Simulations, Science, & Reality
Electrical engineer, and scientific truth seeker
Jim Elvidge,
discussed theories of a programmed reality, in which we may be living
in a giant simulation, as well as developments in science and the mind.
All the evidence seems to point to the idea that our world is made of
bits and data that in some ways seems to follow patterns that we see in
computational systems, he noted. Philosopher
Nick Bostrom
has posited that at some point in the future, we'll be able to create
simulations of a fantasy reality computationally in a "post-human"
phase, and if that is true, we could already be in such a simulation,
Elvidge pointed out. When we die, we could in a sense wake up from the
experience of living in our physical matter reality, which may seem as
unreal to us as a dream, Elvidge intriguingly suggested.
Further, he theorized that our consciousness comes from somewhere
outside the human body, is driven by intent and free will, and uses our
brain to experience physical matter reality. He also spoke about
different concepts of parallel realities. One is espoused by the
metaphysical writer Tom Campbell, who delineates an astral plane or
thought space that encompasses our physical reality and other ones
similar to ours, and he believes that we can travel between these
parallel worlds.
In NDEs and other out-of-body states, people are sometimes able to
experience timelessness (time being a factor of physical reality), or
see timelines existing simultaneously, thus experiencing a kind of time
travel, Elvidge explained. In the fields of science and technology, he
listed autonomous cars, hover bikes (bikes that hover above the ground),
and bionic eyes as particularly remarkable recent developments.
