Hope this makes sense to someone. Quantum theory provides a basis for atoms to exist in multiple places at a time. Although most people prefer to think of this as evidence for alternate universes, it seems more likely that every atom in our own universe is constructed purely of the same proton, electron, and neutron all of which have a different quantum state allowing that atom (or construction of protons, electrons, and neutrons) to occupy an infinite number of places at once (infinite being a relative number to suggest that it may occupy as many places as there is enough energy to support.) Now, if a single hydrogen atom can have a nearly infinite number of positions due to a large number of quantum states, and that no single atom can be determined to exist, or exist in a particular area in space, until it is observed, then atoms occupy all possible spaces at once. Upon being measured, observed, etc. the atom makes a “choice” so to speak. When completing this choice the atom is observed at its present state. These elementary decisions seem to support the idea that intelligence is a law of physics, not an absurd accident of the universe. If the quantum state were not decided, the atom would not exist upon observation. Even if the universe is inherently intelligent it has no ability to observe itself without tools making it an idea rather than a physical manifestation. As humans create tools for observation of itself and the universe it resides in, an intelligent universe creates life for the same purpose, life which obeys the physical law of intelligence. Intelligent life has the ability observe the universe directly from within and prove the existence of the universe. Why is it important for the universe to be intelligent for the universe to support intelligent life? The simple answer is that anything within our universe tends to follow universal rules. Gravity attracts and is directly related to the amount of mass contained within an object. Energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, etc. If intelligence exists in a form that can be proven (human beings for example) then intelligence must exist in the universe as a rule. This is a positive sign that intelligence is highly distributed throughout the universe even if it does not exist in a familiar form. Intelligence is a very loose term in this instance. For example, a computer processing unit (cpu) can manipulate energy through channels to create an intelligent output based on input received. Human beings observe this phenomenon and claim it as their invention; however, human beings operate on a very similar mechanism. The brain collects input from its input devices (eyes, ears, touch, smell, etc.), processes the information, and then provides usable output. Human beings often comment on these topics by asking questions such as “where would be if computers didn’t exist?” The answer is simple; human beings would not exist. The lack of a physical law of intelligence would not allow computers to work in this universe and indeed life in general would not exist either. On the smallest scale, intelligence is simply the transfer of information from one molecule, atom, etc. to another. If an electron is excited and driven to a grounded point, and along the way creates some sort of useful information, it has succeeded at proving the intellectual capacity of the atom. The simple act of creating life, arranging atoms into a form where they can manipulate themselves, proves the intelligence of the universe. This does not imply that the universe is conscious; however it does imply that the universe contains the ability to be conscious even if by accident. Earlier it was mentioned that atoms make choices, because they have a single observable state. The term “choices” was used because it is a familiar term, implying an atom has the ability to solidify one of two or more possible states. This doesn’t mean the atom has a conscious decision to make, but simply states that between two possible outcomes the atom only becomes one. This is an interesting idea to explore because at the moment of the big bang, if only one atom were created and that atom could occupy any space and could also pop into and out of existence randomly, that all possible choices were explored, creating the universe we see today. The universe was created as we see it because this is the outcome of a single atom being observed in all possible quantum states as supported by the initial energy contained within the big bang. This supports quantum theory and the Schrodinger experiment even though any act of observation does not indicate any apparent change. The atoms have made their “choices” already, and are only where they can be at this given point in time.
