00:00:18,010 --> 00:00:22,030 of complexity in our universe supports a completely different 4 00:00:22,030 --> 00:00:23,476 view. 5 00:00:23,476 --> 00:00:24,925 [MUSIC PLAYING] 6 00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:41,760 Standard science and physics specifically has been very 7 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,380 strong in believing that we live in a random universe, 8 00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:51,000 that everything happens just because things are bumping 9 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,950 into each other by chance. 10 00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:58,800 Somehow by this incredible fluke, 11 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,100 our world came about with all the biology on it, 12 00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:06,030 and all the things we see, including us. 13 00:01:06,030 --> 00:01:07,990 Is that possible? 14 00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:11,250 Is it even feasible that the universe 15 00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:16,500 would be the result of some random structure 16 00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:21,690 that all of a sudden made up biology? 17 00:01:21,690 --> 00:01:24,900 Our calculation shows absolutely not. 18 00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:31,680 The rise of complexity, that is the rise of the organized bio 19 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,000 structure that we see on our planet, for instance, 20 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,810 cannot occur out of just random function. 21 00:01:40,810 --> 00:01:45,480 The fact that everything in the universe has to be tuned just 22 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,880 right for this to happen, cannot be the result of just random 23 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,860 fluctuations. 24 00:01:52,860 --> 00:01:55,650 There's got to be order. 25 00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:57,390 The problem is that when you start 26 00:01:57,390 --> 00:02:01,860 to talk about there's got to be order, 27 00:02:01,860 --> 00:02:06,270 it scares the scientific community terribly. 28 00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:08,850 The reason is historic. 29 00:02:08,850 --> 00:02:14,250 Science was developed as a way to get away 30 00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:20,430 from religion, a way to get away from the concept 31 00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:24,420 that there's some creator sitting in a big throne that's 32 00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:27,090 organizing creation. 33 00:02:27,090 --> 00:02:31,320 Science needed to depart from that view. 34 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,830 And one way to do it was to assume that actually there 35 00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:39,540 is no such thing, that everything is just random, 36 00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:43,260 everything happens by chance, and we got here 37 00:02:43,260 --> 00:02:46,560 just because the chances were good, 38 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,460 and we ended up showing up. 39 00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:59,730 This is contrary to simple statistical analysis 40 00:02:59,730 --> 00:03:02,310 of our universe. 41 00:03:02,310 --> 00:03:04,860 One of the calculations one can do 42 00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:10,020 is the probability of the nucleotides. 43 00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:12,900 There is about 100 natural occurring nucleotides 44 00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:16,470 that make up the RNA molecules. 45 00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:21,720 And those are required for life to emerge. 46 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,660 Nucleotides form the basic structural components 47 00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:27,990 or building blocks of DNA and RNA. 48 00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:30,930 They are the repository of the genetic information 49 00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:34,620 responsible for the transmission of inherited characteristics 50 00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:38,610 from parents to children, and from one cell to another. 51 00:03:38,610 --> 00:03:41,610 Ultimately, the morphological and functional uniqueness 52 00:03:41,610 --> 00:03:45,090 of each living being are determined by the information 53 00:03:45,090 --> 00:03:47,070 contained in them. 54 00:03:47,070 --> 00:03:52,290 So even for a mono-cellular life, like one cell, 55 00:03:52,290 --> 00:03:56,790 there's that need that molecule has to assemble in such a way 56 00:03:56,790 --> 00:04:01,410 that about a hundred-trillion atoms would make a cell. 57 00:04:01,410 --> 00:04:06,810 Well, when you calculate the probability of that happening 58 00:04:06,810 --> 00:04:09,630 just by random chance, the nucleotide 59 00:04:09,630 --> 00:04:13,620 trying to fit together, and just bumping into each other, 60 00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:15,720 and getting the right configuration, 61 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,709 and all of a sudden making a cellular structure; 62 00:04:19,709 --> 00:04:27,180 the probability are 1 multiplied by 10 to the 8,896. 