The Anthropic Principle. Anthropic reasoning has been used to address the question as to why certain measured physical constants take the values that they do, rather than some other arbitrary values, and to explain a perception that the universe appears to be finely tuned for the existence of life.

Tom Says … (~15:15)

So it starts with initial conditions and a rule set. The rule sets what we call science. Scientists are engaged in figuring out what the rules are. So it started this okay digital big bang take one push the run button. It goes a little while and crashes. Oh, let me adjust the initial conditions a little bit. Let me adjust the rules a little bit. Let me turn gravity down. Let me do this and that. Okay, big bang take two. It goes a little further, but it two crashes. Well, we eventually get big bang take 10,000. Now, we have adjusted and fine-tuned those rules and those initial conditions to give us just exactly what we want, which is the evolution of avatars that consciousness can log on to. So now, why are all those constants just to nine or 10 decimal places all just exactly the way they have to be to allow us even to exist here, to allow the universe to even exist here? Well, that’s because it was a trial and error process of tuning those initial conditions in the rule set to produce the result that was required. So you do this a little bit. You turn gravity up. Oh, that was too much. You turn it down just a speck. And then eventually you’ve got eight or nine decimal places worth of tuning to these things to produce what you want.

A thought experiment. (~22:36)

And in a social system, a social system with all these individuated units of consciousness, a good a good little uh thought experiment is we’ll have two separate groups that we will say the love group and the fear group. And they start out equal just individual units of consciousness. They’re all equal in every way. And this group in the love group, okay, they’re given certain number of resources and told to just go live there. And this group has the same resources and they’re told to just go live there. So then we see what happens. And as you would expect, the group that’s in the fear side, they don’t share. They take things from each other. They fight. They struggle. They form up power groups. They um do whatever they have to do to benefit themselves. They’re very self-centred. And what happens if somebody builds something up? Somebody else will tear it down or take it over. And there’s constant struggle and fighting. And basically the ethic is control, power, and force there. Over on the love side, they all cooperate. They care about each other. They love each other. Each one wants everybody else to be actualised as much as they can be. Each one wants to contribute to the whole. So if they come up with a good idea, they share it. If they have extra time, they donate it. If somebody’s barn burns down, everybody gets together and helps them build another one. So they cooperate, they care, they share. And in when the time period’s up to see how these both go, you’ve got one over here in the fear where 3% of the people control 95% of all the resources. And there’s a big hierarchy from the top and down down to the big part at the bottom of the pyramid where most of the peasants do all the work. On the other side, we don’t have that at all. Each individual has optimised their own potential. Each has the freedom to do the way they want and they are rewarded by the degree of contribution they give to the whole. So that’s a system where they cooperate, they care, they help and they have optimised the system for everyone. So everyone is doing well with those resources. They’ve shared, they’ve invested, and they don’t fight, they cooperate. So that tells you the difference that the love side is the low entropy side, the more order and the fear side is the high entropy side, more chaos.

It actually is a simulation. (~44:07)

Well, that’s the way we do it now and in our century when we’re making simulations and computer games on a computer. And there are lots of good reasons that you’ve raised that our reality seems like it is a simulation, but you seem to be going a step further. I think you’re saying it doesn’t just seem like a simulation. It’s not just a metaphor. It actually is a simulation. And the Larger Consciousness System actually is a computer. Well, it is an information system and it’s the you know it’s also the the player you know pieces of those systems are the players subsets that’s the individual units of consciousness are the players. So you have a system and it’s an information system and it can configure parts of itself to act like a computer. It can configure other parts of itself to be like a virtual machine and act like an individuated unit of consciousness. So, it can be those things. It can be those different things and it’s all one thing. But you might say, and I’ve heard some philosophers say this, it’s uh it’s creating the game. And it’s not only the creator of the game, but it’s also the player of the game. You know, it’s both.

It can’t go any faster than that. (~47:08)

Now let’s go into the speed of light. I think it’s an important piece of your argument. So we should drill down a bit. No, that’s really easy to explain. This is a virtual reality. Therefore, it’s computed. If it’s computed, there is some resolution that is computed to. Right? You have… this is a dynamic simulation. That means things move. It’s a dynamic simulation. Therefore, there’s a delta t. And there’s also it was defined. You had a point and then three mutually perpendicular unit vectors and you define space three space all over. So now you have pixels of distance and pixels of time. I’m making a little bit of a connection between pixels but small units of time. Now the way all simulation dynamic simulations work is that you increase time by a pixel and then you recalculate where everything is and then you increase time and recalculate where everything is. And that’s how simulations that have moving parts are made. So the outer loop is a delta t loop. You change delta t is delta t now plus one more delta t plus one more delta t. In every loop you reposition everything that’s moving according to the equations of that motion. So that’s a dynamic simulation. Right? So we have consciousness and information system. We have the fact that this virtual reality is… feels physical what all virtual realities do to their avatars. We have this… the part that it’s it’s doing this so that the individual units of consciousness can make choices and therefore evolve in our entropy. Okay. Now we get to some of the mechanics of virtual reality. The mechanics of virtuality say that the fastest that anyone can anything could possibly move is one delta x. That’s position, for every delta t. If it moved three delta x’s for every delta t, it would disappear here and reappear over there. That’s teleportation. And that would not be allowed by the rule set because that makes a very squirrelly reality when things disappear everywhere and appear someplace else. So to make a reality one that’s consistent enough to live in and make choices, one pixel is as far as you can go for one delta t in time. And every virtual reality has a speed limit. Okay. Now in our case that delta x is called the Planck length and that delta t is called the Planck time. And you take the Planck length and divide it for the Planck time and you get the speed of light. One delta x for every delta t. So that’s you know that’s why you know we have constant speed of light. It can’t go any faster than that. 

