Are we all bits of data in some giant super-computer?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #16 of 163 |
At the risk of delving into the metaphysical, has anyone heard of the theory
that all matter, particles, and energy in the Universe are quantified in some
giant super-computer somewhere (some might refer to this as a sort of God).
In other words, everything in the Universe exists only as bits of data in this
metaphysical computer. Does anyone know what this theory is called and who
came up with it? How do Artilects feel about this concept?

BEN HOUSTON: Thanks for the explanation and I'll go check out Merlin Donald's
book. This is a very interesting topic. This was another thing I liked about
your presentation - the past trends in human evolution you identified, and the
future ones you explored.
Good luck, hope you get the internship!

Regards,
