1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,680
You'd think that all the information of that three-dimensional spherical star would be proportional to its volume,
2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:13,520
so the volume of the black hole, yeah, would actually a measure of the information that's retained,
3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:20,000
but it's not. It's proportional to the surface area of that star, which is the spherical
4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:35,920
event horizon. Now, when that was realized, there was an a-ha moment because that's what a hologram does.
5
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,880
Welcome to the Quantum Theory Podcast.
6
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:47,440
Thank you, Jude, so much for joining us today on the Quantum Theory Podcast. I am
7
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,840
elated to have you on and thrilled to dive into most notably your book, The Cosmic
8
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:01,200
hologram, and really the perspective shift paradigm shift, I would call it, that we as a species
9
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,720
are undergoing in the present day, and that I'm personally thrilled to be alive during and be a part
10
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:15,280
of, and I think you are truly one of the great minds of our day that is really making this tangible,
11
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:21,120
quantifiable and empirical through your studies and through the work that you've put down. Before we
12
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,480
hop too deep into things, I want to just really quickly just get some background on yourself for
13
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:32,960
the audience and kind of your origin story of how all of this started for you. I know you mentioned
14
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:39,520
some noetic experiences at a young age that kind of opened your mind to Indra's net and this idea
15
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,720
very, very early on, and so I'd love to give the audience a little background of kind of, you know,
16
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,240
who is Jude and how have you arrived to where you are now and you're in?
17
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,720
Well, Jarrod, thanks for that. And just to say it's been a very scenic route. It has not been a
18
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,560
linear journey by any stretch, and I'm very grateful for that because along the way I've sort of,
19
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:07,120
you know, been so, I'm curious. I mean, my mum used to say that curiosity was my middle name.
20
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:14,160
So from a very early age, I was just curious about the world around me. And as you mentioned,
21
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,680
at a very early age, I'm four years old, I began to have what you refer to as noetic
22
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,000
experiences, some might call them super normal experiences, but basically I was having out of body
23
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:33,600
experiences. I was hearing discontent voices in my inner hearing. I was seeing sort of auras. So,
24
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:43,200
the whole panoply arrayed before me of a world that were not what had appeared the folks around me
25
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:50,480
were experiencing. I didn't realise that to begin with. It was only over time that I sort of realised
26
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,240
that other folks weren't, didn't seem to be experienced this. And it wasn't because I was special.
27
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:02,960
It really wasn't. What I did realise is by not sharing what I was experiencing, just having too
28
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:10,240
much fun actually. I didn't share them with anyone. I was much, much older. So nobody around me
29
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:16,240
said, "Oh, that's nonsense. Oh, that's just imagination." So I just carried on with this
30
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,600
noetic, super normal walking between world's experiences, which has been a lifetime.
31
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:31,680
Every day still. So that really was my, my both my, my, my, by beginning and my journey and my
32
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:39,360
ongoing exploration. So in a way, I'm so grateful for that because I grew up the daughter,
33
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:46,480
grand daughter, coal miners in the north of England. So very sort of modest upbringing,
34
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,640
very practical upbringing. Here as I, not telling many folks about it, but heading off into the stars
35
00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:01,200
and beyond. But what it did was it also, the curiosity was about, well, how was when I was
36
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:10,000
experiencing bridging to this world and what I was being taught at school. And actually, what I was
37
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,160
being taught at school was the paradigm of a world of materialism and separation, very practical,
38
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:24,240
very mechanistic. And even when I went to university at Oxford and study quantum physics and relativity
39
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,080
physics and cosmology, they were giving deep clues into what I'd been experiencing from childhood.
40
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:39,760
But do you know, for me, the most comforting, validating sources were the ancient traditions,
41
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:45,920
the universal wisdom traditions, and especially that of ancient India, the Vedic tradition of ancient
42
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:52,400
India, because that was saying I was reading from a very early age that mind and consciousness aren't
43
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:58,160
something we have, then what we and the whole world are, that is in the Upanishads, that is in the
44
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:07,120
the vision of Ayurveda, and I said, yes, this is how I'm experiencing the world. So that really gave me,
45
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:14,240
I think, the sort of the vote to keep on going. And so the whole journey has been that continuation
46
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:21,600
of exploration. And now, as you say, I think we are in this pivotal threshold moment where we have
47
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,760
so much evidence that's coming forward that's converging with universal wisdom teachings and
48
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:34,880
indigenous traditions to literally turn the old paradigm of materialism and separation on its head.
49
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,680
I absolutely love that. Thank you so much for sharing. And that is the mission of the quantum
50
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:48,560
theory podcast to converge science and spirituality in those Eastern wisdom traditions. And I love
51
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,840
everything about what you just said. And it's interesting, I feel that these thinkers, such as yourself,
52
00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:00,480
who have kind of gone down this road, have a foundation of experience. If you're familiar with
53
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:07,840
Federico Fajin, his story is now pretty prominent. Okay, yes. So I feel as though there are these,
54
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:15,280
there's sort of a foundation of first hand experience that gives sort of the direct,
55
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,400
I guess, window into that world. And then you can then start connecting the dots into the actual
56
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:28,560
science that's now emerging. And so I'd love just to kind of set the stage here because you mentioned it,
57
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:36,000
the really where we are with the divide of materialism and more of the oneness type of perspective,
58
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,320
cosmic mind, consciousness being fundamental even theories like idealism and things of the sort.
59
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:47,520
Where are we right now? And what is the key divide between these two worlds?
60
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:54,640
Well, I think first of all, there are a lot of scientists who of course were trained in a paradigm
61
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,840
of which is actually a mechanistic paradigm that goes back to mid-19th century,
62
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:07,520
before quantum physics, before relativity physics. But that paradigm was not just powerful in a
63
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,920
scientific perspective, it was very powerful because it drove the industrial revolution. So all that's
64
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:20,640
come forward really since then in terms of the way we educate our children, the way we govern
65
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:28,960
ourselves, structures, organisations, they're all really based on this mechanistic worldview.
66
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:35,680
And of course, it's a worldview that is essentially meaningless and purposeless. And you know,
67
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,680
where consciousness was always a great mystery, but was always assumed to be just human consciousness,
68
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:50,000
or a bit more beyond that, and somehow emerged through random accidental evolutionary processes.
69
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,800
So that's really what you and I would have inherited at school, certainly me,
70
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:03,760
and those of my age, that's what we were taught at school. And the point is that even the breakthroughs
71
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:12,160
of quantum physics and relativity physics, they gave us the clues, they gave us profound clues
72
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:18,240
that the world is not made of separate stuff, that it is about profound interrelatedness,
73
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:25,440
and to work at all, as you probably aware, quantum physics requires the entire universe
74
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:35,600
to be non-locally unified. And you're almost certainly aware too, that for decades in the late 1980s
75
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:45,360
and through into the 2018, it was finally able to experimentally show by entangling photons of light
76
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:53,200
in a lab with starlight from 600 light years away, and a whole cascade of entanglement triggered by
77
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,800
light from a quasar, a very active, galactic center, 12.2 billion light years away.
78
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:06,480
In 2018, that took this experimentally to cosmological levels, and that was so compelling
79
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:13,520
that in 2022, the Nobel Prize of Physics was given for universal non-locality, in other words,
80
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:21,360
a unitive universe. And you know, Einstein didn't get the Nobel Prize relativity, because it was seen
81
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,360
as being too contentious. He actually got it for the photoelectric effect. So what this is showing,
82
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:35,360
that this is settled science. Now alongside all of this, over the last sort of 20 years, perhaps
83
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,600
a little more, but certainly in the last few years, we've had more and more and more evidence
84
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:48,240
at all scales of existence across numerous fields of research that are all showing the same thing,
85
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:56,160
that our universe essentially meaningfully exists, and purposefully evolves, as a non-local
86
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:02,800
unitive entity. What is really important, I think, the scientist to have been struggling with this,
87
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,240
because I think most cosmologists are sort of pretty much over the bridge now, because they realize
88
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:14,880
that we cannot understand the appearance of our universe, its energy matter, and space time.
89
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:21,040
From that level, we have to go deeper. So just as science has always done, we've
90
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:28,080
it includes and transcends. Just as quantum physics did to Newtonian physics and relativity
91
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,520
physics did, it included and transcended. We're now in a place of inclusion and transcendence,
92
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:40,240
but we can only do that by realizing that mind and consciousness, like the Vedic tradition
93
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:46,000
showed us, aren't something we have, than what we in the whole world are. So we're now at this point,
94
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:54,320
where we can expand our perception in an incredible way that goes way beyond science,
95
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,120
and it's still accessible to science, because the reason we're able to go to this place,
96
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:06,000
and I could write the cosmic hologram, is that all the evidence was showing that if we look deeper,
97
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,560
beneath the appearance of our universe, we start getting answers to how that appearance comes about,
98
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:20,160
but for me more importantly, and going back to my lifelong journey, we also have a deeper understanding
99
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:28,000
of why our universe is, as it is. Well, that was profound, and thank you so much for sharing that.
100
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:35,920
I think that's a great segue into a bit more of the meeting potatoes here of the mechanism
101
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:42,560
and jumping into some of these different aspects of your work that you pointed out. One of the things
102
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:47,040
is speaking of entanglement, and I think there's a big bridge when we're talking about,
103
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:53,840
number one is going to be wave function collapse, and then we have, as you said, really coming to
104
00:11:53,840 --> 00:12:00,080
grips with what entanglement means. We can measure it, we can understand it, we can give a Nobel prize,
105
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,640
but then there's that next step of, okay, so what does this actually implicate here?
106
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,280
I think what's really interesting as you pointed out is it works on macroscopic scales.
107
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:15,040
We have, I think, things as large as diamond studs that we are able to actually entangle.
108
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,680
So, what are the implications of entanglement on a macroscopic scale?
109
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:25,840
Okay, well, absolutely. I mean, certainly at the level of organic molecules, we can entangle those
110
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:32,000
now, but the experiment that I mentioned in 2018 was only entangling photons, but it was doing it
111
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:39,440
at cosmological scales. In other words, there was, there was sort of photons of light in laboratory
112
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:45,920
that were then entangled with starlight coming down a telescope, but emanated 600 light years away,
113
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,760
but the whole, what's called a cascade of entanglement, which far surpasses something called the
114
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:59,120
Bell's limit, and the Bell's theorem was way back a recognition of the need for universal
115
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:06,800
eye-hold universe needed to be entangled for quantum mechanics to work at all, because that cascade,
116
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:16,160
which passed all of the thresholds, was triggered by light from a quasar 12.2 billion light years ago.