Only at the 7th, 8th or 9th decimal place. (~50:25)

So the resolution here is only what’s necessary. So, as we get more and more science of the small, you we’re looking at atom smasher smashers tearing particles apart and so on. The resolution has to change. It has to go up a little bit to enable us to see those things. So, the resolution changes. Now, here’s a really interesting fact. The way you change the resolution is you if want to… you would like to say if you want to double the resolution, you’d like to take the delta t and divide it by two. Now it’s only half as big. Take the delta x, divide it by two, it’s only half as big. And the ratio, the speed of light doesn’t change. But you got higher resolution. But the problem is it’s digital. You can’t just divide it by two because that may have decimal places that never end. If you divide it by two, you get to a pixel halfway between halfway out of this pixel and not quite to that pixel yet. You see? So, you can’t just divide it by exactly the same number. But you can pick a number for the delta x and the delta t so that the ratio is as close as you can get to see. But it won’t be perfect because if you moved it one more pixel here, oh, it’d be too high. And one more pixel back there, oh, it’ be too low. You see what I mean? So because it’s pixelated, what that does is says that as our resolution’s gone up, the speed of light changes a little bit and probably, you know, 7th, 8th, 9th decimal place is kind of where it is now for our life. That’s enough. And you know what they found? The speed of light changes in the eighth or ninth decimal place. And it’s been measured to do that four or five times. Not by much, just out in that seventh or eighth decimal place. And nobody has a clue why that should happen. And it’s not that that’s the error in the measurement cuz they can measure it to about 15 decimal places and they’re finding the change in about the eth or ninth decimal place. So it’s well within their measurement error. And this has happened. So that says that this that the uh speed of light does change slightly because it’s pixelated. And you can’t always get exactly the same ratio because you’re a little you’re a pixel off here or there in one or the other and the ratio will go up a little, goes down a little and they’ve experienced both. Sometimes it increases, sometimes it decreases. So there’s another fact that this model explains.

from “A” Theory Of Everything to “THE” Theory Of Everything. (~56:46)

Well, I thought I had a good model and it did explain a lot of things like we’re just talking about. You know, the speed of light changes a little bit. Why? Well, there’s no reason for that other than this change in resolution that’s required. So it answers a lot of those paradoxes and I’ve listed actually now about 40 paradoxes that have been solved mostly science but some in philosophy and theology and a couple of other places but so I said okay it’s a good model only last year in 2024 did I come to the conclusion that it was the model and the reason is that most of those 40 things I figured out over the last couple of years and I came to the conclusion that there was no way that a model could get that much right without having anything wrong and not be at least close to the right answer. May not be the right answer. May not be the final thing. Theories change. You know, as new information comes in, they got to be able to change. So, a theory is not a dead thing. It’s not a law like Newton. We talked about laws and we found out that just doesn’t work. There’s always room for growth and more understanding, but it’s a really good theory. And so many things, so many things that just aren’t known. Like in physics, they don’t know why speed of light changes a little bit. They don’t know why probability ought to be the, you know, ought to be the fundamental thing. They don’t know a whole lot of things like that, that are just mysteries. And this answers all of those.

The Larger Consciousness System did it. (~1:08:22)

But we’re at that point where peoples need to have their minds opened up a bit. Mhm. So we have crop circles that appear overnight in the dark with exquisitely designed curves to mathematical precision and all I guess by bending over little stalks and it happens in twelve hours of darkness and the next day it’s done. And of course we look at that and we say well nobody could do that. That’s way beyond human capacity to do something like that. A hundred you know, surveyors out there laying out stakes couldn’t have done that in the dark, you know, for any amount of money. So, it’s just impossible. So, what we do is things that are impossible, we tend to say, well, and aliens did it must be an alien thing because that’s something that can do the impossible. That’s, that, that’s unlimited kind of in our imagination. So, we say aliens did it. But actually, it’s a Larger Consciousness System just doing things to help pry people’s minds open.
