To better understand how the quantum environment interacts with our universe, we're going to have to learn more about how that quantum ether-world accesses the "back door" to the quantum computer which is our universe.
In Ruth Kastner’s excellent book on quantum interpretation, Understanding Our Unseen Reality (2015), she terms the timeless environment where quantum transactions take place, as Quantumland. I will use that term here.
So, what is the difference between time and space in Quantumland, and in our universe? In a word, divisibility, or, more precisely, a limit to their divisibility.
If there were no limit to the divisibility of time, then it would take forever for a second, or any unit of time you care to mention, to pass, rendering the dimension of distance to be essentially not applicable. If a frog was hopping down a football field and only jumping half the distance to the goal line for each subsequent hop, it would never reach the goal line. But if we limit the hops to a minimum distance, it would. The dimension of time works the same way. The 3 dimensions of space, and the dimension of time, are “created” when we limit their divisibility, and those limits are Planck-time and Planck-length. Wherever divisibility is not limited, there is effectively no distance (i.e a non-local environment) and no time. Put another way, you could get anywhere (or everywhere at once) in Quantumland in no time. Time and space exist in Quantumland, but they’re infinitely divisible, rendering them irrelevant.
We are creatures born of our 4-D universe, and cannot (yet?) survive being divided, much less divided to quantum level particles. But do quantum level particles slip through the Planck spacetime gaps in the fabric of our 4-D spacetime universe into Quantumland and back at will? The evidence indicates that they do. Now the ultimate philosophical question: What is the nature of our self-aware souls, spirits or consciousnesses, which we’ve been completely unable to quantify? Could they, like quantum phenomena, slip through the Planck spacetime firewall as well?
