The one thing I do believe very strongly is that we are only seeing a small portion of reality. As you well know, in science they talk about knowledge directed perception. We can only see what we can understand. Alfred North Whitehead said something I read 40 years ago that stayed with me. He said: "we have the tendency to divide the universe into the organic and inorganic. I believe consciousness is a third system in the universe." I think so too and I think computers will find it for us. We are just not seeing it. Maybe it is beyond our senses ability. PS I have thought a lot about spooky action at a distance. I know it is a manifestation of the quantum wave action, but that says nothing, maybe the way it works is that distance in space is not real, so actually things are right next to each other. Diminsions and such? Time is the other big mystery along with gravity. As Einstein said: what is amazing is that we chimps (my word) can even contemplate the universe.
