The event took place at the Sorbonne international conference center, in Paris on Novembre 4 and 5, 2023. His two main hypotheses revolve around the quantum macro-bubble and its links with consciousness.
"It is often said that UAP defy the laws of physics, but the behavior of UAP conforms to the most advanced laws of physics," explained Philippe Guillemant at the start of his talk.
His talk was based on the interpretation of the phenomenon of quantum decoherence, and more explicitly on the theory of the macroscopic quantum bubble. He explained that he is not the only one working on this theory, as notably the US Navy had made a patent application in 2018.
TheWARZONE section of the Thedrive website refers to a US Navy "UFO" (Unidentified Flying Object) patent, in which this theory is mentioned.
According to Dr. Guillemant, reality is made up of information, and space and time are emergent. This means that space doesn't really exist as a container; it is consciousness that interprets content to form a container.
There would therefore be three elements: the container, i.e. matter/space, and consciousness.
Philippe Guillemant mentioned Carlo Rovelli, one of the fathers of loop quantum gravity, who says that space and time are emergent and that there is no container, i.e. that physics could be reconstructed from the relations between objects.
Continuing his presentation, he discussed the "block universe" theory, which postulates that our space-time is already realized in the future, just as it was in the past. In this theory, if we wish to create a link with the UAP phenomenon, we have to consider entries and exits from space-time. They wouldn't then come directly from our space-time, or if they did, they would have to leave it in order to visit us again. It's as if they were able to form a wormhole between their reality, their point of space and time, and ours.
He went on to explain that this would mean that space-time would necessarily be flexible, i.e. that if the future were already realized, it could be modified, since we could move in and out of it.
For his theory of space-time to be mathematically possible, it would be necessary to add a time that would be the real time, our own time. Nevertheless, he explained that time “does not exist”.
To describe this flexibility with the help of this extra time, he explained that it would also be necessary to add 6 dimensions, which would be vibratory dimensions, to give a destination and a path. There is currently no physical proof of the existence of these dimensions.
According to Dr. Guillemant, if we assume that the future has already been realized, considering that the multiverse resembles a "tree of life", we could conceive of it locally. The multiverse that physicists speak of would be a myriad of possibilities for the realization of our future, whether collective or personal.
To understand changes in the future, he used the GPS metaphor, quoting his own article in the journal Annals of Physics, where he shows that we can conceive of changes in the future taking place discontinuously, like a GPS: when its trajectory changes, it is not continuous, but discontinuous, i.e. changes are made only at bifurcations.
Other work also published by Dr Guillemant in the same journal shows that it is possible to change reality locally, as could be the case with UAP. Take, for example, a reality in which the unidentified phenomenon did not occur. If a UAP came from outside space-time, we would suddenly have a reality in which it changed the future. This feat would only be possible if we could demonstrate that it is possible to change reality loc de ré ally without upsetting the future. These arguments were published in his aforementioned work.
Dr. Guillemant's research attempts to demonstrate the necessity of adding six vibratory dimensions to space-time. To these would be added an extra time to describe changes outside time.
His hypothesis is that the added time would correspond to the true time of evolution, if we wanted to describe a future that is in the process of changing. If we consider ordinary time, it would be the reading head of a future already realized. It would therefore not be through this ordinary time that we could describe the change in the future.
Another metaphor might explain the possibility of changing the future. The cylinder of space would correspond to this allegory: it would be plunged inside an ocean of information that would be the void. This ocean would not actually be empty, but it would be made up of what is known as quantum gravity, which could be described in the future thanks to additional dimensions currently described in string theory. This quantum gravity could be seen as a description of the vibrations of the vacuum, i.e. the vibrations of space, quantum foam and so on.
To sum up, our reality would be immersed in an ocean of vacuum, made up of waves. These waves would influence reality, and these vacuum vibrations would be capable of modifying our future timelines.
Philippe Guillemant described two situations when applying his theory to objects, using two identical space-time cylinders:
In the first situation, the object is outside space-time, in time T1.
In the second situation, at time T2, it is inserted into space-time, which would imply, in this out-of-time conception, the manifestation of the phenomenon.
