Well, you've read Larry Krauss on this by now for the Aristotelian theologic good oil. Larry may be right. I would also try Bruno's Platonic frame - which merely states the universe is how numbers appear to themselves. The Truth is: Nothing emerges from Anything. Everything just is, was and always will be, just like in arithmetic. Arithmetic Realism. Grok it. Two plus two always did equal four and everything else can be doubted in some way. Trouble is, it doesn't immediately seem like a scientific conclusion to say "you are a very complex number and you are dreaming yourself" but there might be a less Stanley Kubrick way of putting it but for the moment it escapes me Kim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
