Richard, In a weak sense this Akashic records stuff has some merit. The theory I present in my book is that reality is computational. This means that the computational interactions of information forms changes those information forms and those changes encode prior information states in a distr

PIerz, Of course the very concept of true eidetic memory is totally impossible. The total amount of data in the local environment in any single second is many orders of magnitude greater than the total capacity of a human brain. No one comes even vaguely close e.g. to remembering the position

So he's saying the number of proteins you COULD make from around 60 amino acids exceeds the Lloyd limit - not that there in fact is a Lloyd limit's worth of information stored in a given protein, brain, organism or even biosphere. I'm not sure how significant that is. I mean, my hard drive could i

Opps. My memory is not eidetic as well. Here is the pertinent quote from Davies article referenced above: "For example, proteins are made of strings of 20 different sorts of amino acids, and the combinatoric possibility space has more dimensions than the Lloyd limit of 10^ 120 when the number of a

An aspect of my string cosmology is that the metaverse contains a 4D-space (in which one space axis is time) that records every event that ever happened in this and every universe much like the Akashic Records. Eidetics and gurus can apparently time travel in this block-space. Richard On Wed, Feb
