Can quantum computers turn psychohistory true?

 Can quantum computers turn psychohistory true? 


The psychohistory is introduced in Isaac Asimov's novel "The Foundation". The idea of this SciFi tool is this. By using Boltzmann's constant and modified formulas that were originally made for predicting the gas molecule's behavior in 3D space in very big entireties is possible to create an AI that can predict a large human group's behavior. The system uses statistics about things like economic situations and historical facts about the human or nation's behavior, and then it compares that data to things that happen just now. 

The fact is that this kind of mathematical and psychological-mathematical formula can be a reality quite soon. And the reason for that is quantum computers. Quantum computers can turn many things that were Sci-Fi tales into reality. 



In predictions, these types of mathematical formulas can be used to predict the behavior of large groups of humans. In the case of individual humans, there are lots of variables, and that's why we cannot create formulas that can predict the behavior of large human groups. But then we must remember one thing. 

Can we someday calculate a single individual's behavior? In that model, there are lots of variables needed. But quantum computers can handle even trillions of variables. And those systems can handle the human brain as a system there could be more axons than stars in the Milky Way. Quantum computer-based AIs can calculate multiple objects at the same time. And that thing is the tool that can make systems that predict individual human behavior. 

Our knowledge about the human nervous system increases all the time. Even if there are lots of variables we must remember that things like AI and quantum computers are good to handle multiple variables. And if we someday know precisely how our nervous system works. And what are the purpose and tracks for certain neurotransmitters? It's possible that someday we can predict or calculate individual human behavior. 

Quantum computers can handle the brain as the cloud. There are multiple neurotransmitters and neural tracks. The number of those tracks is enormous, but it's limited. AI and quantum computers with highly accurate state-of-the-art scanners are possible, that system uses brain images and create models or simulations about brain and neuron interactions inside the brain. 

The system could use modified programs that were developed to simulate the actions in a thundercloud. The neural connections could be lightning routes. And the neuro-transmitter-neuron interactions can be like interactions between water molecules and electrons. The system can use quantum computers to calculate how those neurotransmitters interact. That means, maybe in the future it will be possible to calculate a single person's behavior.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