He explained that this implies a revision of our conception of time, and in particular of the present, which remains an enigma for physics. For Philippe Guillemant, the present outside the phenomenon would only make sense for consciousness. In fact, the present could be seen as the moment in time when the phenomenon takes place, transforming a potentially removable future reality into a fixed past reality. This would suggest that the present has the function of ratifying choices made by the universe in the future.
This would correspond to decoherence. It would be a process that naturally transforms a quantum reality, where everything is superimposed, where all possibilities exist, into a single reality.
He also suggested that decoherence could fit in with the theory of convivial Solipsism by French physicist Hervé Zwirn, who proposes that our reality is constructed by a collective of interconnected consciousnesses or brains. This would mean that from a multiverse of completely different possibilities, we would collectively create a single reality.
To consider this theory, and to make the function of the present compatible with the "block" universe theory, it would be necessary to revise our conception of linear time and not relate everything to something created in the present, since the future would already be created.
Philippe Guillemant explained that our awareness of the present would correspond to a window of time of a certain width or thickness, which could be variable. He represented it as a sliding window that varies. The diagram showed an hourglass representing, at the top, the multiple reality of all possible futures, which becomes a single reality after passing through the time window of the present. By enlarging this window, there would also be a slowdown in the flow of information from the future, as the present would no longer be traversed at the same speed.
Decoherence would be the mechanism by which reality is actualized through the brain, and this would require the intervention of a consciousness that makes choices. These choices would not necessarily be free; it would be possible for them to be perfectly conditioned and thus realized by the brain, i.e. for the consciousness to have knowledge of the possibilities.
Decoherence would thus be at the origin of the space-time factory, i.e. the transformation of a quantum reality into a physical reality. In a quantum reality, there would be no space and no time. When it is said that particles are everywhere at once, this does not mean that they would be at all points, but that, within a particular area of space, which might be a bubble, they would appear to be everywhere at once.
Philippe Guillemant explained that decoherence is now being studied in physics, and is of particular interest to the emerging discipline of quantum thermodynamics.
The aim is to study the link between thermodynamic phenomena and, in particular, non-equilibrium phenomena linked to quantum physics.
He proposed that there is a systematic loss of information in interactions, which would explain the indeterminacy of physics. It would therefore be conceivable to devise a technique that could counteract the phenomenon of decoherence.
A quantum object, immersed in an environment, would receive information from it and obtain a well-defined location. If external radiation could be prevented from leaving, being scattered or reflected because of the object's location, then decoherence could be prevented. It would result from the fact that space would not exist, and that objects in the Universe would inform and warn each other of their position. If it were possible to suppress this relationship, which would be established via photons and electromagnetic sources, the quantum character of the object would be preserved, i.e. its non-locality. To prevent this, there would be two methods that could be combined:
It would be a matter of reducing or eliminating the exchange of localization information in order to maintain a macro-quantum state, a locally quantum state. We'd have to force it to remain perpetually in vibration, and in a disordered manner, with a mechanism that uses a coherent radiation source, for example. This quantum source would set the lattice in vibration while positioning it in a delocalized quantum state. External radiation would then be unable to decoherence the atoms in the wall of the quantum bubble.
Dr. Guillemant's theory is highly speculative, and he admitted as much. However, for him, it would be necessary to go through this theory. He also explained that this does not mean that other theories are not correct.
He went on to explain that the physics of antimatter or the eather are physics to be taken into account, but that they are speculative and even contested. He therefore prefers to consider decoherence physics, which would provide a better understanding of quantum bubble theory.
To explain the UAP event, and justify his quantum bubble theory, he explained that these phenomena defy gravity, but also thermodynamics.
These phenomena don't give off heat, antigravity is displayed, air and water don't resist them, and displacements are erratic. All these observables could be explained by his theory, which would be the only situation that would allow a vessel, an object, to be placed outside thermodynamics, because it would suppress time. If linear time is suppressed, so are thermodynamic effects. Although not yet complete, for Dr. Guillemant, this theory is unavoidable.
He also put forward other arguments in support of his hypothesis.