117
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:24,560
That was so beyond any dispute that, you know, what we're talking about is universal,
118
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:31,520
non-locality is universal entanglement. The issue was for a long time, the fact that it seemed to
119
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:40,160
be odds with what relativity was saying. And we can understand now that it's the both and, but we can
120
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:47,600
only do that by bringing in recent understanding about what we'll continue to talk about, I'm sure,
121
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,600
the holographic principle and other aspects of this whole model that we can realise it's the both
122
00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:03,280
and. So that our universe exists and evolves as a unitive as a non-local, the whole entity.
123
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:12,640
So it knows itself. It has spontaneous, not knowingness of its entirety in every moment from its
124
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:20,560
beginning, 13.8 billion years ago, as space has expanded ever since and as times flowed forward ever since,
125
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:28,480
it knows itself in its wholeness. And yet within space time, there is a cosmic speed limit,
126
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,760
which is a speed of light. And that has to be the case, otherwise, first of all, there wouldn't be
127
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:40,480
that flow of time. Secondly, there wouldn't be the causality that enables our universe to evolve.
128
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:46,240
And so thirdly, we wouldn't be having this conversation. And there's a lot of reasons why the laws
129
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:52,800
of physics require this. But this was the big issue because Einstein was very unhappy with the idea
130
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:59,280
of universal entanglement, he called it spooky action at a distance. He realised that there was a limit,
131
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:07,840
a finite limit to signals within space time. What he wasn't able to understand and know with the
132
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:16,160
quantum physicists of those times that it's a both and the wholeness of the universe and yet within it
133
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:24,400
learns about itself because of that innate flow of time, a causality that is
134
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:33,360
journeying through its entire evolutionary journey. Absolutely. And I would curious as well as a
135
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:40,080
more targeted question to because if we have entanglement at macroscopic scales and that's been
136
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,760
empirically shown, how can we also simultaneously not have information transfer faster than the speed
137
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:53,520
of light? It's really you need the holographic principle to start to understand that. And the holographic
138
00:15:53,520 --> 00:16:02,320
principle came about from studies on black holes. And the question was at the end of a massive star's
139
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:09,440
life when it's run out of its nuclear fuel, which was actually stabilising it, its outward pressure
140
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:15,280
was stabilising it when that fuels used up the star collapses. Now if you're a small,
141
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:21,760
medium sized star, you just keep on going to be a white dwarf or whatever. But if you're a massive
142
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:29,840
star, then the forces are too strong, the gravitational collapses too strong to stop it. So the star
143
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:36,000
collapses and it does so three-dimensionally, it does so spherically. So spherical start begin with,
144
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:43,920
it falls in on itself, but a point comes where it passes a threshold, where not even light can
145
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:49,280
escape and so it becomes what's called a black hole. Now the question then is what about all the
146
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:54,560
information that was telling the story of that star, where does that go? Because if it disappears,
147
00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:02,400
then quantum mechanics is out the window. It doesn't work, it just out the window. So there was a big
148
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:10,160
who are about well what does happen and it was discovered that the information is actually held on
149
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:18,400
that event horizon. Now this is where it gets a lot of fun because you'd think that all the
150
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:25,920
information of that three-dimensional spherical star would be proportional to its volume. So the
151
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:32,880
volume of the black hole would actually measure of the information that's retained, but it's not.
152
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:39,920
It's proportional to the surface area of that star, which is the spherical event horizon.
153
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:45,760
Now when that was realised and there's a measure of that called the Beckenstein bound and all
154
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:53,360
sorts of stuff, when that was realised there was an a-ha moment because that's what a hologram does
155
00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:01,040
when you shine a beam of light at an object, a 3D object, well you split the beam and part of that beam
156
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:07,680
then reflects back off of that object, it brings back the 3D info of that object. When it's mixed with
157
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:15,680
the beam of the original beam of light, it then forms a two-dimensional patterning of that information
158
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,920
and then when you shine another beam of light through it, it projects a hologram, which is the three
159
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:29,680
dimensional appearance of that original object. Cosmologists realised we could expand and there
160
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,560
are lots of other reasons for saying this is heading in the right direction. We can expand that
161
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:42,160
understanding to a holographic principle, which is a universal principle, that our entire universe,
162
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:50,640
the appearance of our entire universe is a holographic projection from the boundary of what we call
163
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:58,960
space and time. So here we are, a universe that begins in its most minute form nearly 14 billion years ago,
164
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:07,920
as simple as it could be but no simpler, and then a space has expanded ever since and times flowed
165
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:15,360
forward and we can talk about how that happens, but basically there's more and more and more and more
166
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:24,240
information able to be expressed within what we call space time and manifested as what we call energy
167
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:32,000
matter. There are multiple directions I would love to take and several different questions pop
168
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,520
it up in my head, but I think the first one I feel that everyone probably will ask is how do we make
169
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:45,040
sense of physicality, given that we are in a holographic universe where information is fundamental
170
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:52,400
as you pause it. What's the translation from information into physical reality, quote-unquote,
171
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:59,920
in asterisk? I recall as well you mentioning that information is material and energy matter
172
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:07,360
is immaterial if I have that correct. It's more than it's both and our definition of materiality,
173
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:13,680
of course, as you say, is being based on what's physical. When we're sitting in our chairs, we're not
174
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:21,120
falling through our chairs, occasionally I do. I'm really good at falling off chairs.
175
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:33,040
What I would say is our universe, its manifestation, is real. That is real. But when we talk about
176
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:40,400
physicality, we're talking about solidity. That's our perception of physicality. We're solid. I can
177
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:46,800
do this and this and all the rest of it. When we go smaller and smaller and smaller, we've realised
178
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:54,160
a long time ago that atoms are the sort of little billiard balls of electrons and new trans and
179
00:20:54,160 --> 00:21:01,680
protons and beneath that quarks. What they are are relationships of fields, quantum fields,
180
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:08,720
and we're now restating those quantum fields in informational terms. But the reason that reality
181
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:19,600
appears solid is that part of quantum mechanics is that those individual, so standing waves of
182
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:28,080
those interactions cannot occupy the same quantum state at the same time. And so when we have
183
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:35,440
electrons, they can't occupy the same state at the same time. So there's appearance of separation.
184
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:44,960
Add it to which the electrons that whizz around the nuclei of atoms or the interactions and
185
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:53,280
the relationships that we perceive in that way have the same charge and the laws of electromagnetism
186
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:58,160
say that like charges repel. So we have two aspects. We have what's called the Fermi Exclusion
187
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:06,720
Principle, which says that quantum entities, certainly those that make up atoms, there are other types
188
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:15,040
that can occupy the same quantum states. Those that make up what we call normal matter can't occupy
189
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:21,680
the same quantum states at the same time. That's why we get the appearance of separation of physicality.
190
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:28,800
And I'm not for a moment saying that because our universe is a cosmic hologram that it's no
191
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:38,800
less real, it's just the way in which universal genius cosmic mind can create such a universe.
192
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:45,680
So in essence, I would or you would say that it has to do largely or mostly with the
193
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,000
these it was poly exclusion principle or with with sorry, I do apologize. It was the
194
00:22:50,000 --> 00:23:04,720
poly exclusion principle. I've had a long day. I polish. I don't mean to correct you. I'm just
195
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:19,840
talking about the same thing. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. That's a personal shock for myself.
196
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:20,640
So really we're really just physically repelling because we can't occupy the same state. It's more of an
197
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:28,480
electromagnetism if you will. It's about it's about and because obviously like charges also repels.
198
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:38,240
All the laws of physics are just so exquisitely relational and perfect to actually enable a universe
199
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:46,480
of quantized energy matter. And I would say non-quantized but in tropic space time that both are needed
200
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:55,680
and all the laws are needed to enable our universe to meaningful exist and purposefully evolve.
201
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:04,160
Sure. So I think this is a good segue to into the big one which is wave function collapse because we have
202
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:12,240
objective collapse. We have pilot wave theory. We have quantum Bayesianism. We have the
203
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:19,440
traditional Copenhagen interpretation. So I would love to kind of dive in there in informational
204
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:26,560
terms and holographic terms. How do you perceive wave function collapse? Is there a thing out there
205
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,760
and as you mentioned does the tree fall? It doesn't make a sound if no one there is there to hear it?
206
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:37,440
Type of thought process. What's your general perspective in this framework on wave function collapse?
207
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,400
Well what I would say is a go back to that analogy of if a tree falls in a forest and there's nobody
208
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:50,560
there to see it does it actually fall. I would invite us to consider our entire universe is both the
209
00:24:50,560 --> 00:25:00,240
observer and the observed that our entire universe is essentially a friend of my as a guy called
210
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:07,360
Max Velmann. He calls it reflective monism. So in other words the entire universe is aware of all
211
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:15,200
that is happening at all times and then the individuated self-awareness that includes us is aware
212
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:21,280
of different aspects of that and yet we are part of we are microcosmic co-creators of the entire
213
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:31,360
universe. So that's also why we are naturally enabled with noetic phenomena, noetic experiences
214
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:39,200
because we are like cells in our universe as body. So when our universe which which continually
215
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:46,160
exists and evolves as a unit of entity the wave forms is its potentiality.
216
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:53,920
The wave form collapse which occurs at all scales not just you know minute scales not just it
217
00:25:53,920 --> 00:26:02,320
is an ongoing Planck scale upwards phenomena that actually is the entire universe
218
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:11,840
existing in its in its existential entirety. So there's no there's no sort of separate
219
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:20,400
wave form there's differentiated there's differentiated wave form collapse as part of a whole sort of
220
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:29,920
bow wave of the universe's ongoing progression from past into the present and potentizing the future.
221
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:36,880
You know when you've seen a ship go across a lake there's a bow wave in front of it that's the best
222
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:42,800
understanding I think we have at the moment that there is that potentizing that plays out at all scales
223
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:51,280
within the wholeness of that universal progression that then comes into the particularization
224
00:26:51,280 --> 00:27:02,000
of the here and the now. So it's in the bow wave analogy is it something to where we it's sort of
225
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:09,440
a universal phenomena that is sort of collapsing reality as we know it or do we have some level of
226
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:16,080
entanglement with that whatever what what is a measurement you know what what is this process of going
227
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:24,080
from infinite possibilities to quantization. Well first of all there's no infinities within space time.
