Quantum Morse Machine
A Simple Free Will Theorem
In the quantum Morse machine, I do transmit information faster than the speed of light. But the information I have transmitted is useless as it is, in effect, encrypted using a one-time pad. The only person in possession of a copy of this one-time pad is me: the sender.
Claude Shannon proved a one-time pad is unbreakable during the Second World War. Yet the British succeeded in breaking it. How was this possible?
The fatal weakness in the German one-time pads was the random numbers used to code the messages were generated by a machine, and were therefore not truly random. The numbers followed a sequence, and it was possible for Allied code breakers to work out the sequence and decode the messages. It follows that if we believe no message can propagate faster than the speed of light, my sequence of numbers must be non-computable. There must be no algorithm or computation that could generate it. Otherwise it would be liable to the same sort of decryption attack that the one-time pads suffered. If sequences of random measurements taken in the universe are non-computable it follows the Universe as a whole must be non-computable.
There are a few holes you could pick in this argument. Would it be sufficient if it were impossible to decrypt the message in the age of the Universe? What if there was an algorithm, but it was practically unknowable? But, I am talking here of principle. In principle, the Universe must be non-decryptable.