63 00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:33,120 That number is so huge that the probabilities can pretty well 64 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,820 be thought to be zero. 65 00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:41,210 Let's use another example the universe is really, really big. 66 00:04:41,210 --> 00:04:49,140 You could measure the radius of the universe in centimeters. 67 00:04:49,140 --> 00:04:53,880 A centimeter is very, very small compared to the universe. 68 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,420 Think of the solar system is already big, right? 69 00:04:57,420 --> 00:05:02,040 There's billions and billions of stars to almost 200 70 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,710 billion stars in our galaxy. 71 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:07,140 Galaxies are big. 72 00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:11,130 Galaxies are very, very teeny compared to our universe. 73 00:05:11,130 --> 00:05:14,310 When you look at the galaxy from our universal size, 74 00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:15,390 it looks like a star. 75 00:05:15,390 --> 00:05:18,090 You can't even see that it's composed of stars. 76 00:05:18,090 --> 00:05:20,340 So you'd say, if I'm going to measure 77 00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:22,740 the radius of the universe in centimeters, 78 00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:24,930 I'm going to need a lot of centimeters. 79 00:05:24,930 --> 00:05:27,690 Well, the radius of the universe in centimeters 80 00:05:27,690 --> 00:05:31,815 is approximately 10 to the 28 centimeters. 81 00:05:31,815 --> 00:05:36,520 10 to the 28 is a very, very large number then. 82 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,440 So imagine the probability that nucleotides 83 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,470 would just all of a sudden bump into each other 84 00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:47,310 just right, to come out with life 85 00:05:47,310 --> 00:05:52,080 are in the probabilities of 10 to the 8,896. 86 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,100 Basically, you could say those probabilities are zero. 87 00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:57,300 Right? 88 00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:01,270 It's just not going to happen that way. 89 00:06:01,270 --> 00:06:10,210 One approach has been to invoke infinite universes. 90 00:06:10,210 --> 00:06:14,820 And say, well, in an infinite amount of universes, 91 00:06:14,820 --> 00:06:18,330 there would be more probabilities 92 00:06:18,330 --> 00:06:24,780 that all of a sudden one of those universes 93 00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:29,130 would get the nucleotides right, and would get all the pieces 94 00:06:29,130 --> 00:06:30,540 right, and life would emerge. 95 00:06:34,450 --> 00:06:37,140 This is really a cop-out. 96 00:06:37,140 --> 00:06:40,800 It scares the scientists to say, oh, 97 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,790 there might be an organizing mechanism. 98 00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:48,930 Because they start thinking, oh, that's sounding like religion. 99 00:06:48,930 --> 00:06:54,340 Well, there's a whole lot more simpler explanation 100 00:06:54,340 --> 00:06:58,310 than some god organizing creation, 101 00:06:58,310 --> 00:07:01,010 or the universe is completely random, 102 00:07:01,010 --> 00:07:05,090 and somehow in an infinite amount of universes, 103 00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:09,650 we just happen to luck out and be in the universe that 104 00:07:09,650 --> 00:07:13,280 has exactly the right configuration for everything 105 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,950 to just come right, and end up with us. 106 00:07:17,950 --> 00:07:23,860 The alternative is that there is feedback in the information 107 00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:25,630 of the universe. 108 00:07:25,630 --> 00:07:30,890 As soon as you have feedback, you have organization. 109 00:07:30,890 --> 00:07:34,090 And this is what we see in the natural world. 110 00:07:34,090 --> 00:07:39,340 We see species that modifies their structure, that modifies 111 00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:42,400 their behavior, based on the feedback they 112 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,990 get from the environment. 113 00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:48,040 You change the environment, the species change. 