228
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:31,840
Our universe itself is finite it began to find out time ago there is no manifestation
229
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:38,560
within space time that is infinite I mean that if you remember was what opened the door to quantum
230
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:46,560
physics because the 19th century view of electromagnetism on a black body radiator would actually
231
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:54,400
have infinite wavelengths. And clearly that's not the case. And that would lead to the the quantization
232
00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:01,680
of energy matter that then you know realize that there was finiteness everything we actually see
233
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:09,040
a measure within space time is essentially finite. But what we're saying is with the hologram before
234
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:16,160
that fine find outness comes into its manifested form which it does so in each plank moment
235
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:22,880
from the beginning of our universe all the way through is like a shutter speed of our universe
236
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:31,520
and it's a shutter speed of 10 to the minus 44 seconds extraordinary. But it together with
237
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:40,400
the expansion of space and the Planck scale pixelation of information which itself is minute at minus
238
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:51,040
35 meters 10 to the minus 35 meters what you get is this potentiality to then manifest in the
239
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:59,360
appearance of what we call our universe but it does so finitely and the measuring point is how we
240
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:08,960
measure and that's in a sense it's not a paradox I talk about parallax because in in physics as you
241
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:16,720
know parallax is looking at things from a different perspective. So if we look at a particular experiment
242
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:22,160
and measure it from a particular point of parallax we'll get a particle if we measure it from a
243
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:28,960
different perspective and parallax will get away potentially but it's both and because ultimately
244
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:36,880
the universe is both and. One last question I have on this topic before I'm
245
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,120
transitioned to others just to make the best use of your time here because there's so much I want
246
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:46,560
to cover in this time here but the last thing is I was personally curious what is the key
247
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:53,520
difference between pixelation and quantization because I recall you mentioning yeah go ahead yeah yeah
248
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:59,600
well pixelation I mean the screen that we're you know conversing through is pixelated it's high
249
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:08,080
definition pixelation okay but nonetheless that the screen has has tiny sort of little areas with
250
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:14,800
different information within it that makes up the photo of of us yeah that's pixelation.
251
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:23,760
Quantization is where there's a quantum is is packet so within energy matter all energy matter
252
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:29,600
is quantized in other words it occurs as packets of information rather that notes of music rather
253
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:38,080
the continuous continuation it's literally quantized in packets and that is why and how
254
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:46,320
you know the materiality of our universe can express itself yeah and it does so very beautifully because
255
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:55,440
of that so the pixelation of the entirety of the appearance of our universe is pixelated at the
256
00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:04,160
Planck scale and when we scale that pixelation is all the information of our universe and it's
257
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:11,200
expressed in complementary ways as quantized energy matter but it's also expressed as this ongoing
258
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:19,680
journey of space and time hence the whole evolutionary story and space time I would argue is not
259
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:29,120
quantized but all of the appearance comes from this tiny minute pixelation of all the meaningful
260
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:36,160
information that expresses itself in our universe and that pixelation if we look at our high definition
261
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:46,000
that pixelation scale is trillions of trillions trillions times smaller than our best HD technology
262
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:52,720
at the moment it's as literally as small as to an atom as an atomist of the whole universe so the way
263
00:31:52,720 --> 00:32:01,680
our universe exists and evolves it requires these different yet complementary ways of expressing
264
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:10,320
its universal information as quantized energy matter which enables our universe to exist
265
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:18,080
and express itself and it's conserved and it changes but it can't be created or destroyed so
266
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:28,880
it just changes and then is as what I call intropic space time whereas space expands and as time
267
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:35,840
is flowed from the beginning what I call entropy which is the informational content of our universe
268
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:45,200
always increases that enables our universe to evolve so quantized energy matter and intropic
269
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:54,160
space time are complementary they come together to enable our universe both to exist and to evolve you
270
00:32:54,160 --> 00:33:05,200
need both. That's a wonderful bridge into time so I'd love to just kind of open the can on this one
271
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:11,040
about really the paradigm shift of seeing reality number one as finite potentially even
272
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:18,320
toroidal which is not an aspect of what you mentioned but as this perhaps information bubble that
273
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:23,520
that through experience and through its evolution which we are in and also co-creating
274
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:31,360
the flow of time itself is literally the entropy of information all the way back from the big breath
275
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:37,120
and I'd love for you to just kind of lay some fundamentals for you know what is time
276
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,840
well thank I think you've expressed it beautifully Jared when we go back to the beginning of our
277
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:50,720
universe which is finite time ago it came into being at its at its smallest state but also its
278
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:59,760
simplest state now the second law of thermodynamics says that the going back to 19th century that the
279
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:08,000
entropy which is the energetic micro states of a a container system can only increase through time
280
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:15,600
okay so if we go back to the beginning of our universe it was at its lowest entropy so time could
281
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:21,920
only go one way from that beginning and that way is from the past all the way through to the present
282
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:28,080
and then to unfold into the future but what I've done is I've expanded those three laws and there are
283
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:35,680
three laws of thermodynamics to three laws of information or info dynamics and when we do that we
284
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:43,600
realise why we need three laws and we also realise that if the first law which in that thermodynamics
285
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:50,240
talks about the energy of a container system can change through time but it can't be created or
286
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:58,000
destroyed apply that to our universe it applies to the quantized energy matter which says the
287
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,280
information expressed as quantized energy matter can only change through this whole process it
288
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:10,400
can't be created and destroyed enabling our universe to exist but then you get to time and you get
289
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:18,000
to the second law and you get to expanding entropy and the second law of thermodynamics was all
290
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:24,400
about in 19th century about entropy it said that the entropy of a container system can only increase
291
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:31,520
through time so to talk about our universe entropy is about energetic micro states but going back to
292
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:41,840
a point you made earlier information is as physical as energy and we can expand as we've done the
293
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:48,720
first law into information as energy matter but we can expand energetic micro states to
294
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:56,000
information content and it's the same equation it's the same Boltzmann's equation so what we can say
295
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:05,360
is the entropy i-entropy information content of our universe began at its lowest level so as time
296
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:13,840
is vote forward and a space is expanded ever since that information that entropy has increased and
297
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:19,600
that enables with that flow of time in the expansion of space for the holographic
298
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:28,320
nature of our universe to manifest more and more experience and i'll just because for me it's a
299
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:36,960
cherry on top of the icing on top of the cake the third law the third law of thermodynamics says
300
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:44,560
that the temperature of a container system like our universe is inversely proportional to its
301
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:52,000
entropy so i would say inversely proportional to its entropy our universe came into being
302
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:02,640
in its lowest entropy its lowest entropy its highest temperature so space has expanded ever since
303
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:11,200
temperatures dropped as time floats forward ever since entropy has increased so it's as beautiful
304
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:20,560
reciprocosity that really has driven the universal life cycle and now we're you know it began at 10
305
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:28,160
to the 32 degrees Kelvin we're now at 2.7 three degrees Kelvin i would suggest that that means we're
306
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:33,840
closer to the end of this thought bubble i love what you how you described it this thought bubble
307
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:40,800
of our universe um you know to its completion and i also love that you refer to the big breath because
308
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:46,560
our universe did not begin in the chaos or the implied chaos that we were taught was the big bang
309
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:53,760
we know it wasn't big but it wasn't chaotic it wasn't a bang and you refer to it and i call it to
310
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:59,200
the first moment an ongoing big breath exquisite fine tune wonderfully ordered
311
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:10,640
purposeful meaningful that's so beautiful and i i'm curious if i i feel like this is something that
312
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:16,720
that you pause it as well in the book it is our universe our finite universe one thought bubble
313
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:22,560
in an infinite plenium of thought bubbles it where it completes the temperature drops the
314
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:29,920
the entropy is maximized of information there's there's no further complexity to be had
315
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:35,280
and and then from there it is perhaps you know released into the cosmic plenium is this
316
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:42,880
is this what you'd perceive the process is on the highest level yeah i do i do and and then you ask
317
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:50,480
well where did the baby universe has come from right and one of the the the the the i believe is
318
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:57,120
that the most intriguing suggestions with this is an extension to general relativity which is called
319
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:07,120
ecks which stands for Einstein carton kibble shama extension and denny shama who was
320
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:16,960
Stephen Hawking's mentor for his PhD was my mentor at Oxford oh wow and denny's love mavericks
321
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:27,200
i hope you're very proud of me by now um but it's an extension whereby it's very very complex
322
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:35,920
but in in really extreme cases at the very heart of black holes and possibly over and even
323
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:41,440
supermassive black holes there's an extension to general relativity which has a
324
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:50,000
terrible effect it's like a screwing effect and it may be that that is the origin of baby universes
325
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:57,760
that bring with them some of the past story some of the this because our universe is so exquisitely
326
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:05,360
fine tuned it does suggest it's not the first it's not its first radeo as our american friends say
327
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:14,080
but there is a sense of of heritage and almost like a reincarnation of complex a potential for greater
328
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:20,400
complexity that we could actually consider the possibility of being on on universal scales
329
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:28,000
even like cosmic epigenetics if you will yeah because i love that cosmic epigenetics and you know
330
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,640
my my follow on book from the cosmic hologram was this was the story of gaiya and that really
331
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:42,400
tells this story the whole evolutionary story of ours and and our story is a story of our universe
332
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:52,080
so you know that story i i feel is so empowering because we can read where people who i hope read the
333
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:58,880
cut read you know the story of gaiya really feel come to feel that we belong this is we belong here
334
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:07,440
we have meaning of purpose i was profoundly shifted by that section of of at least the cosmic hologram
335
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:15,280
with the fine tuning i mean talk about mind blowing the different uh principles and and like the
336
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:22,880
different forces that are so unbelievably fine tuned to allow even different elements to emerge and
337
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:29,760
and i'd love for you to sit touch on just the the sheer fine tuning of the reality in which we
338
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:36,560
live in the the utter impossibility of of randomness of of of what the beauty of this cosmos is
339
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:44,640
absolutely well you know there are various measures of this there are there around six fundamental
340
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:51,920
universal constants a martin reese who has um has done a book on this called six numbers basically
341
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:59,040
but when you look at those and and see what would be different if any of them were as tiny
342
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:06,480
stage different from what they actually are and it works out something like one intent to the 27
343
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:12,160
i think Lee Smolian came up with that figure but it's a thousand trillion trillion times one two
344
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:19,360
a thousand trillion i mean it as you say it it is my problem but but when you look at the laws of physics
345
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:24,560
i mean if you don't understand that mind and consciousness are what we have they're literally
346
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:31,280
what we in the whole world are quanta physics is a mystery but when you do understand that it's a way
347
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:38,640
in which the potentiality of consciousness can express itself and manifest itself it is very
348
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:45,600
straightforward and what we find as well in the basic laws of physics they are incredibly simple
349
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:58,880
e equals mc squared e equals h new you know um gravity f equals gm1m2 over r squared these are not
350
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:07,120
wrath of equations they're very incredibly simple on the reason that they are so simple able to
351
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:15,120
be so simple is because that exquisite fine tuning you know with electromagnetism we've now
352
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:22,960
measured space to be pretty it has to be flat because first of all otherwise electron magnetism
