Is our universe inside a wormhole? (# 33)

The primary hypothesis of this series of articles is that our universe resembles what happens when a wormhole has been created inside a black hole in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. Professor Susskind of Stanford University derived a set of equations as part of ongoing research into computational complexity. When these equations are converted into a form consistent with our universe being a giant quantum computation, the resultant equations appear to provide scientific explanations for both dark energy and dark matter. This article is a brief summary of some of the implications of previous articles.
Origin of our universe
Most of the first 18 articles set out ideas about how our universe came into being. This discussion did not describe how our universe might have evolved. The aim was to show that concepts like consciousness and the laws of physics could have rational explanations rather than being assumptions that cannot be tested. The next 14 articles described a way of testing those explanations. Such tests do not prove the explanations are correct; the aim is to encourage physicists and mathematicians to recognize that there could be rational explanations for the origin of consciousness and the laws of physics. Whether Consciousness came first or the laws of physics came first requires further investigation.
One of the theoretical ideas set out in the first 18 articles is that the laws of physics for our universe could evolve along the lines of a game of ‘Surprise 20 questions’. When researchers carry out experiments to understand the laws of physics, they generally assume that these laws are immutable. One interpretation of the analysis of the velocities of stars, however, is that the fabric of space is more complex than the rubber sheet analogy implied by Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. The fabric of space is more like the memory foam of a mattress. Space incorporates information about past events. The laws of physics may appear to change because of what has happened in the past.
A possible implication of this memory foam approach is that various forms of matter such as gases and places on Earth could instantiate information about the past. With appropriate training, researchers may be able not only to uncover information about the past but also change the information about the past.
For example, in the second half of the 20th century, the United States Department of Defense funded research into remote viewing. The idea was that a ‘remote viewer’ could develop an intuitive ability to see things in places they had never visited. Funding for the program was terminated, however, because the ‘viewing’ was not sufficiently accurate. Nevertheless, statisticians showed that many of the remote viewers were able to demonstrate performance much greater than pure chance. Mainstream scientists generally believe remote viewing is inconsistent with known laws of physics. When researchers start to believe something is possible and actively develop their skills, the laws of physics appear to change.
Our universe is a mathematical hologram

Another implication arising from the theoretical explanation for the velocities of stars is that we are more like observers of our reality rather than active participants in it. We may strongly identify with being a particular person but that person is more like a character or ‘avatar’ in a movie. Nevertheless, how we respond to events experienced by our ‘avatar’ could influence how the movie progresses. The movie was created with many possible time paths; we can learn more about the possibilities open to us. We can also learn about how to ‘realize’ alternate possibilities.
We are experiencing this life because we are being assessed for our suitability for some future role in another universe. We have free will to make our own decisions. Our life in a future universe will depend on how compatible we are with other inhabitants in that universe.
In our perceived reality, our world is currently experiencing many crises. We are being assessed on how we respond to these crises. Solutions may emerge depending on our individual responses. While our world is populated by many people, their future actions may depend on our personal actions. In other words, if we were to wait for someone else to take appropriate action before taking action, we may wait forever.
One of the challenges we are facing is that the actions we need to take may not only be unclear at the moment but even when we do take action it may take time before we receive any feedback on the consequences of that action.
For example, matter in our universe vibrates at different frequencies. Matter resonates in response to current and past events. Our brain functions with a range of frequencies, some of these frequencies resonate with Earth’s resonant frequencies. We, potentially, have the mental ability to influence where carbon dioxide molecules reside in Earth’s atmosphere. We can change the information that determines the density of carbon dioxide molecules in Earth’s atmosphere i.e. have the intention to move carbon dioxide molecules into higher orbits around Earth thus reducing the rate at which greenhouse gases are heating the Earth.
Since we are witnessing events on Earth rather than actively participating, having a strong belief that we can move the carbon dioxide molecules is sufficient to move the molecules without actually knowing how it will be done. Scientists will work that out later when presented with the evidence that it is happening.
Moving carbon dioxide molecules into outer space

There are at least two problems associated with moving carbon dioxide molecules further into outer space. First, practitioners need to believe that they can achieve the desired effect. The laws of physics stay the same because many scientists believe that we cannot change the laws. One of the objectives of these articles is to provide evidence that at least some of the laws of physics can change. In that regard, future articles will provide additional reasons for believing that our universe is designed like a giant computation. An understanding of the algorithms determining how the universe evolves will strengthen the belief that some laws of physics can be modified.
A second problem is that many people will need to practice moving carbon dioxide molecules before any effect becomes noticeable. This ‘quorum sensing’ effect is a known biological and physical phenomenon.
The question for this article is:
Can you develop psychic abilities?
