FYI - from the peanut gallery, I'm enjoying reading your posts. I like the fresh perspective and look forward to more details.
Many christians seem to disregard the bible when it seems "too embarrassing" in the modern "false science" world (how about they be "too embarrased" of the adultry/fornication rates instead?? They need to grow a backbone and read the bible):
1 Chronicles 16:30: Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Psalm 96:10: Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
So many verses in the bible show that it is a geocentric system (if not at least a flat earth). The earth is fixed..it does not revolve...the stars/planets/etc revolve around the earth....it doesn't matter how many new fake planets or photoshops NASA comes out with every week.
This thread has been a fascinating read for me. OP is obviously a lot more knowledgeable on the subject than I am. I used to be satisfied with multi-verse anthropic arguments but I find myself more and more dissatisfied with these arguments because they seem like a bit of a cop-out and so I started to try to look at things from different angles to see what else I can learn about what it means to be conscious in this universe.
This thread reminds me of a paper I read by someone with an IQ in the range of 190-210. He claims to have solved the problem of "reality". Some may say that he is a crank but I don't doubt his intelligence. This is a topic that I think we should not make so many assumptions. Instead we should carefully place everything in front of us and see what is the only consistent answer to the problem. I was wondering if anyone has read this paper and what your thoughts are on it.
"The CTMU, being a logical theory, does not attempt to force such an interpretation down anyones throat; not all semantic permutations need affect theoretical structure. What it does do, however, is render any anti-theological interpretation a priori false, and ensures that whatever interpretation one chooses accommodates the existence of an intelligent designer namely, reality itself. In light of the CTMU, this is now a matter more of logic than of taste. "

Todays scientists are parrots..not scientists.

What is this, pantheism?
Don't know....but have you ever heard of panentheism?
Panentheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Panentheism (from Greek πᾶν (pân) "all"; ἐν (en) "in"; and Θεός (Theós) "God"; "all-in-God") is a belief system which posits that the divine (be it a monotheistic God, polytheistic gods, or an eternal cosmic animating force[1]) interpenetrates every part of nature and timelessly extends beyond it. Panentheism differentiates itself from pantheism, which holds that the divine is synonymous with the universe.[2] Unlike pantheism, panentheism maintains the identity and significance of the non-divine in the world.[3]
I understand it like; the universe and all it's perfect laws are like the colors of the rainbow. God is white light, found no where in the rainbow but is the origin of it's perfect harmony.I'm not sure I fully grasp the difference.

Like wise, the universe is a spread out perfect harmony of interrelated individuated parts from an original union. And the Union (God) still surrounds and holds all the individuated parts, undiminished in the act of creation.
God in the Highest/The Father is holy whole outside of creation. Inside creation is the Kingdom of Heaven ruled in perfect Law by the Son of God.
Working to get there while getting some practice before hand.
I have found several better approaches thanks to the quality of posters here.
I'm not that excited about being a massive "celebrity"
Then perhaps you should be working on it instead of presenting it as truth on an irrelevant internet forum.
That doesn't really add much credibility to your ideas.
But I get excited about evidence, credibility and credentials.
You don't seem to have any of those. Sorry, but I have a hard time taking people seriously who spend their time writing their wild ideas on internet forums while pretending that those ideas tackle and solve problems that the brightest of the brightest (like Einstein, Hawking, Krauss, Kaku, etc etc etc etc) have made their life's work without success.
You get that, right?

I have read all of the above. So far Langan's solution answers the most questions for me. In Krauss' "universe from nothing" he doesn't attempt to find a solution to the problem of where the laws of physics come from. In my opinion, that's a big metaphysical mistake.
I have one educate genius telling me my theory and model have profound ramifications for quantum gauge theory and he's going to pass my outline by his colleagues, some of the highest and most educated minds in the field of quantum mechanics.
Some of the principles I operate with have yet to be imagined by modern science.
And we have other working phd's on this forum telling you that you are engaging in word salad.
And frankly, both are just claims on an internet forum.
You are so smart and innovative. All professors should just ask you what they should be doing.
Just because you cannot make sense of it, does non-sense of it make.
And in your rush to ridicule and dismiss, you forget that every breakthrough in science was a new perspective/idea larger than the establishment of the time.