353
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:29,200
could not work in its orthogonality in other words a magnetic field goes one way the electromagnetic
354
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:35,600
field is 90 degrees to it and the light goes 90 degrees to that exactly not a bit of a fudge
355
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:45,040
when we are taught geometry at school we learn Pythagoras we learn about triangle
356
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:50,640
and we learn about the 180 degrees and we learn about you know the relationships between the
357
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:59,040
sides of triangles there's a very straightforward way of taking you you know that that space
358
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:06,480
euclidean space of a triangle with 180 degrees which is on flat paper because if we curve the paper
359
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:12,960
a triangle has more or less than 180 degrees but on flat paper a triangle has eternal angles
360
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:20,000
the total 180 degrees there's a way of moving that into what's called Hilbert space which is a sort
361
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:26,400
of slightly more sophisticated way of working with space to understand the relationships of energy
362
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:34,960
matter and you can go from Pythagoras to Einstein equals mc squared e equals mc squared only
363
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:42,880
if space is flat only if space is flat and the final thing and this is the big give away as
364
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:48,880
well is throughout quantum mechanics and also relativity but quantum mechanics is the biggie
365
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:58,240
Schrodinger wave equation and all of the equations are pervaded by and holographic
366
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:05,280
principle is pervaded by something called i the square root of minus one and that we're realizing
367
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:13,920
there's not just a mathematical nicety it really is the foundation between the appearance of what we
368
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:21,600
call our universe and it's underlying causation it's causing they literally it arises from what some
369
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:29,520
folks call phase space but that is that non yet manifest you're talking earlier not yet manifest
370
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:39,440
realms of causation that then come into the manifest universe and so i the square root of minus one
371
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:49,120
is that sort of mathematical mode by which that transfer that that progression from what we
372
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:54,720
might call immaterial to material actually takes place so all of these hand together beautifully
373
00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:04,960
but only if you know if they share all of these features wow and that's a perfect segue to the idea
374
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:11,680
fractals which i have been very excited to talk about but in terms of the in terms of the the complex
375
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:17,440
plane and you pointed out the Schrodinger wave function should go on infinitely but we know the
376
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:22,720
universe is finite also from looking at the cosmic microwave background there is a limit on on the
377
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:28,560
wavelengths as you pointed out absolutely no there there is a finiteness to it but yet obviously
378
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:34,000
that's not what we experience in finite reality so there's that there's that translation from the
379
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:40,640
complex you know as you said the potentiality the immaterial or super physical to the you know
380
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:47,760
physical always an asterisk but exactly and that yeah ultimately the infinite is an eternal cosmic
381
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:55,280
plenum to that finiteness of this thought bubble we call our universe i love that and and so
382
00:46:55,280 --> 00:47:04,400
when it comes to fractals one thing i was wondering about is the law of attraction because as you
383
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:10,720
talk about fractal attractors and and and even pre cognition and super normal phenomena
384
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:16,720
of sort of being able to non locally perceive information as it's sort of crystallizing perhaps
385
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:23,920
in the complex plane you know before it becomes an act potentializes into physical reality do you
386
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:29,360
do you think there's any connection there between the law of attraction and and kind of what you
387
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:36,480
put out and how you're able to actually crystallize and potentiate into reality i would and i wouldn't
388
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:42,640
sort of oversell it either i mean the laws of physics are the laws of physics i might have the
389
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:48,240
intention that i'm going to become the hang gliding champion of the world it ain't going to happen
390
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:57,360
Jared i have to tell you this but yes indeed because we are microcosmic co-creators of the macrophosmic
391
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:05,760
sentence of our universe and therefore we do have naturally natural attributes of of awareness
392
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:11,920
that are non local in in that regard but just to go back to your point on fractals for those folks
393
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:16,320
who are listening to us and aren't sure what a fractal is it's basically a relationship
394
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:25,280
and in the ancient Greek geometers were were wonderful in the fact they had something to write with
395
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:31,760
and something to create a straight line with and they included profound truths about the innate
396
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:39,280
relationships of our world and so when we look at the platonic solids and when we look that they're
397
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:47,200
essentially idealized fractals and fractals are realistic platonic solids in that regard in other
398
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:53,120
words when we look at a cloud we're not seeing a triangle but if we actually analyze the outline of a cloud
399
00:48:53,120 --> 00:49:00,640
you know it we can actually subdivide triangles into more and more and more and more and more detail
400
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:06,720
and and they are fractals or we can take fractals to their end point idealism and we end up with
401
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:12,080
with a triangle I mean that's very straightforward but what it's showing is that the entire to our
402
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:18,800
universe plays out through innately through relationships and interdependent relationships and the
403
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:25,840
point about a fractal just as it does for a triangle it scales up and it scales down so when we
404
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:34,240
when we when we look at the evidence of the cosmic hologram we see it all scales of existence because
405
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:42,640
we're seeing fractals at all scales of existence when a metal atom is moving to become an insulator
406
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:50,080
vice versa it's electrons cluster fractally we can see fractals all the way up to planetary systems
407
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:56,880
we see them in the solar wind and and and planetary orbits we see them galactically we see the same
408
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:02,320
fractal relationships as you mentioned in the cosmic microwave background in the temperature
409
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:07,760
differences there so we're seeing them all the way up and all the way down and they are indicative
410
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:17,040
also of of Fourier transforms and Fourier transforms are a mathematical bridge that actually
411
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:25,280
underpins the holographic technologies so we're seeing so many things pointing in the same direction
412
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:33,040
and across numerous fields of research so underlying complex systems whether it be the an ecosystem
413
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:40,560
or the internet are the same fractal patterns we're seeing the same power law relationships between
414
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:48,880
frequencies of phenomena and and their scale that we do earthquakes and conflicts and human conflicts
415
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:56,960
so what we're seeing throughout not just natural systems but human choices collective human
416
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:04,400
choice and behaviors is this underlying causation and the all pervasiveness of consciousness
417
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:11,760
so going back to the law of attraction we're essentially playing out conflicts in the world
418
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:19,040
because we have a world of your separation collectively we have a dis-ease of separation
419
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:25,760
we can create if we've got a tractor pattern and the laws of attraction in that sense
420
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:33,280
or we're behaving in conflictual ways in in equitable ways we can create a tractor pattern
421
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,360
for love and a tractor pattern for peace
422
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:48,960
so that for me is our choice now do we stay in this old world of your separation
423
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:55,920
a fully-to-fear or do we as I truly believe we have the capacity to and the invitation from the
424
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:07,120
universe to literally paint a love and undertake a conscious evolution that I feel is our opportunity
425
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:11,200
our invitation and the reason we're here
426
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:20,320
absolutely and and people just like you are providing the evidence so we can all really see I think
427
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:25,760
through the rational mind I think is really the key I think that's what's going to make this so
428
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:31,920
accessible is even talking about fractals I mean that's a slam dunk to holographic principle I mean
429
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:37,680
it's self-similar I mean the hole is contained in the part and the the the the the fractality of
430
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:44,080
reality is so obvious just from the evidence that you've put forward alone and I had one other
431
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:51,280
question to follow that up here is you know what does this say about free will and more specifically
432
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:59,920
with Benford's law and Zipz Zipz law where we have fractal patterns for I wrote a few things here
433
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:08,000
such as Twitter users to follow a ratio street addresses corporate sales versus costs stock prices
434
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:16,080
population densities galaxy formations and even to the words we say follow these numerical patterns
435
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:23,760
and it it almost feels like one big mind like playing itself out but you know what does that say
436
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:30,320
about free will fits that codeable our behavior through the internet through stock markets whatever it
437
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:36,640
might be you know what what is that indicate about our individual choice I I'm a I'm a it's
438
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:42,800
interesting I'm a both-and person whenever it's an either raw choice I go what am I missing here
439
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:48,560
and just as now we can say that you know relativity physics and quantum physics a complementary
440
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:56,720
energy match and space time a conflict we need both and I would say that collectively all our choices
441
00:53:56,720 --> 00:54:02,880
together form Zipz law they form all of the the the the the phenomena that you identified
442
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:10,000
but the entirety of our universe the holds and this is the beauty of it is each is also playing
443
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:18,160
out through each of us and so in that sense I do fit my view is that we do have free will but not in
444
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:27,920
the complete sense of being separable we are inseparable and yet we are unique expressions
445
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:37,040
and we are self-aware individuated microcosmic co-creators yeah but when we come together
446
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:42,480
then that totality because we're working at so many levels of consciousness Jared
447
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:49,440
and when we talk about free will it's not just the level that we're aware of it's that subliminal level
448
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:56,720
so a lot of our choices are also that subliminal level and I think it's primarily those choices
449
00:54:56,720 --> 00:55:04,480
that we can we can see playing out in these collectives so I think it's a both-and the question I would
450
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:11,040
say is a question I would ask is what are we choosing at the moment are we choosing fear or are we
451
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:20,480
choosing love and I would suggest that we have a free will choice in that regard and on a personal
452
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:29,520
level I choose love I would also say that the evidence we have because of its wholeness and its
453
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:36,640
inseparability and yet its differentiation and its meaning existential meaning and evolution
454
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:43,120
purpose is I describe our universe not just as a living universe but as a loving universe
455
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:52,320
I love that and I think that's that's a lovely way to conclude our conversation and before we do so
456
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:57,760
because I know we're coming up on time here is I would love to give the audience just a couple
457
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,400
minutes here if you want to share where they can find you such as maybe a couple of your books
458
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,160
maybe if you have a website you want to share and I'll drop everything in the description as well
459
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:12,800
oh that's so kind of you I think the easiest thing is just to offer a website which is www
460
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:25,120
whole whle world wrld hyphen-viewvew.org and on that we've got links to my books we've got lots and
461
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:32,320
lots of free resources around everything and new latives science and all of this we've also got a
462
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:39,520
link to a recent film which is called a radical guy to reality which is 14 minutes long it's free
463
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:47,200
to view and free to share on youtube and it's in 19 languages at the moment from Arabic to Ukrainian
464
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:56,320
and we're just adding another one Bengali so and more so but you know and we also on the website
465
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:01,680
we have an education wraparound so glossary of terms and things like that and invited
466
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:09,680
experiences so there's a whole range to an invitation to cup home and come to this adventure
467
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:15,760
that's so amazing thank you so much dude for for all of your wisdom and your time today
468
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:22,000
it's been an absolute pleasure and maybe perhaps need a round two because I still have a lot of
469
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:28,800
questions but I would love round two I would love round two and maybe on round two we could talk about
470
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:34,640
the story of Gaia because when we talk about the evolutionary story I mean you talked about blowing
471
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:41,440
a mind my goodness me that takes it to a whole next level yes I would love to and talk about
472
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:49,040
pan spermia and all and all of that stuff so all of that stuff yes awesome jude we'll talk offline
473
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:53,600
about that I want to get you on to your next next meeting here but thank you so much again jude and
474
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:59,520
have a fantastic rest of your day oh bless you jara thank you so so much for there all right take

You'd think that all the information of that three-dimensional spherical star would be proportional to its volume,
2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:13,520
so the volume of the black hole, yeah, would actually a measure of the information that's retained,
3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:20,000
but it's not. It's proportional to the surface area of that star, which is the spherical
4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:35,920
event horizon. Now, when that was realized, there was an a-ha moment because that's what a hologram does.
