A multiversal view of reality — •Roland Schmidt — 34225 Baunatal, Deutschland

Quantum mechanics is complemented by an inertia operator. Based on this, it can be shown that the equivalence principle of the general theory of relativity is invalid. This inadequacy results from an as yet overlooked incompleteness of classical electrodynamics. Obviously, an observation can only arise from cerebrally attached electromagnetic interactions, in which a perceiving observer is involved as a realizing instance. However, as far as the process of observation is concerned, classical electrodynamics does not distinguish sufficiently between cerebrally attached and cerebrally detached electromagnetism. In particular, it cannot be explained on an exclusively classical basis how light that reaches the spatial presence of an observer finally also penetrates into the observer's cerebral presence, so that an experienced sensory impression is realized within the observer's cerebral apparatus. The interaction of light with the observer's intra-cerebral presence can only be explained on the basis of quantum theory. With this background, it is shown that no objectively valid universe is realized at all. Actually, a multiverse of cerebrally established realities takes place instead of a single universally valid reality. To put it plagatively: The cerebral apparatuses of the observers do not occur in reality, but realities occur in the cerebral apparatuses of the observers.
