voodooattack,

The incessant idea that I get when I read about quantum physics: with no observers and nothing to interact with/measure it, was the universe itself in superposition during the Big Bang? If so, did the wave function even collapse or are we just one of the possible outcomes inside of it?

voodooattack,

Never said anything about it not existing. From what I understood, a particle that’s not interacting with an outside force stays in superposition by default. The universe was supposedly a single particle at the moment of the Big Bang, thus it stands to reason that it would have been in superposition if it couldn’t interact with anything else.

voodooattack,

I see what you mean, but if this is possible, then I don’t see why not the entire universe as a whole near T≈0.

voodooattack,

So you’re saying it’s absolutely, 100% impossible that the universe in its entirety was/is in superposition at any one point?