5
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,880
Welcome to the Quantum Theory Podcast.
6
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:47,440
Thank you, Jude, so much for joining us today on the Quantum Theory Podcast. I am
7
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,840
elated to have you on and thrilled to dive into most notably your book, The Cosmic
8
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:01,200
hologram, and really the perspective shift paradigm shift, I would call it, that we as a species
9
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,720
are undergoing in the present day, and that I'm personally thrilled to be alive during and be a part
10
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:15,280
of, and I think you are truly one of the great minds of our day that is really making this tangible,
11
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:21,120
quantifiable and empirical through your studies and through the work that you've put down. Before we
12
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,480
hop too deep into things, I want to just really quickly just get some background on yourself for
13
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:32,960
the audience and kind of your origin story of how all of this started for you. I know you mentioned
14
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:39,520
some noetic experiences at a young age that kind of opened your mind to Indra's net and this idea
15
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,720
very, very early on, and so I'd love to give the audience a little background of kind of, you know,
16
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,240
who is Jude and how have you arrived to where you are now and you're in?
17
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,720
Well, Jarrod, thanks for that. And just to say it's been a very scenic route. It has not been a
18
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,560
linear journey by any stretch, and I'm very grateful for that because along the way I've sort of,
19
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:07,120
you know, been so, I'm curious. I mean, my mum used to say that curiosity was my middle name.
20
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:14,160
So from a very early age, I was just curious about the world around me. And as you mentioned,
21
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,680
at a very early age, I'm four years old, I began to have what you refer to as noetic
22
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,000
experiences, some might call them super normal experiences, but basically I was having out of body
23
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:33,600
experiences. I was hearing discontent voices in my inner hearing. I was seeing sort of auras. So,
24
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:43,200
the whole panoply arrayed before me of a world that were not what had appeared the folks around me
25
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:50,480
were experiencing. I didn't realise that to begin with. It was only over time that I sort of realised
26
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,240
that other folks weren't, didn't seem to be experienced this. And it wasn't because I was special.
27
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:02,960
It really wasn't. What I did realise is by not sharing what I was experiencing, just having too
28
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:10,240
much fun actually. I didn't share them with anyone. I was much, much older. So nobody around me
29
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:16,240
said, "Oh, that's nonsense. Oh, that's just imagination." So I just carried on with this
30
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,600
noetic, super normal walking between world's experiences, which has been a lifetime.
31
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:31,680
Every day still. So that really was my, my both my, my, my, by beginning and my journey and my
32
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:39,360
ongoing exploration. So in a way, I'm so grateful for that because I grew up the daughter,
33
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:46,480
grand daughter, coal miners in the north of England. So very sort of modest upbringing,
34
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,640
very practical upbringing. Here as I, not telling many folks about it, but heading off into the stars
35
00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:01,200
and beyond. But what it did was it also, the curiosity was about, well, how was when I was
36
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:10,000
experiencing bridging to this world and what I was being taught at school. And actually, what I was
37
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,160
being taught at school was the paradigm of a world of materialism and separation, very practical,
38
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:24,240
very mechanistic. And even when I went to university at Oxford and study quantum physics and relativity
39
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,080
physics and cosmology, they were giving deep clues into what I'd been experiencing from childhood.
40
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:39,760
But do you know, for me, the most comforting, validating sources were the ancient traditions,
41
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:45,920
the universal wisdom traditions, and especially that of ancient India, the Vedic tradition of ancient
42
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:52,400
India, because that was saying I was reading from a very early age that mind and consciousness aren't
43
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:58,160
something we have, then what we and the whole world are, that is in the Upanishads, that is in the
44
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:07,120
the vision of Ayurveda, and I said, yes, this is how I'm experiencing the world. So that really gave me,
45
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:14,240
I think, the sort of the vote to keep on going. And so the whole journey has been that continuation
46
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:21,600
of exploration. And now, as you say, I think we are in this pivotal threshold moment where we have
47
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,760
so much evidence that's coming forward that's converging with universal wisdom teachings and
48
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:34,880
indigenous traditions to literally turn the old paradigm of materialism and separation on its head.
49
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,680
I absolutely love that. Thank you so much for sharing. And that is the mission of the quantum
50
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:48,560
theory podcast to converge science and spirituality in those Eastern wisdom traditions. And I love
51
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,840
everything about what you just said. And it's interesting, I feel that these thinkers, such as yourself,
52
00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:00,480
who have kind of gone down this road, have a foundation of experience. If you're familiar with
53
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:07,840
Federico Fajin, his story is now pretty prominent. Okay, yes. So I feel as though there are these,
54
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:15,280
there's sort of a foundation of first hand experience that gives sort of the direct,
55
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,400
I guess, window into that world. And then you can then start connecting the dots into the actual
56
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:28,560
science that's now emerging. And so I'd love just to kind of set the stage here because you mentioned it,
57
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:36,000
the really where we are with the divide of materialism and more of the oneness type of perspective,
58
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,320
cosmic mind, consciousness being fundamental even theories like idealism and things of the sort.
59
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:47,520
Where are we right now? And what is the key divide between these two worlds?
60
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:54,640
Well, I think first of all, there are a lot of scientists who of course were trained in a paradigm
61
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,840
of which is actually a mechanistic paradigm that goes back to mid-19th century,
62
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:07,520
before quantum physics, before relativity physics. But that paradigm was not just powerful in a
63
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,920
scientific perspective, it was very powerful because it drove the industrial revolution. So all that's
64
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:20,640
come forward really since then in terms of the way we educate our children, the way we govern
65
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:28,960
ourselves, structures, organisations, they're all really based on this mechanistic worldview.
66
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:35,680
And of course, it's a worldview that is essentially meaningless and purposeless. And you know,
67
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,680
where consciousness was always a great mystery, but was always assumed to be just human consciousness,
68
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:50,000
or a bit more beyond that, and somehow emerged through random accidental evolutionary processes.
69
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,800
So that's really what you and I would have inherited at school, certainly me,
70
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:03,760
and those of my age, that's what we were taught at school. And the point is that even the breakthroughs
71
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:12,160
of quantum physics and relativity physics, they gave us the clues, they gave us profound clues
72
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:18,240
that the world is not made of separate stuff, that it is about profound interrelatedness,
73
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:25,440
and to work at all, as you probably aware, quantum physics requires the entire universe
74
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:35,600
to be non-locally unified. And you're almost certainly aware too, that for decades in the late 1980s
75
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:45,360
and through into the 2018, it was finally able to experimentally show by entangling photons of light
76
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:53,200
in a lab with starlight from 600 light years away, and a whole cascade of entanglement triggered by
77
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,800
light from a quasar, a very active, galactic center, 12.2 billion light years away.
78
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:06,480
In 2018, that took this experimentally to cosmological levels, and that was so compelling
79
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:13,520
that in 2022, the Nobel Prize of Physics was given for universal non-locality, in other words,
80
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:21,360
a unitive universe. And you know, Einstein didn't get the Nobel Prize relativity, because it was seen
81
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,360
as being too contentious. He actually got it for the photoelectric effect. So what this is showing,
82
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:35,360
that this is settled science. Now alongside all of this, over the last sort of 20 years, perhaps
83
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,600
a little more, but certainly in the last few years, we've had more and more and more evidence
84
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:48,240
at all scales of existence across numerous fields of research that are all showing the same thing,
85
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:56,160
that our universe essentially meaningfully exists, and purposefully evolves, as a non-local
86
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:02,800
unitive entity. What is really important, I think, the scientist to have been struggling with this,
87
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,240
because I think most cosmologists are sort of pretty much over the bridge now, because they realize
88
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:14,880
that we cannot understand the appearance of our universe, its energy matter, and space time.
89
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:21,040
From that level, we have to go deeper. So just as science has always done, we've
90
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:28,080
it includes and transcends. Just as quantum physics did to Newtonian physics and relativity
91
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,520
physics did, it included and transcended. We're now in a place of inclusion and transcendence,
92
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:40,240
but we can only do that by realizing that mind and consciousness, like the Vedic tradition
93
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:46,000
showed us, aren't something we have, than what we in the whole world are. So we're now at this point,
94
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:54,320
where we can expand our perception in an incredible way that goes way beyond science,
95
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,120
and it's still accessible to science, because the reason we're able to go to this place,
96
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:06,000
and I could write the cosmic hologram, is that all the evidence was showing that if we look deeper,
97
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,560
beneath the appearance of our universe, we start getting answers to how that appearance comes about,
98
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:20,160
but for me more importantly, and going back to my lifelong journey, we also have a deeper understanding
99
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:28,000
of why our universe is, as it is. Well, that was profound, and thank you so much for sharing that.
100
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:35,920
I think that's a great segue into a bit more of the meeting potatoes here of the mechanism
101
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:42,560
and jumping into some of these different aspects of your work that you pointed out. One of the things
102
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:47,040
is speaking of entanglement, and I think there's a big bridge when we're talking about,
103
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:53,840
number one is going to be wave function collapse, and then we have, as you said, really coming to
104
00:11:53,840 --> 00:12:00,080
grips with what entanglement means. We can measure it, we can understand it, we can give a Nobel prize,
105
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,640
but then there's that next step of, okay, so what does this actually implicate here?
106
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,280
I think what's really interesting as you pointed out is it works on macroscopic scales.
107
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:15,040
We have, I think, things as large as diamond studs that we are able to actually entangle.
108
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,680
So, what are the implications of entanglement on a macroscopic scale?
109
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:25,840
Okay, well, absolutely. I mean, certainly at the level of organic molecules, we can entangle those
110
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:32,000
now, but the experiment that I mentioned in 2018 was only entangling photons, but it was doing it
111
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:39,440
at cosmological scales. In other words, there was, there was sort of photons of light in laboratory
112
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:45,920
that were then entangled with starlight coming down a telescope, but emanated 600 light years away,
113
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,760
but the whole, what's called a cascade of entanglement, which far surpasses something called the
114
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:59,120
Bell's limit, and the Bell's theorem was way back a recognition of the need for universal
115
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:06,800
eye-hold universe needed to be entangled for quantum mechanics to work at all, because that cascade,
116
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:16,160
which passed all of the thresholds, was triggered by light from a quasar 12.2 billion light years ago.