The consequences of resistance to decoherence would be observable in terms of time and space. He also explained that the slowing down of information passing through the bubble, i.e. the slowing down of information becoming future information, would result in time dilation. This would be a natural phenomenon, i.e. the moment a quantum bubble is formed, time dilation would automatically occur, since decoherence would have slowed down, and the flow of information would have diminished. He explained that if we wanted to keep a ship immersed in space-time, it would not be possible to suppress the flow of information. We would have to dilate time for the theory to work. At the same time as time would expand, the phenomenon would compress space, as the geodesics of spacetime would no longer be able to integrate the vessel.
What would happen then?
The geodesics would be forced to bypass the vessel. This bypassing effect would reduce the apparent size of the vessel, making it appear smaller.
It is clear, then, that the quantum bubble theory, with its suppression of decoherence and hence of the space-time factory, would automatically generate time dilation and space compression.
UAP sightings suggest that there is evidence of time dilation. His theory would explain these reports. He also detailed elements that could be explained in the case of time dilation. When a witness is under the influence of a UAP, the area is sometimes empty of traffic, the environment becomes completely silent, car engines restart on their own, a transparent metal effect can be reported, the sound of voices distorted, and so on. Dr. Guillemant explained that when he was an artificial intelligence engineer, he often had to "average images" over time. This treatment reduces the effects of noise. When, for example, he averaged 1,000 images of a phenomenon such as a passing car, the car would disappear, meaning that the car had completely melted into the background. All that remained would be the scenery - the "OZ effect". In his opinion, UAP cause this effect, which could be explained by time dilation.
Philippe Guillemant explained that we could also understand what a quantum bubble is thanks to wormholes.
The wormhole is a theoretical phenomenon. A wormhole should not be confused with a black hole, which are two different phenomena. A wormhole could connect two black holes. A wormhole, by definition, would be a bridge connecting two points in space and time, and therefore a phenomenon that would be punctual, whereas a black hole is a phenomenon that persists. What would a wormhole be? They could be defined as "doorknobs", a channel of communication between two points in space and time. Bear in mind that these two points would be at different moments in time, so the wormhole would have to be conceived not as a channel, but as a bubble moving from point A to point B. This would mean that, if we wanted to represent and explain it, we'd have to accept that a black or white hole could be a passing phenomenon, appearing and disappearing. We could then define a true black hole not as a hole, but as a rift in space-time.
According to Guillemant, this would be a very interesting hypothesis, but it would be impossible to manufacture a wormhole, as it would require considerable energy. However, based on the theories presented in this article, the problem could be solved. Decoherence would be nothing other than the possibility of creating a hole in space-time. Furthermore, he explained that what prevents physicists from embarking on this type of interpretation is that this hole is fundamentally removable, i.e. it appears and disappears without us having enough time to describe it. In quantum gravity, we would have the same problem, since we have theoretically discovered the possibility of micro-wormholes. These are again described as doorknobs, but made static. According to Philippe Guillemant, they are not described as bubbles, whereas if we introduced this new time, we could define them as bubbles or drops of water that "escape" from the surface of the ocean to fall a little further away.
He then turned to the classical approach to the space-time bubble, which is the Alcubierre metric. He doesn't see how this theory could be realized and how it could be applied and correspond to UAP.
On the one hand, it would require an enormous amount of energy, and on the other, the navigation system would be difficult to conceive (such as making right-angle turns, as described by UAP witnesses). Finally, there would be no time distortion in the case of Alcubierre's metric, so he rejects it, but only provisionally, as it would still be possible to consider it only if it could be combined with lower energy quantities. For example, using high-frequency coherent radiation.
This coherent radiation would have to be high-frequency, because it would have to prevent the whole space, the whole radiation spectrum, from being “decohered”.
According to Philippe Guillemant, we know that in the intergalactic integral vacuum, decoherence takes a long time to occur naturally. The explanation is that ultra-hard high-frequency rays, including gamma rays, are so energetic that they are in very short supply. To achieve decoherence, it's the quantity of photons that counts, not their energy.
