It Was Interesting RoadWalker, I love the fact you wander around out there. It is nice for me to have a companion in spirit.

I watched it all, but I would have to criticize it. I see things differently than he does. Everything he said was from a perspective of where we understand things to be now. I didn't see where he had an awareness of an expanding knowledge directed perception i.e. I'm pretty sure that there is a more sophisticated system in the universe than physics, that being consciousness.

Alfred North Whitehead, who is Bertrand Russell's buddy and both wrote Mathematica Principia in 1916, said we have this tendency to divide the universe between the organic and the inorganic, but I think consciousness is a third system in the universe.

I have thought about that for 50 years. And I'm sure he is absolutely correct and can even guess at what he was thinking. We see how quickly we have evolved our awareness and our ability to expand our consciousness and intelligence. Indeed, we see that there is such a thing as awareness. We know it exists and we can be pretty sure we are functioning at a pretty rudimentary level. And we can also see that it's growing at an exponential rate and producing perceptions, ideas, and awareness that was inconceivable even 50 years ago.

I don't think that stops. I think it keeps going on into an infinite depth of conscious, complexity, and involving infinite dimensions and infinite universes and infinite physics. That is the reality of everything. And when he says we may never be able to know about the multi-verse, I believe at one point probably soon, our computers will show us a way of understanding and confirming those sort of questions that just never occurred to us because we couldn't see it. Because we simply had inadequate knowledge directed perception.

But we are working toward that level of understanding at the speed of light. All you have to do is watch some of that Japanese anime-lol.

Happy New Year RoadWalker.