117
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:24,560
That was so beyond any dispute that, you know, what we're talking about is universal,
118
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:31,520
non-locality is universal entanglement. The issue was for a long time, the fact that it seemed to
119
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:40,160
be odds with what relativity was saying. And we can understand now that it's the both and, but we can
120
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:47,600
only do that by bringing in recent understanding about what we'll continue to talk about, I'm sure,
121
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,600
the holographic principle and other aspects of this whole model that we can realise it's the both
122
00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:03,280
and. So that our universe exists and evolves as a unitive as a non-local, the whole entity.
123
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:12,640
So it knows itself. It has spontaneous, not knowingness of its entirety in every moment from its
124
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:20,560
beginning, 13.8 billion years ago, as space has expanded ever since and as times flowed forward ever since,
125
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:28,480
it knows itself in its wholeness. And yet within space time, there is a cosmic speed limit,
126
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,760
which is a speed of light. And that has to be the case, otherwise, first of all, there wouldn't be
127
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:40,480
that flow of time. Secondly, there wouldn't be the causality that enables our universe to evolve.
128
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:46,240
And so thirdly, we wouldn't be having this conversation. And there's a lot of reasons why the laws
129
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:52,800
of physics require this. But this was the big issue because Einstein was very unhappy with the idea
130
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:59,280
of universal entanglement, he called it spooky action at a distance. He realised that there was a limit,
131
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:07,840
a finite limit to signals within space time. What he wasn't able to understand and know with the
132
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:16,160
quantum physicists of those times that it's a both and the wholeness of the universe and yet within it
133
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:24,400
learns about itself because of that innate flow of time, a causality that is
134
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:33,360
journeying through its entire evolutionary journey. Absolutely. And I would curious as well as a
135
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:40,080
more targeted question to because if we have entanglement at macroscopic scales and that's been
136
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,760
empirically shown, how can we also simultaneously not have information transfer faster than the speed
137
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:53,520
of light? It's really you need the holographic principle to start to understand that. And the holographic
138
00:15:53,520 --> 00:16:02,320
principle came about from studies on black holes. And the question was at the end of a massive star's
139
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:09,440
life when it's run out of its nuclear fuel, which was actually stabilising it, its outward pressure
140
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:15,280
was stabilising it when that fuels used up the star collapses. Now if you're a small,
141
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:21,760
medium sized star, you just keep on going to be a white dwarf or whatever. But if you're a massive
142
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:29,840
star, then the forces are too strong, the gravitational collapses too strong to stop it. So the star
143
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:36,000
collapses and it does so three-dimensionally, it does so spherically. So spherical start begin with,
144
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:43,920
it falls in on itself, but a point comes where it passes a threshold, where not even light can
145
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:49,280
escape and so it becomes what's called a black hole. Now the question then is what about all the
146
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:54,560
information that was telling the story of that star, where does that go? Because if it disappears,
147
00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:02,400
then quantum mechanics is out the window. It doesn't work, it just out the window. So there was a big
148
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:10,160
who are about well what does happen and it was discovered that the information is actually held on
149
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:18,400
that event horizon. Now this is where it gets a lot of fun because you'd think that all the
150
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:25,920
information of that three-dimensional spherical star would be proportional to its volume. So the
151
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:32,880
volume of the black hole would actually measure of the information that's retained, but it's not.
152
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:39,920
It's proportional to the surface area of that star, which is the spherical event horizon.
153
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:45,760
Now when that was realised and there's a measure of that called the Beckenstein bound and all
154
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:53,360
sorts of stuff, when that was realised there was an a-ha moment because that's what a hologram does
155
00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:01,040
when you shine a beam of light at an object, a 3D object, well you split the beam and part of that beam
156
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:07,680
then reflects back off of that object, it brings back the 3D info of that object. When it's mixed with
157
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:15,680
the beam of the original beam of light, it then forms a two-dimensional patterning of that information
158
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,920
and then when you shine another beam of light through it, it projects a hologram, which is the three
159
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:29,680
dimensional appearance of that original object. Cosmologists realised we could expand and there
160
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,560
are lots of other reasons for saying this is heading in the right direction. We can expand that
161
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:42,160
understanding to a holographic principle, which is a universal principle, that our entire universe,
162
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:50,640
the appearance of our entire universe is a holographic projection from the boundary of what we call
163
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:58,960
space and time. So here we are, a universe that begins in its most minute form nearly 14 billion years ago,
164
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:07,920
as simple as it could be but no simpler, and then a space has expanded ever since and times flowed
165
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:15,360
forward and we can talk about how that happens, but basically there's more and more and more and more
166
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:24,240
information able to be expressed within what we call space time and manifested as what we call energy
167
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:32,000
matter. There are multiple directions I would love to take and several different questions pop
168
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,520
it up in my head, but I think the first one I feel that everyone probably will ask is how do we make
169
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:45,040
sense of physicality, given that we are in a holographic universe where information is fundamental
170
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:52,400
as you pause it. What's the translation from information into physical reality, quote-unquote,
171
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:59,920
in asterisk? I recall as well you mentioning that information is material and energy matter
172
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:07,360
is immaterial if I have that correct. It's more than it's both and our definition of materiality,
173
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:13,680
of course, as you say, is being based on what's physical. When we're sitting in our chairs, we're not
174
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:21,120
falling through our chairs, occasionally I do. I'm really good at falling off chairs.
175
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:33,040
What I would say is our universe, its manifestation, is real. That is real. But when we talk about
176
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:40,400
physicality, we're talking about solidity. That's our perception of physicality. We're solid. I can
177
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:46,800
do this and this and all the rest of it. When we go smaller and smaller and smaller, we've realised
178
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:54,160
a long time ago that atoms are the sort of little billiard balls of electrons and new trans and
179
00:20:54,160 --> 00:21:01,680
protons and beneath that quarks. What they are are relationships of fields, quantum fields,
180
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:08,720
and we're now restating those quantum fields in informational terms. But the reason that reality
181
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:19,600
appears solid is that part of quantum mechanics is that those individual, so standing waves of
182
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:28,080
those interactions cannot occupy the same quantum state at the same time. And so when we have
183
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:35,440
electrons, they can't occupy the same state at the same time. So there's appearance of separation.
184
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:44,960
Add it to which the electrons that whizz around the nuclei of atoms or the interactions and
185
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:53,280
the relationships that we perceive in that way have the same charge and the laws of electromagnetism
186
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:58,160
say that like charges repel. So we have two aspects. We have what's called the Fermi Exclusion
187
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:06,720
Principle, which says that quantum entities, certainly those that make up atoms, there are other types
188
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:15,040
that can occupy the same quantum states. Those that make up what we call normal matter can't occupy
189
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:21,680
the same quantum states at the same time. That's why we get the appearance of separation of physicality.
190
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:28,800
And I'm not for a moment saying that because our universe is a cosmic hologram that it's no
191
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:38,800
less real, it's just the way in which universal genius cosmic mind can create such a universe.
192
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:45,680
So in essence, I would or you would say that it has to do largely or mostly with the
193
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,000
these it was poly exclusion principle or with with sorry, I do apologize. It was the
194
00:22:50,000 --> 00:23:04,720
poly exclusion principle. I've had a long day. I polish. I don't mean to correct you. I'm just
195
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:19,840
talking about the same thing. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. That's a personal shock for myself.
196
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:20,640
So really we're really just physically repelling because we can't occupy the same state. It's more of an
197
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:28,480
electromagnetism if you will. It's about it's about and because obviously like charges also repels.
198
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:38,240
All the laws of physics are just so exquisitely relational and perfect to actually enable a universe
199
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:46,480
of quantized energy matter. And I would say non-quantized but in tropic space time that both are needed
200
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:55,680
and all the laws are needed to enable our universe to meaningful exist and purposefully evolve.
201
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:04,160
Sure. So I think this is a good segue to into the big one which is wave function collapse because we have
202
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:12,240
objective collapse. We have pilot wave theory. We have quantum Bayesianism. We have the
203
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:19,440
traditional Copenhagen interpretation. So I would love to kind of dive in there in informational
204
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:26,560
terms and holographic terms. How do you perceive wave function collapse? Is there a thing out there
205
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,760
and as you mentioned does the tree fall? It doesn't make a sound if no one there is there to hear it?
206
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:37,440
Type of thought process. What's your general perspective in this framework on wave function collapse?
207
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,400
Well what I would say is a go back to that analogy of if a tree falls in a forest and there's nobody
208
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:50,560
there to see it does it actually fall. I would invite us to consider our entire universe is both the
209
00:24:50,560 --> 00:25:00,240
observer and the observed that our entire universe is essentially a friend of my as a guy called
210
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:07,360
Max Velmann. He calls it reflective monism. So in other words the entire universe is aware of all
211
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:15,200
that is happening at all times and then the individuated self-awareness that includes us is aware
212
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:21,280
of different aspects of that and yet we are part of we are microcosmic co-creators of the entire
213
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:31,360
universe. So that's also why we are naturally enabled with noetic phenomena, noetic experiences
214
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:39,200
because we are like cells in our universe as body. So when our universe which which continually
215
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:46,160
exists and evolves as a unit of entity the wave forms is its potentiality.
216
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:53,920
The wave form collapse which occurs at all scales not just you know minute scales not just it
217
00:25:53,920 --> 00:26:02,320
is an ongoing Planck scale upwards phenomena that actually is the entire universe
218
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:11,840
existing in its in its existential entirety. So there's no there's no sort of separate
219
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:20,400
wave form there's differentiated there's differentiated wave form collapse as part of a whole sort of
220
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:29,920
bow wave of the universe's ongoing progression from past into the present and potentizing the future.
221
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:36,880
You know when you've seen a ship go across a lake there's a bow wave in front of it that's the best
222
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:42,800
understanding I think we have at the moment that there is that potentizing that plays out at all scales
223
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:51,280
within the wholeness of that universal progression that then comes into the particularization
224
00:26:51,280 --> 00:27:02,000
of the here and the now. So it's in the bow wave analogy is it something to where we it's sort of
225
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:09,440
a universal phenomena that is sort of collapsing reality as we know it or do we have some level of
226
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:16,080
entanglement with that whatever what what is a measurement you know what what is this process of going
227
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:24,080
from infinite possibilities to quantization. Well first of all there's no infinities within space time.