114 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,410 They start adapting. 115 00:07:50,410 --> 00:07:55,270 The self-organizing structure and the rise 116 00:07:55,270 --> 00:08:01,270 of complexity in our world may be the result of the feedback 117 00:08:01,270 --> 00:08:04,510 structure, of the information network that's 118 00:08:04,510 --> 00:08:07,390 occurring at all the scales, which 119 00:08:07,390 --> 00:08:10,390 is what our equations describe. 120 00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:15,770 Remember from what we learned so far throughout these episodes, 121 00:08:15,770 --> 00:08:20,360 there is a field of information, the Planck fluctuation 122 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,760 at the basis of everything. 123 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,450 The way the information organizes 124 00:08:26,450 --> 00:08:30,950 produces little scales and bigger scales 125 00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:34,169 across all of the universe. 126 00:08:34,169 --> 00:08:39,919 And the information in each one of those scales 127 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:47,090 can be radiated from the center out, and absorb in again, 128 00:08:47,090 --> 00:08:49,410 one being the electromagnetic field 129 00:08:49,410 --> 00:08:52,280 and one being the gravitational field. 130 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:59,990 The information feedback would produce higher and higher level 131 00:08:59,990 --> 00:09:04,640 of organization, very, very rapidly. 132 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,740 A good example is a Rubik's cube. 133 00:09:09,740 --> 00:09:15,980 Think of a blind person trying to order a Rubik's cube. 134 00:09:15,980 --> 00:09:18,530 While if you calculate the probabilities 135 00:09:18,530 --> 00:09:24,080 of that blind person ordering the Rubik's cube by chance, 136 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,150 because they don't know if they're getting closer 137 00:09:26,150 --> 00:09:28,850 or further from the solution, and let's 138 00:09:28,850 --> 00:09:32,460 assume that they're making a move every second. 139 00:09:32,460 --> 00:09:35,060 So every second they make a move. 140 00:09:35,060 --> 00:09:36,950 You can calculate the probability 141 00:09:36,950 --> 00:09:46,350 of them ordering it by chance about 158 or 160 billion years. 142 00:09:46,350 --> 00:09:53,860 Our universe we know is approximately 13.7-13.8 billion 143 00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:54,660 years. 144 00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:59,810 So it exceeds the time of the universe by a long shot. 145 00:09:59,810 --> 00:10:03,860 But if you give feedback to that person, that 146 00:10:03,860 --> 00:10:09,230 is every time they move the Rubik's cube, every time they 147 00:10:09,230 --> 00:10:14,180 make a move, you say yes or no; yes, you're getting closer; 148 00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:16,540 no, you're getting further. 149 00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:21,050 Then about 2 to 2 and 1/2 minutes, the Rubik's cube 150 00:10:21,050 --> 00:10:27,020 will be ordered, just with a simple binary feedback, yes, 151 00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:28,340 no. 152 00:10:28,340 --> 00:10:30,710 Think about the feedback that's going 153 00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:34,190 on in all of the structures of the universe, 154 00:10:34,190 --> 00:10:37,250 with the Planck field being each bit of information 155 00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:42,800 feeding back into this loop, into these toroidal dynamics 156 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:43,850 of spacetime. 157 00:10:43,850 --> 00:10:46,850 The system is learning about itself. 158 00:10:46,850 --> 00:10:49,880 The system is absorbing information, 159 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,060 injecting information, and exchanging information 160 00:10:53,060 --> 00:10:58,880 through this incredible structure network of spacetime. 161 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,010 The network is learning about itself. 162 00:11:04,010 --> 00:11:06,230 We see this in biology. 163 00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:08,750 Think of microbes learning about the environment 164 00:11:08,750 --> 00:11:10,940 and modifying themselves so that they 165 00:11:10,940 --> 00:11:14,220 can be more and more efficient in the environment. 166 00:11:14,220 --> 00:11:16,460 Think of viruses modifying themselves, 167 00:11:16,460 --> 00:11:19,070 like the cold virus every year is a little different, 168 00:11:19,070 --> 00:11:22,310 because it adapts itself to learn about the environment 169 00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:24,580 and be more efficient. 