I saw a video ("Hidden Dimensions: Exploring Hyperspace" - http:
//www.worldsciencefestival.com/hidden-dimensions) in which it was
stated that mathematicians are free to imagine anything while
physicists work in a very different environment constrained by
experiment, and that the American physicist Richard Feynman
(1918-1988) said scientists work in a straitjacket. Well, Albert
Einstein (1879-1955) said "Imagination is more important than
knowledge" so let's see what happens when we throw away everyday
tradition and conformity, let our imaginations fly (while trying to
stay grounded in science and technology), and thus release science
from its straitjacket This little book has its beginnings in
cellular automata (in mathematics and computer science, collections
of cells on a grid that evolve through a number of discrete time
steps according to a set of rules based on the states of
neighbouring cells) and grew into a belief that the universe
(electromagnetism, gravitation, space-time and, as we'll see, 5th
dimensional hyperspace) has a digital (electronic) foundation. This
belief can be supported by 11 steps that begin with an experiment
in electrical engineering at Yale University in the USA. These
steps logically lead to assertions of instant intergalactic travel,
time travel into the past as well as the future (neither of which
can be altered), of unification of the large-scale universe with
small-scale quantum particles, that the universe is a
computer-generated hologram, that everyone who ever lived can have
eternal life and health, that motion is an illusion caused by the
rapid display of digitally generated "frames," that the entire
universe is contained in (or unified with) every one of its
particles, that the terms "computer-generated" and "computer" do
not necessarily refer to an actual machine sending out binary
digits or qubits, that we only possess a small degree of free will,
that humanity could have created our universe and ourselves though
unification physics says a being called God must nevertheless exist
and likewise be Creator, and that Einstein's E=mc squared equation
could be modified for the 21st century, reflecting the digital
nature of reality. Though these things may be unbelievable in 2011,
we should not ignore the possibilities of their being true or of
their showing that reality is basically digital because they are
the logical product of already demonstrated electrical engineering
and trips into space, science is investigating time travel and
unification, the notion of motion has been suspect to some ever
since the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea (490?-420? B.C.)
argued that motion is absurd, and many religions worldwide speak of
God and have some concept of survival of bodily death.