228
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:31,840
Our universe itself is finite it began to find out time ago there is no manifestation
229
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:38,560
within space time that is infinite I mean that if you remember was what opened the door to quantum
230
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:46,560
physics because the 19th century view of electromagnetism on a black body radiator would actually
231
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:54,400
have infinite wavelengths. And clearly that's not the case. And that would lead to the the quantization
232
00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:01,680
of energy matter that then you know realize that there was finiteness everything we actually see
233
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:09,040
a measure within space time is essentially finite. But what we're saying is with the hologram before
234
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:16,160
that fine find outness comes into its manifested form which it does so in each plank moment
235
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:22,880
from the beginning of our universe all the way through is like a shutter speed of our universe
236
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:31,520
and it's a shutter speed of 10 to the minus 44 seconds extraordinary. But it together with
237
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:40,400
the expansion of space and the Planck scale pixelation of information which itself is minute at minus
238
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:51,040
35 meters 10 to the minus 35 meters what you get is this potentiality to then manifest in the
239
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:59,360
appearance of what we call our universe but it does so finitely and the measuring point is how we
240
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:08,960
measure and that's in a sense it's not a paradox I talk about parallax because in in physics as you
241
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:16,720
know parallax is looking at things from a different perspective. So if we look at a particular experiment
242
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:22,160
and measure it from a particular point of parallax we'll get a particle if we measure it from a
243
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:28,960
different perspective and parallax will get away potentially but it's both and because ultimately
244
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:36,880
the universe is both and. One last question I have on this topic before I'm
245
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,120
transitioned to others just to make the best use of your time here because there's so much I want
246
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:46,560
to cover in this time here but the last thing is I was personally curious what is the key
247
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:53,520
difference between pixelation and quantization because I recall you mentioning yeah go ahead yeah yeah
248
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:59,600
well pixelation I mean the screen that we're you know conversing through is pixelated it's high
249
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:08,080
definition pixelation okay but nonetheless that the screen has has tiny sort of little areas with
250
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:14,800
different information within it that makes up the photo of of us yeah that's pixelation.
251
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:23,760
Quantization is where there's a quantum is is packet so within energy matter all energy matter
252
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:29,600
is quantized in other words it occurs as packets of information rather that notes of music rather
253
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:38,080
the continuous continuation it's literally quantized in packets and that is why and how
254
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:46,320
you know the materiality of our universe can express itself yeah and it does so very beautifully because
255
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:55,440
of that so the pixelation of the entirety of the appearance of our universe is pixelated at the
256
00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:04,160
Planck scale and when we scale that pixelation is all the information of our universe and it's
257
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:11,200
expressed in complementary ways as quantized energy matter but it's also expressed as this ongoing
258
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:19,680
journey of space and time hence the whole evolutionary story and space time I would argue is not
259
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:29,120
quantized but all of the appearance comes from this tiny minute pixelation of all the meaningful
260
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:36,160
information that expresses itself in our universe and that pixelation if we look at our high definition
261
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:46,000
that pixelation scale is trillions of trillions trillions times smaller than our best HD technology
262
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:52,720
at the moment it's as literally as small as to an atom as an atomist of the whole universe so the way
263
00:31:52,720 --> 00:32:01,680
our universe exists and evolves it requires these different yet complementary ways of expressing
264
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:10,320
its universal information as quantized energy matter which enables our universe to exist
265
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:18,080
and express itself and it's conserved and it changes but it can't be created or destroyed so
266
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:28,880
it just changes and then is as what I call intropic space time whereas space expands and as time
267
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:35,840
is flowed from the beginning what I call entropy which is the informational content of our universe
268
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:45,200
always increases that enables our universe to evolve so quantized energy matter and intropic
269
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:54,160
space time are complementary they come together to enable our universe both to exist and to evolve you
270
00:32:54,160 --> 00:33:05,200
need both. That's a wonderful bridge into time so I'd love to just kind of open the can on this one
271
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:11,040
about really the paradigm shift of seeing reality number one as finite potentially even
272
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:18,320
toroidal which is not an aspect of what you mentioned but as this perhaps information bubble that
273
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:23,520
that through experience and through its evolution which we are in and also co-creating
274
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:31,360
the flow of time itself is literally the entropy of information all the way back from the big breath
275
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:37,120
and I'd love for you to just kind of lay some fundamentals for you know what is time
276
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,840
well thank I think you've expressed it beautifully Jared when we go back to the beginning of our
277
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:50,720
universe which is finite time ago it came into being at its at its smallest state but also its
278
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:59,760
simplest state now the second law of thermodynamics says that the going back to 19th century that the
279
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:08,000
entropy which is the energetic micro states of a a container system can only increase through time
280
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:15,600
okay so if we go back to the beginning of our universe it was at its lowest entropy so time could
281
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:21,920
only go one way from that beginning and that way is from the past all the way through to the present
282
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:28,080
and then to unfold into the future but what I've done is I've expanded those three laws and there are
283
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:35,680
three laws of thermodynamics to three laws of information or info dynamics and when we do that we
284
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:43,600
realise why we need three laws and we also realise that if the first law which in that thermodynamics
285
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:50,240
talks about the energy of a container system can change through time but it can't be created or
286
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:58,000
destroyed apply that to our universe it applies to the quantized energy matter which says the
287
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,280
information expressed as quantized energy matter can only change through this whole process it
288
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:10,400
can't be created and destroyed enabling our universe to exist but then you get to time and you get
289
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:18,000
to the second law and you get to expanding entropy and the second law of thermodynamics was all
290
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:24,400
about in 19th century about entropy it said that the entropy of a container system can only increase
291
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:31,520
through time so to talk about our universe entropy is about energetic micro states but going back to
292
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:41,840
a point you made earlier information is as physical as energy and we can expand as we've done the
293
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:48,720
first law into information as energy matter but we can expand energetic micro states to
294
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:56,000
information content and it's the same equation it's the same Boltzmann's equation so what we can say
295
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:05,360
is the entropy i-entropy information content of our universe began at its lowest level so as time
296
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:13,840
is vote forward and a space is expanded ever since that information that entropy has increased and
297
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:19,600
that enables with that flow of time in the expansion of space for the holographic
298
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:28,320
nature of our universe to manifest more and more experience and i'll just because for me it's a
299
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:36,960
cherry on top of the icing on top of the cake the third law the third law of thermodynamics says
300
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:44,560
that the temperature of a container system like our universe is inversely proportional to its
301
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:52,000
entropy so i would say inversely proportional to its entropy our universe came into being
302
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:02,640
in its lowest entropy its lowest entropy its highest temperature so space has expanded ever since
303
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:11,200
temperatures dropped as time floats forward ever since entropy has increased so it's as beautiful
304
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:20,560
reciprocosity that really has driven the universal life cycle and now we're you know it began at 10
305
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:28,160
to the 32 degrees Kelvin we're now at 2.7 three degrees Kelvin i would suggest that that means we're
306
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:33,840
closer to the end of this thought bubble i love what you how you described it this thought bubble
307
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:40,800
of our universe um you know to its completion and i also love that you refer to the big breath because
308
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:46,560
our universe did not begin in the chaos or the implied chaos that we were taught was the big bang
309
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:53,760
we know it wasn't big but it wasn't chaotic it wasn't a bang and you refer to it and i call it to
310
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:59,200
the first moment an ongoing big breath exquisite fine tune wonderfully ordered
311
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:10,640
purposeful meaningful that's so beautiful and i i'm curious if i i feel like this is something that
312
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:16,720
that you pause it as well in the book it is our universe our finite universe one thought bubble
313
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:22,560
in an infinite plenium of thought bubbles it where it completes the temperature drops the
314
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:29,920
the entropy is maximized of information there's there's no further complexity to be had
315
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:35,280
and and then from there it is perhaps you know released into the cosmic plenium is this
316
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:42,880
is this what you'd perceive the process is on the highest level yeah i do i do and and then you ask
317
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:50,480
well where did the baby universe has come from right and one of the the the the the i believe is
318
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:57,120
that the most intriguing suggestions with this is an extension to general relativity which is called
319
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:07,120
ecks which stands for Einstein carton kibble shama extension and denny shama who was
320
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:16,960
Stephen Hawking's mentor for his PhD was my mentor at Oxford oh wow and denny's love mavericks
321
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:27,200
i hope you're very proud of me by now um but it's an extension whereby it's very very complex
322
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:35,920
but in in really extreme cases at the very heart of black holes and possibly over and even
323
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:41,440
supermassive black holes there's an extension to general relativity which has a
324
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:50,000
terrible effect it's like a screwing effect and it may be that that is the origin of baby universes
325
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:57,760
that bring with them some of the past story some of the this because our universe is so exquisitely
326
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:05,360
fine tuned it does suggest it's not the first it's not its first radeo as our american friends say
327
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:14,080
but there is a sense of of heritage and almost like a reincarnation of complex a potential for greater
328
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:20,400
complexity that we could actually consider the possibility of being on on universal scales
329
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:28,000
even like cosmic epigenetics if you will yeah because i love that cosmic epigenetics and you know
330
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,640
my my follow on book from the cosmic hologram was this was the story of gaiya and that really
331
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:42,400
tells this story the whole evolutionary story of ours and and our story is a story of our universe
332
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:52,080
so you know that story i i feel is so empowering because we can read where people who i hope read the
333
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:58,880
cut read you know the story of gaiya really feel come to feel that we belong this is we belong here
334
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:07,440
we have meaning of purpose i was profoundly shifted by that section of of at least the cosmic hologram
335
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:15,280
with the fine tuning i mean talk about mind blowing the different uh principles and and like the
336
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:22,880
different forces that are so unbelievably fine tuned to allow even different elements to emerge and
337
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:29,760
and i'd love for you to sit touch on just the the sheer fine tuning of the reality in which we
338
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:36,560
live in the the utter impossibility of of randomness of of of what the beauty of this cosmos is
339
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:44,640
absolutely well you know there are various measures of this there are there around six fundamental
340
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:51,920
universal constants a martin reese who has um has done a book on this called six numbers basically
341
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:59,040
but when you look at those and and see what would be different if any of them were as tiny
342
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:06,480
stage different from what they actually are and it works out something like one intent to the 27
343
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:12,160
i think Lee Smolian came up with that figure but it's a thousand trillion trillion times one two
344
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:19,360
a thousand trillion i mean it as you say it it is my problem but but when you look at the laws of physics
345
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:24,560
i mean if you don't understand that mind and consciousness are what we have they're literally
346
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:31,280
what we in the whole world are quanta physics is a mystery but when you do understand that it's a way
347
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:38,640
in which the potentiality of consciousness can express itself and manifest itself it is very
348
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:45,600
straightforward and what we find as well in the basic laws of physics they are incredibly simple
349
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:58,880
e equals mc squared e equals h new you know um gravity f equals gm1m2 over r squared these are not
350
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:07,120
wrath of equations they're very incredibly simple on the reason that they are so simple able to