170 00:11:24,580 --> 00:11:29,670 So this alternative to understanding the rise 171 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:34,080 of the complex nature of biology in the universe 172 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,780 and the organization of the universe, 173 00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:41,770 tells us something very profound about ourselves, 174 00:11:41,770 --> 00:11:46,330 but as well something very profound about consciousness, 175 00:11:46,330 --> 00:11:50,980 and awareness in our universe. 176 00:11:50,980 --> 00:11:55,630 That is that awareness and consciousness is not 177 00:11:55,630 --> 00:11:59,860 something that's only localized to the brain of a human being. 178 00:11:59,860 --> 00:12:02,410 But that the brain of a human being 179 00:12:02,410 --> 00:12:07,570 may be actually part of a feedback of information 180 00:12:07,570 --> 00:12:10,900 at the Planck scale, at the quantum scale. 181 00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:14,170 It's feeding information into the quantum scale. 182 00:12:14,170 --> 00:12:18,070 The quantum scale is feeding back experiences, 183 00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:21,760 in a continuous feedback feed-forward loop. 184 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,040 Think of yourself throughout the day. 185 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,640 You emanate thermodynamically. 186 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,970 As you radiate information, as you radiate thermodynamically, 187 00:12:31,970 --> 00:12:35,500 you're making very coordinated actions. 188 00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:37,390 You're doing things. 189 00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:40,750 You're absorbing information from the stuff around you, 190 00:12:40,750 --> 00:12:44,390 through your eyes, through your nose, through your senses. 191 00:12:44,390 --> 00:12:46,360 You're getting information. 192 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,960 You're feeding that back through the Planck field 193 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,600 that makes you into all of the Planck memory 194 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,330 network of spacetime. 195 00:12:58,330 --> 00:13:04,270 I call it space memory network, because without memory, there 196 00:13:04,270 --> 00:13:06,940 is no time. 197 00:13:06,940 --> 00:13:12,730 If you can't remember anything before this moment, 198 00:13:12,730 --> 00:13:16,240 you don't know that there's a linear movement of time, 199 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,980 that there's a linear function of time. 200 00:13:18,980 --> 00:13:21,870 No memory, no time. 201 00:13:21,870 --> 00:13:27,080 So it's more accurate to describe space memory then 202 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,580 space time. 203 00:13:29,580 --> 00:13:32,930 What I mean by that is that when you're 204 00:13:32,930 --> 00:13:38,000 flowing through space, when you are interacting with the Planck 205 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,630 field, when you're interacting with the information 206 00:13:41,630 --> 00:13:46,730 of the field, you are leaving an imprint, 207 00:13:46,730 --> 00:13:49,610 frame dragging across space. 208 00:13:49,610 --> 00:13:53,390 Remember, the planet is going at very high velocity 209 00:13:53,390 --> 00:13:56,960 through space, as it's going around the sun, 210 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,450 and the sun's going in this galaxy, and so on. 211 00:13:59,450 --> 00:14:02,930 You're leaving information on the structure of space 212 00:14:02,930 --> 00:14:07,460 in coordinates in space and time is just information 213 00:14:07,460 --> 00:14:10,790 on the coordinates of space. 214 00:14:10,790 --> 00:14:14,120 So your memory and the memory that 215 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,770 makes it so that biology or atomic structure 216 00:14:18,770 --> 00:14:24,290 can organize eventually into biology, the memory of space 217 00:14:24,290 --> 00:14:30,650 and time is what you're actually thinking of as your memory. 218 00:14:30,650 --> 00:14:33,200 When you remember something, you're 219 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:38,090 accessing information in the coordinates of space time 220 00:14:38,090 --> 00:14:40,700 where that action took place. 221 00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:45,580 You are entangled with this information set. 222 00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:50,460 That is a completely different view of who you are. 223 00:14:50,460 --> 00:14:53,150 All of a sudden, your brain is not 224 00:14:53,150 --> 00:14:59,120 manufacturing consciousness or an epi-phenomena 225 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,890 of consciousness. 226 00:15:00,890 --> 00:15:04,940 But your brain is more like an antenna, 227 00:15:04,940 --> 00:15:10,160 connecting to information sets, and these information 228 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:18,400 set producing reactions in your body that you act upon. 229 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:25,330 This is the feedback structure of the space memory network, 230 00:15:25,330 --> 00:15:26,560 as we describe it. 231 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,680 And we wrote papers on this. 232 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:35,110 It changes completely our understanding of ourself 233 00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:38,600 and our interaction with the universe. 