To sum up, Philippe Guillemant reminded the audience that, in order to introduce a real time in which we could describe the insertion of a ship into space-time, it would have to pass through the future because it would be isolated. The quantum bubble (the ship) would not follow decoherence, so there could be no gravity, since spacetime would not be formed around it. The decoherence mechanism would cause gravity, not the other way around, so reverse causality would be at play. Putting a ship inside decoherence would naturally lead to a decrease in the flow of information, which would dilate time. The Oz effect would explain the various observations of UAP in terms of time dilation. It would also enable us to understand their ability to be invisible, their blurred appearance and the fact that we can't film or photograph them. This means that when you film a quantum object, you don't get its decoherence. The naked eye would see all possible superpositions of the object, because the human eye is designed to decoherence the phenomena it can see - in other words, only one version of reality. He also argues that if we could dilate time, most of an object could be in the future. For example, 90% to 99% of the object would be in the future, and 10% to 1% in the present, so it would be slightly visible. Time dilation could also explain why, according to some eyewitness accounts, spaceships may appear much smaller than they actually are.
Relationship between UAP and Consciousness
Philippe Guillemant went on to discuss the relationship between UAP and consciousness.
He explained that there are recurring effects of the phenomenon on witnesses, which could be interpreted as a local de-densification corresponding to time dilation. What we call dematerialization or time dilation would be the same phenomenon. Time dilation would give the appearance of dematerialization. In reality, the object would retain all its materiality, but time dilation would prevent us from perceiving it.
Dr. Guillemant began by discussing the navigation system, hypothesizing that we are not dealing with a material phenomenon in the conventional sense, but with vibratory information.
He went on mentioning interference with human consciousness, sensations of being able to control the phenomenon, the ability to zoom in on it, etc.
He explained that de-densifying a reality locally, i.e. dilating its time, would be tantamount to taking it out of space-time. When consciousness is outside its body, it can be considered as a kind of de-densified matter.
We'd then be outside space-time, and no longer "begging" the thermodynamic laws that make it difficult to move from one corner of space and time to another, we'd find ourselves in a quantum ontology, where space wouldn't be local, it'd be the space of consciousness. For Philippe Guillemant, space is consciousness, the fruit of a collective construction of all our consciousnesses.
To sum up, Philippe Guillemant explained that the witness may appear to be mostly alone, in an altered state of consciousness, with altered perception, similar to that of people having near-death experiences or other out-of-body experiences.
The ontology would then change, and we'd find ourselves outside the embodied situation, outside space-time, in an ontology of reality. The notion of displacement would no longer have any real course, i.e. to get from one point to another, navigation would be vibratory. To understand this phenomenon, we can take the example of information technology: when you want to retrieve a piece of information from memory, you generate a memory address, and this address enables you to retrieve the information instantaneously. So you don't need to cross space.
Outside space-time, consciousness could vibratory address any other reality as long as it vibrates with what corresponds to it. He admitted that his hypotheses seem a little crazy. But he believes this is one of the keys to understanding the UAP navigation system.
According to him, if we were to try to apply practice to theory, i.e. create a propulsion system, it would be necessary for the pilot's vibratory consciousness to be interfaced with that of the vessel. In this case, the consciousness would correspond to information and would be vibratory in nature if we were able to position the atomic structure of the vessel's walls in a vibratory situation. We could then envisage the possibility of interfacing the pilot's consciousness with the vessel's walls. This means that the whole would be under the aegis of a dominant vibration, which would enable it, inside a bubble, to transport itself from one point in space-time to another. Philippe Guillemant hypothesized that UAP navigate by thought. We might then think that this system would use the brain rather than consciousness, which would mean that consciousness would be a different phenomenon from the brain. He concluded by explaining that it is necessary to remember that there is a rational way of looking at this phenomenon, or, to stay as close as possible to the one we're used to, it would be the pilot's brain that would navigate. These hypotheses remain purely theoretical and are not physically proven.
Dr. Guillemant's presentation responds to the explanations of Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who stated at the beginning of the last century that "if quantum mechanics have not yet shocked you to the core, then you have not yet understood it. Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be considered real". He also repeated that "if an idea doesn't seem bizarre, there's nothing to hope for".
His theory and hypotheses on the quantum macro-bubble and the intervention of consciousness could explain the physics of UAP. However, the nature of this consciousness remains an open question. Is it a fundamental force of the universe, like gravity or energy? Or is it an emergent property of complex systems, like life or intelligence?