351
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:15,120
be so simple is because that exquisite fine tuning you know with electromagnetism we've now
352
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:22,960
measured space to be pretty it has to be flat because first of all otherwise electron magnetism
353
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:29,200
could not work in its orthogonality in other words a magnetic field goes one way the electromagnetic
354
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:35,600
field is 90 degrees to it and the light goes 90 degrees to that exactly not a bit of a fudge
355
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:45,040
when we are taught geometry at school we learn Pythagoras we learn about triangle
356
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:50,640
and we learn about the 180 degrees and we learn about you know the relationships between the
357
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:59,040
sides of triangles there's a very straightforward way of taking you you know that that space
358
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:06,480
euclidean space of a triangle with 180 degrees which is on flat paper because if we curve the paper
359
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:12,960
a triangle has more or less than 180 degrees but on flat paper a triangle has eternal angles
360
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:20,000
the total 180 degrees there's a way of moving that into what's called Hilbert space which is a sort
361
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:26,400
of slightly more sophisticated way of working with space to understand the relationships of energy
362
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:34,960
matter and you can go from Pythagoras to Einstein equals mc squared e equals mc squared only
363
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:42,880
if space is flat only if space is flat and the final thing and this is the big give away as
364
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:48,880
well is throughout quantum mechanics and also relativity but quantum mechanics is the biggie
365
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:58,240
Schrodinger wave equation and all of the equations are pervaded by and holographic
366
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:05,280
principle is pervaded by something called i the square root of minus one and that we're realizing
367
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:13,920
there's not just a mathematical nicety it really is the foundation between the appearance of what we
368
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:21,600
call our universe and it's underlying causation it's causing they literally it arises from what some
369
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:29,520
folks call phase space but that is that non yet manifest you're talking earlier not yet manifest
370
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:39,440
realms of causation that then come into the manifest universe and so i the square root of minus one
371
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:49,120
is that sort of mathematical mode by which that transfer that that progression from what we
372
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:54,720
might call immaterial to material actually takes place so all of these hand together beautifully
373
00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:04,960
but only if you know if they share all of these features wow and that's a perfect segue to the idea
374
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:11,680
fractals which i have been very excited to talk about but in terms of the in terms of the the complex
375
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:17,440
plane and you pointed out the Schrodinger wave function should go on infinitely but we know the
376
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:22,720
universe is finite also from looking at the cosmic microwave background there is a limit on on the
377
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:28,560
wavelengths as you pointed out absolutely no there there is a finiteness to it but yet obviously
378
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:34,000
that's not what we experience in finite reality so there's that there's that translation from the
379
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:40,640
complex you know as you said the potentiality the immaterial or super physical to the you know
380
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:47,760
physical always an asterisk but exactly and that yeah ultimately the infinite is an eternal cosmic
381
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:55,280
plenum to that finiteness of this thought bubble we call our universe i love that and and so
382
00:46:55,280 --> 00:47:04,400
when it comes to fractals one thing i was wondering about is the law of attraction because as you
383
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:10,720
talk about fractal attractors and and and even pre cognition and super normal phenomena
384
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:16,720
of sort of being able to non locally perceive information as it's sort of crystallizing perhaps
385
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:23,920
in the complex plane you know before it becomes an act potentializes into physical reality do you
386
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:29,360
do you think there's any connection there between the law of attraction and and kind of what you
387
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:36,480
put out and how you're able to actually crystallize and potentiate into reality i would and i wouldn't
388
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:42,640
sort of oversell it either i mean the laws of physics are the laws of physics i might have the
389
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:48,240
intention that i'm going to become the hang gliding champion of the world it ain't going to happen
390
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:57,360
Jared i have to tell you this but yes indeed because we are microcosmic co-creators of the macrophosmic
391
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:05,760
sentence of our universe and therefore we do have naturally natural attributes of of awareness
392
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:11,920
that are non local in in that regard but just to go back to your point on fractals for those folks
393
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:16,320
who are listening to us and aren't sure what a fractal is it's basically a relationship
394
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:25,280
and in the ancient Greek geometers were were wonderful in the fact they had something to write with
395
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:31,760
and something to create a straight line with and they included profound truths about the innate
396
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:39,280
relationships of our world and so when we look at the platonic solids and when we look that they're
397
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:47,200
essentially idealized fractals and fractals are realistic platonic solids in that regard in other
398
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:53,120
words when we look at a cloud we're not seeing a triangle but if we actually analyze the outline of a cloud
399
00:48:53,120 --> 00:49:00,640
you know it we can actually subdivide triangles into more and more and more and more and more detail
400
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:06,720
and and they are fractals or we can take fractals to their end point idealism and we end up with
401
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:12,080
with a triangle I mean that's very straightforward but what it's showing is that the entire to our
402
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:18,800
universe plays out through innately through relationships and interdependent relationships and the
403
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:25,840
point about a fractal just as it does for a triangle it scales up and it scales down so when we
404
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:34,240
when we when we look at the evidence of the cosmic hologram we see it all scales of existence because
405
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:42,640
we're seeing fractals at all scales of existence when a metal atom is moving to become an insulator
406
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:50,080
vice versa it's electrons cluster fractally we can see fractals all the way up to planetary systems
407
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:56,880
we see them in the solar wind and and and planetary orbits we see them galactically we see the same
408
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:02,320
fractal relationships as you mentioned in the cosmic microwave background in the temperature
409
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:07,760
differences there so we're seeing them all the way up and all the way down and they are indicative
410
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:17,040
also of of Fourier transforms and Fourier transforms are a mathematical bridge that actually
411
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:25,280
underpins the holographic technologies so we're seeing so many things pointing in the same direction
412
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:33,040
and across numerous fields of research so underlying complex systems whether it be the an ecosystem
413
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:40,560
or the internet are the same fractal patterns we're seeing the same power law relationships between
414
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:48,880
frequencies of phenomena and and their scale that we do earthquakes and conflicts and human conflicts
415
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:56,960
so what we're seeing throughout not just natural systems but human choices collective human
416
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:04,400
choice and behaviors is this underlying causation and the all pervasiveness of consciousness
417
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:11,760
so going back to the law of attraction we're essentially playing out conflicts in the world
418
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:19,040
because we have a world of your separation collectively we have a dis-ease of separation
419
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:25,760
we can create if we've got a tractor pattern and the laws of attraction in that sense
420
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:33,280
or we're behaving in conflictual ways in in equitable ways we can create a tractor pattern
421
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,360
for love and a tractor pattern for peace
422
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:48,960
so that for me is our choice now do we stay in this old world of your separation
423
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:55,920
a fully-to-fear or do we as I truly believe we have the capacity to and the invitation from the
424
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:07,120
universe to literally paint a love and undertake a conscious evolution that I feel is our opportunity
425
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:11,200
our invitation and the reason we're here
426
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:20,320
absolutely and and people just like you are providing the evidence so we can all really see I think
427
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:25,760
through the rational mind I think is really the key I think that's what's going to make this so
428
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:31,920
accessible is even talking about fractals I mean that's a slam dunk to holographic principle I mean
429
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:37,680
it's self-similar I mean the hole is contained in the part and the the the the the fractality of
430
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:44,080
reality is so obvious just from the evidence that you've put forward alone and I had one other
431
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:51,280
question to follow that up here is you know what does this say about free will and more specifically
432
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:59,920
with Benford's law and Zipz Zipz law where we have fractal patterns for I wrote a few things here
433
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:08,000
such as Twitter users to follow a ratio street addresses corporate sales versus costs stock prices
434
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:16,080
population densities galaxy formations and even to the words we say follow these numerical patterns
435
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:23,760
and it it almost feels like one big mind like playing itself out but you know what does that say
436
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:30,320
about free will fits that codeable our behavior through the internet through stock markets whatever it
437
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:36,640
might be you know what what is that indicate about our individual choice I I'm a I'm a it's
438
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:42,800
interesting I'm a both-and person whenever it's an either raw choice I go what am I missing here
439
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:48,560
and just as now we can say that you know relativity physics and quantum physics a complementary
440
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:56,720
energy match and space time a conflict we need both and I would say that collectively all our choices
441
00:53:56,720 --> 00:54:02,880
together form Zipz law they form all of the the the the the phenomena that you identified
442
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:10,000
but the entirety of our universe the holds and this is the beauty of it is each is also playing
443
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:18,160
out through each of us and so in that sense I do fit my view is that we do have free will but not in
444
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:27,920
the complete sense of being separable we are inseparable and yet we are unique expressions
445
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:37,040
and we are self-aware individuated microcosmic co-creators yeah but when we come together
446
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:42,480
then that totality because we're working at so many levels of consciousness Jared
447
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:49,440
and when we talk about free will it's not just the level that we're aware of it's that subliminal level
448
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:56,720
so a lot of our choices are also that subliminal level and I think it's primarily those choices
449
00:54:56,720 --> 00:55:04,480
that we can we can see playing out in these collectives so I think it's a both-and the question I would
450
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:11,040
say is a question I would ask is what are we choosing at the moment are we choosing fear or are we
451
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:20,480
choosing love and I would suggest that we have a free will choice in that regard and on a personal
452
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:29,520
level I choose love I would also say that the evidence we have because of its wholeness and its
453
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:36,640
inseparability and yet its differentiation and its meaning existential meaning and evolution
454
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:43,120
purpose is I describe our universe not just as a living universe but as a loving universe
455
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:52,320
I love that and I think that's that's a lovely way to conclude our conversation and before we do so
456
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:57,760
because I know we're coming up on time here is I would love to give the audience just a couple
457
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,400
minutes here if you want to share where they can find you such as maybe a couple of your books
458
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,160
maybe if you have a website you want to share and I'll drop everything in the description as well
459
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:12,800
oh that's so kind of you I think the easiest thing is just to offer a website which is www
460
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:25,120
whole whle world wrld hyphen-viewvew.org and on that we've got links to my books we've got lots and
461
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:32,320
lots of free resources around everything and new latives science and all of this we've also got a
462
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:39,520
link to a recent film which is called a radical guy to reality which is 14 minutes long it's free
463
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:47,200
to view and free to share on youtube and it's in 19 languages at the moment from Arabic to Ukrainian
464
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:56,320
and we're just adding another one Bengali so and more so but you know and we also on the website
465
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:01,680
we have an education wraparound so glossary of terms and things like that and invited
466
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:09,680
experiences so there's a whole range to an invitation to cup home and come to this adventure
467
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:15,760
that's so amazing thank you so much dude for for all of your wisdom and your time today
468
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:22,000
it's been an absolute pleasure and maybe perhaps need a round two because I still have a lot of
469
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:28,800
questions but I would love round two I would love round two and maybe on round two we could talk about
470
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:34,640
the story of Gaia because when we talk about the evolutionary story I mean you talked about blowing
471
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:41,440
a mind my goodness me that takes it to a whole next level yes I would love to and talk about
472
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:49,040
pan spermia and all and all of that stuff so all of that stuff yes awesome jude we'll talk offline
473
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:53,600
about that I want to get you on to your next next meeting here but thank you so much again jude and
474
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:59,520
have a fantastic rest of your day oh bless you jara thank you so so much for there all right take
