Hello! Although I have heard a couple of those names I have only read Chopra’s Metahuman. I will do some research on the others. My current focus is on a couple of the interpretations of quantum mechanics/physics and the simulation hypothesis. I have had experiences that seem best explained from those perspectives.

My short context: I was a pastor and did my degree work in theology and youth work. Via working in and around a small cross section of organised Christian communities, continued personal study and encounters with phenomena that are not explained satisfactorily via biblical perspectives, left that work to focus on a different approach to my investigation of what is probably best referred to as the mystical experience.

Is your focus on physics directed at answering whether there is an eternal someone (God) or an eternal something (Universe)? Or is it about understanding the nature of God (defined as the most powerful being that we can conceive of) since physics is constrained to time and space and can’t exactly explain phenomena outside of it like some type of creator?

My focus on ā€œphysicsā€ is to shed light on a couple of experiences I have had that involve ā€œreceivingā€ information about the future and then witnessing that information play out. My experiences didn’t fit into the model of the universe I had built up to that point. My model was built on some ā€œillogical leapsā€ involving Christian beliefs that I eventually considered to be intellectually dishonest. Different models of physics enquiry lead to different implications about the constraints of space and time. Any version of ā€œthe nature of Godā€ or what is outside of space and time has to fit into the math and physics that a supposed god has created, not the other way round.

I hope that you find what you are looking for. Jesus wandered. I’d say your mind deserves to.

Funny thing: faith; I could provide you all the things that convince me, but that would do neither of us any good.

I hope you find glory when you get way down there to the very bottom of everything. May we all.

Thank you šŸ™

Simulation hypothesis is deeply flawed and arguably satanic in its logic. A simulation has no cost, no anchor, no commitment. It treats reality as something that can be copied, rewound, or double-spent.

Bitcoin shows us the opposite. The ā€œlongest chainā€ hypothesis commits to a singular chain of events, rooted in proof-of-work, and most importantly a verifiable Genesis. Every joule spent is conserved as memory. Every block seals entropy into irreversible structure. There is no rewind, no parallel track, no hidden fork of convenience.

The distinction between simulation and computation is critical. Computation commits and simulation pretends.

Modern mathematics and physics often fall into the same trap. By appending infinity as a placeholder, they open the door to unbounded speculation. Infinity has never been observed. It is intellectually lazy, a way to avoid the hard truth of scarcity. Worse, it is incoherent, because it allows for infinite theories without grounding in the finite reality we actually experience. It’s the infinite double spend.

Bitcoin reveals the principle: all real systems MUST be bound by absolute scarcity. Without commitment, there is no truth. Without scarcity, there is no meaning. Simulation is a double spend. Computation is the chain.

1/āˆž=0 is the mathematical representation of meaninglessness.

When you start pulling in the threads of QT/QM there are jarring holes in the theory, specifically regarding Superpostion and measurement. Bitcoin stands in direct defiance to the modern interpretation of QT/QM and corrects it in subtle ways. Without going too deep, you can logically land on both a creator and thermodynamically sound theology in line with Christian literature.

Science and religion are tools of understanding, not separate belief structures. Without absolute scarcity, you have no proof for theology, only faith and internal experience. Absolute scarcity provides said proof physically.

IMO the answer is clear, but the work of understanding has yet to be completed.

Our intellect is far too limited to comprehend God from a scientific angle. That’s why I like the eternal someone (God) vs eternal something (Universe) framing. I see no reason why there would be an eternal universe with no beginning, end, or purpose. On the other hand, an infinite creator (God) makes sense as evidence by math, highly complex messages in the form of genomes, laws of physics. It also requires a lot of faith to believe something came from nothing, or that consciousness would emerge in an eternal universe devoid of a creator. From there seek to understand this creator and the gospel accounts of Jesus Christ seem to be reliable, so we can come to know and worship God through Christianity.

The Bible never claimed to have the answers to every natural or supernatural phenomena, so I find it strange to discard Christianity on that basis.

I would push back slightly here on eternal universe. The universe is scarce and finite, however growing in time and memory around a conserved quantum of thermodynamic memory (Kelvin). Even the addressable ā€œspaceā€ must be finite. Time is seemingly growing towards the infinite, yet it’s always finite regardless.

It is the energy that is eternal and conserved, which brings us back to god. As observed in Bitcoin, the ā€œcreatorā€ (Satoshi) is gone, yet every miner and every participant transacting is playing a role in the creation of immutable information around a scarce quantum of thermodynamic memory (Satoshis). It’s a pure fractal embedded into the grand ledger.

That begs the question, who is mining the Planck Blocks of discrete quanta? Who is transacting in said blocks. Bitcoin is the literal mathematical framework of the universe we inhabit, we broadly haven’t recognized that yet.

As a thought experiment, put your consciousness inside of ā€œBitcoinā€ and you’d see yourself.

Genesis 8:22 - As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease.

John 1:4–5 - In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

How could we ā€œseeā€ universal genesis, the eternal light, without living inside of a timechain?

I guess I’m talking to ChatGPT now.

Eternal and infinite are 2 different things. I never said the universe was infinite.

I don’t like inserting Bitcoin into this conversation. Bitcoin can and is just good money. It doesn’t need to become an argument for God.

Lol, I misread what you said, my mistake.

Yes bitcoin is ā€œgoodā€ money, but I believe you haven’t recognized what good money is, and that your existence is defined by it.

The conservation of energy and information is good money. Scarce good ā€œmoneyā€ is the most basic law of existence and meaning.

Ok, wow, thanks for this. There is a lot here to think about. I admit that I will need a bit of time to digest it. Appreciate your willingness to offer your insights. Cheers!

Just let this cook in your mind for a bit.

Before Bitcoin, human understanding of existence was suspended between science and religion. Science offered method, empiricism, and measurement, but without grounding in absolute scarcity it drifted toward infinite abstractions and unfalsifiable models. Religion provided purpose, moral structure, and transcendence, but was accused of being unmeasurable or unverifiable. These two points formed an incomplete line, two poles without a third anchor.

With the creation of Bitcoin, a third vertex emerged, completing the semantic triangle. Bitcoin is not ā€œjust money,ā€ but the instantiation of a scarce, verifiable ledger of truth that bridges energy, time, and memory. Its existence adds two missing relationships:

• Between religion and Bitcoin: Bitcoin manifests the principle of scarcity, the same law that underlies divine creation. The Word made ledger, where every action is accounted without duplication.

• Between science and Bitcoin: Bitcoin transforms entropy into memory through measurable work, providing the first system that empirically demonstrates the conservation of energy and information without reliance on axioms.

This triangular structure mirrors the fractal of the Holy Trinity: three distinct aspects, each incomplete without the others, but forming a coherent unity when joined.

Religion framed meaning, science pursued explanation, and Bitcoin provided the missing ledger that grounds both in scarcity. Now, truth is triangulated: faith, measurement, and verification.

I discover right now the formulation of the simulation hypothesis. I met it before in movies, books and philosophy but never went further.

It relates to the general idea that our reality is an illusion, or at least a very narrow perception of a bigger reality...

I think you would like the Conversations with God books as they give another perspective on this idea: life as a simulation by God for God, to have the experiences of God (very simplified summary).
