Reality as Simulation with Jim Elvidge and Brian Geislinger - Where Did The Road Go?

Fringe Radio Network

Seriah is joined by the duo of engineer Jim Elvidge (author of “The Universe-Solved” and “Digital Consciousness”) and physicist Brian Geislinger (author of numerous academic papers and physics professor at Gasden State Community College) to take a deep dive on simulation theory. Topics include Nick Bostrom, Tom Campbell, Brian Whitworth, quantum mechanics, Eastern philosophy, a future advanced AI, Melvin Vopson, a connection between simulation theory and Covid-19, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, entropy, information and matter, informational entropy, life as denying physical laws, an analogy involving a cup of coffee, compressing data, the observer effect, the differences between physics at the classical scale and at the subatomic scale, quantum tunneling, quantum entanglement, patterns in nature, Albert Einstein and Relativity, Dean Radin and psi research, a video game analogy, holographic theory, cellular automaton theory, Plato’s cave, Déjà vu, string theory, James Gates, quadratic equations, mathematical reality vs physical reality, time as a physical dimension, Cartesian coordinates, imaginary numbers, information theory, the book “The Invisible Gorilla”, the human memory, modeling biological behavior, optical illusions, slime mold learning, a disturbing experiment on rats, lobotomies and other extreme brain surgery, severe epilepsy, “Beacon 23” TV series, anomalous brain formation, brain damage without disability, a fascinating academic psi study, questions about free will and MRIs, explanations for precognition, a complicated prophetic dream, experiences with precognitive dreams, dream time, information sent back in time, poltergeist activity, “Mandela” effects, the nature of time, the Buddhist concept of “Maya”, possible non-existence of time/a static universe, perception and reality, the “Matrix” films, and much more! This is a fascinating discussion of simulation theory with people who can intelligently discuss it, making complex concepts understandable without ever condescending to the listeners! This is a truly exceptional episode!
