Tom Campbell: Virtual Reality: Why It's A Better Model Than String Theory and Holographic Universe

In this fascinating interview, physicist Tom Campbell, formerly with and now a consultant for NASA, discusses the current problems facing the scientific community's search for a Grand Unified Theory of Everything. String theory, holography, zero-point field theory, and other vogue models have failed to produce any significant results other than speculation, conjecture, and contradiction-hampered popular films such as 'What the Bleep Do We Know?' While Campbell doesn't merely criticize these theories, he offers a fresh interpretation of the root of the problem: the Double Slit Experiment.

Campbell also discusses information theory, virtual reality, process fractals, the quantum erasure experiments, video games, and the unavoidably primary role of conscious observers within our reality.

Through what he calls the data base, he also discusses accessing the Larger Consciousness System. Yes, His Big TOE derives a Supreme Being.

Tom has excelled as a working scientist, a professional physicist dedicated to pushing back the frontiers of cutting edge technology, large-system simulation, technology development and integration, and complex system vulnerability and risk analysis.

Question, if a lab worker is carrying tubes of Cyanide and unknown to him he drops one on a trolley, then another worker pushes the trolley into a food court and unknown to her knocks the Cyanide all over someones food, and then someone eats the food with no conscious knowledge of the Cyanide on the food, according to your theory, how could the person die or react to the Cyanide if no-one knows its on the food?

@ogfunk187,

There is a rule-set ( we call it science) that determines cause and effect. The information about the poison is available within PMR -- whether anyone is aware of it or not is not relevant. The key is the availability of information in PMR, not conscious awareness.

About evolution mistake. I ment it in this way. It makes better choice at the time - 1 cell organism to 2, then to human - but in long term, lets say humas iniciate nuclear war, and kill ALL LIVING ORGANISM on earth. So evolution fail ! That is what i ment on short term beter choice (monkeys stand on 2 feet), and it could develop long term WORS result - monkey kill all living organisim with nukes.

@borisZG55,

Sure evolution can devolve or produce something (including itself) that becomes extinct. Evolution is a work in progress, an open ended process of change. It has no specific end point configuration it is working toward fulfilling such that it can stop evolving when it gets there. The future is only probabalistic not deterministic -- stuff happens and probabilities change....the process is open-ended and thus has the potential to end badly as well as to end well.

If we could "hack the universe's computer" it would look a lot like "magic."

As it turns out Loop Quantum Gravity, which models the universe like a quantum computer looks EXACTLY like Hermetic occultism! watch?v=TufKcBa5RaI

Thanks Tom for another great video....!!!

[jackshit54942]

@guidi73 I think I can answer your first question: think of it like a different dimension. 4th, 5th, whatever special number you choose. In his book he references Flatland: A Romance of many Dimensions, a short story free online, it explains the difficulty in viewing and measuring another dimension. I still can't answer #3, sorry, don't understand (yet) myself :)

I guess what Tom is trying to say at the end is that at the being level you realise who you are and bad or good does not longer matter, no matter what happens you are fine with it, what really matters is "pime objective or prime objectives" which are evolution of true self. Human based brain intelligence does not see true self and it usually sees it self separate object why it has to use "judging" to survive, while being you are the the core is unbounded and everywhere. Tom correct me If wrong

[koodahquake]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[guidi73]

I didn't quite get how he got so fast from very well explained things to reencarnation! That brings back many of the questions that he claims to answer with his big TOE:

[mcarbone80]

Tom and the people that make all these videos please keep this up! Every video just keeps getting better and better and answers more and more questions. My Big Toe is probably a century ahead of its time. Thank you so much for all of this!
