Uk.businessinsider. Business Insider We trust the scientists around us to have the best grasp on how the world actually works. So at this year's 2016 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate at the American Museum of Natural History, which addressed the question of whether the universe is a simulation, the answers from some panelists may be more comforting than the responses from others. Physicist Lisa Randall, for example, said she thought the odds that the universe isn't "real" are so low as to be "effectively zero. " A satisfying answer for those who don't want to sit there puzzling out what it would mean for the universe not to be real, to be sure. But on the other hand, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who was hosting the debate, said that he thinks the likelihood of the universe being a simulation "may be very high.

" Uh oh? The question of whether we know that our universe is real has vexed thinkers going far back into history, long before Descartes made his famous "I think therefore I am" statement. Uk.businessinsider. Stephanie Mitchell/Harvard Staff PhotographerLisa Randall. Where do we come from? There are many right answers to this question, and the one you get often depends on who you ask. For example, an astrophysicist might say that the chemical components of our bodies were first forged in the nuclear fires of stars. On the other hand, an evolutionary biologist might look at the similarities between our DNA and that of other primates' and conclude we evolved from apes.

Lisa Randall, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University, has a different, and novel answer, which she describes in her latest book, "Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs. " Randall has written other popular science books, including the New York Times bestseller "Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions. " Her studies at Harvard explore theoretical particle physics and cosmology. One species' extinction is another's head start Thomson Reuters Among the survivors were small primates. Business Insider. This is What Happens When You Die: The 12 Steps to Immortality.

The accounts given here today, will resonate with you like nothing else. A collaboration of Taoist, Catholic, Cabala, Egyptian, Hindu, Buddhist and Gnostic teachings that have been passed down throughout history. Many accounts have been shrouded in secrecy and given in code only to chosen initiates, as this immortal path is taken only when the souls progression reaches maturity after many incarnations. Whether it be a death of the living, known as rebirth or ‘twice born’, or permanent death where the soul leaves the body upon sickness or old age. 1.You are Filled with a Light The light permeates your entire being, but is not without shape or form, in fact it holds a shape of its own and many forms within it. There have been many accounts of near death experiences where people attest to seeing a light and speaking to God and return filled with a greater knowledge of themselves and the life in which they exist. 2. 3. 4.You Drink of the Cup of Everlasting Life “Hermes is the Primal Source. 5.

Nick Bostrom, professor of Philosophy at Oxford University and the Director of the Future of Humanity Institute has offered the theory that we may not actually be what we think we are.

We may, in fact, be a holographic program generated by banks of supercomputers created by an alien species. As a side note, could you imagine creating a group of sentient beings and then having them figure out on their own that you created them? This is a pretty fringe concept, but not without its backers. Rich Terrile, the director of the Centre for Evolutionary Computation and Automated Design at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory thinks that our creator may not be a God, but a cosmic computer programmer. Neat. “Right now the fastest NASA supercomputers are cranking away at about double the speed of the human brain,” the NASA scientist told Vice.

“In quantum mechanics, particles do not have a definite state unless they’re being observed.” Some think the theory is flawed. Simulation Argument. Joe Rogan & NASA Physicist: We’re Living in the Matrix. If you found out that we are all living in the matrix, would you take the blue pill and live a pleasant illusion or take the red pill and live in the harsh real world?

In this video Joe Rogan and Nasa Physicist Tom Campbell discuss a wide range of topics that centre around the simulation theory and the theory that our universe might just be a hologram. If we as humanity are going to evolve we need to gain a deeper understanding of the universe and also our inner-selves. Tom hits the nail on the head when he says that ‘Love’ is the optimal way for people to interact, this is only way humanity can experience real spiritual growth. Kasim Khan, Team Spirit. Home - My Big Toe. Review of "My Big TOE" by Tom Campbell. A new review based on extensive study. When I first became aware of Thomas Campbell and his trilogy of books, My Big TOE, I had already spent my life with the constant underlying purpose of learning to understand the nature of reality which in my view includes God. Not however the personal God described at your local religious institution. I had already published the results of my studies on the internet at www.active-mysticism.com.

As a technical professional (Ph. D. – Mechanical Engineering) with a lot of computer modeling experience, I appreciated the technical approach taken by MBT and had a sufficient background to understand the models development. The brief information available (at www.mybigtoe.com) made me believe that I would learn from these books in the fields of my interest and the different point of view I expected to find promised to be even more enlightening. The results far exceeded my expectations. My original review written shortly after first reading My Big TOE. Short Model of Reality: Boundary - Page 2. Here is a boundary to the reality to which we normally have access. This is a nonphysical (non-material) barrier of an unknown and unstudied nature which can be visited only at considerable effort and in a nonphysical form: vision or out of body experience. There is an orifice in this barrier which emits a continuous stream of some form of field which eventually fills or more accurately, creates the volume of our reality.

I choose to call it an existence field or God's Will. It is by the nature and presence of this field that God ~ Ultimate Reality wills into existence or creates and sustains the contents of the reality within which we exist as a part.
