Summary

Tomorrow#xE2;#xAC;"s Science Today#xE2;#xAC;SIf a complete unified theory was discovered, itwould only be a matter of time before it wasdigested and simplified #xE2;#xAC;#xA6; and taught in schools,at least in outline. We should then all be able tohave some understanding of the laws that governthe universe and are responsible for ourexistence.#xE2;#xAC;(#xE2;#xAC;SA Brief History of Time#xE2;#xAC; by Stephen Hawking,Introduction by Carl Sagan #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Bantam Press 1988,page 168)So let#xE2;#xAC;"s give credit where credit is due andencourage the scientists to pursue themathematics and measurements which we mayfind boring and tedious, but let#xE2;#xAC;"s remind themoccasionally that maths and measures are nothingunless they give everyone understanding whichcan show the way when scientists get lost in theirdetails and competing theories. I saw a video (#xE2;#xAC;SHidden Dimensions: Exploring Hyperspace#xE2;#xAC;) 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 #xE2;#xAC;SImagination is more important than knowledge#xE2;#xAC; so let#xE2;#xAC;"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 article 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#xE2;#xAC;"ll see, 5th dimensional hyperspace) has a digital (electronic) foundation.It logically leads 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 #xE2;#xAC;Scomputer-generated#xE2;#xAC; and #xE2;#xAC;Scomputer#xE2;#xAC; 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=mc2 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 indeed 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.