234 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,670 So you might ask then, is everything conscious? 235 00:15:42,670 --> 00:15:47,860 Because if the information flow is across all the scales, 236 00:15:47,860 --> 00:15:53,140 you can imagine a star that's spinning through space 237 00:15:53,140 --> 00:15:59,860 is affecting the memory network in its region, the Planck 238 00:15:59,860 --> 00:16:03,880 field, and making smaller vortices which 239 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,500 spins out that we call stars. 240 00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,890 And then these stars can make smaller vortices 241 00:16:11,890 --> 00:16:15,490 at the event horizon that spins out 242 00:16:15,490 --> 00:16:18,010 into particles we call protons. 243 00:16:18,010 --> 00:16:21,130 And electrons, and table of elements, and all this 244 00:16:21,130 --> 00:16:23,110 stuff coming out of stars. 245 00:16:23,110 --> 00:16:29,020 And then these organize into smaller vortices 246 00:16:29,020 --> 00:16:32,080 created by the star in the Planck field 247 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,670 that we call planets. 248 00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:39,100 And then on the surface of those planets, these atoms that were 249 00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:42,460 made by the stars organize. 250 00:16:42,460 --> 00:16:46,060 And then they start feeding information 251 00:16:46,060 --> 00:16:48,340 into the feedback loop of spacetime, 252 00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:51,490 and start organizing into systems that are 253 00:16:51,490 --> 00:16:53,420 getting more and more complex. 254 00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:57,310 So it's like the whole universe is conspiring. 255 00:16:57,310 --> 00:17:02,340 And you can't say consciousness starts here, 256 00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:05,560 and anything before that is not consciousness. 257 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,040 Because it's all of the information 258 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,270 flow throughout that whole chain of events 259 00:17:13,270 --> 00:17:17,440 that eventually gets to the complexity large enough 260 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,280 that the system becomes self-aware. 261 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,430 Because I mean when you say we're conscious, 262 00:17:24,430 --> 00:17:30,190 we're a bag of fluids, mostly water with minerals in it, 263 00:17:30,190 --> 00:17:33,980 that have organized themselves in a certain way. 264 00:17:33,980 --> 00:17:36,700 Well, if this bag of water and minerals 265 00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:40,570 is an antenna for information, then this information 266 00:17:40,570 --> 00:17:44,860 flow or what we call consciousness is everywhere. 267 00:17:44,860 --> 00:17:47,470 Everything is conscious. 268 00:17:47,470 --> 00:17:52,060 But consciousness is the mechanics of the information 269 00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:54,250 through the whole thing. 270 00:17:54,250 --> 00:17:56,800 So that the rock over there is really 271 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:02,620 just part of this mechanics that eventually produced 272 00:18:02,620 --> 00:18:08,270 the complexity necessary for a system to become self-aware 273 00:18:08,270 --> 00:18:10,150 which is a remarkable thing. 274 00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:14,320 It's a universe learning about itself 275 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,000 to the point that it becomes aware of itself. 276 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,550 And it grows into a more and more complex system. 277 00:18:24,550 --> 00:18:33,040 Hopefully our civilization will learn about itself fast enough, 278 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,210 so that it will survive some of the larger challenge 279 00:18:37,210 --> 00:18:42,700 that it has created for itself by a misunderstanding 280 00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:45,910 of its relationship with the universe. 281 00:18:48,940 --> 00:18:54,910 It's like spacetime is the hard drive that's 282 00:18:54,910 --> 00:19:01,540 getting imprinted all of the information of the structure 283 00:19:01,540 --> 00:19:05,260 as it moves through it, and all of the complexity. 284 00:19:05,260 --> 00:19:08,260 So a planet moving through the Planck field 285 00:19:08,260 --> 00:19:12,730 is leaving a very specific trail that's more simple, 286 00:19:12,730 --> 00:19:14,710 that's less complex. 287 00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:17,170 As the planet spiraled through space, 288 00:19:17,170 --> 00:19:20,230 and this is important as well, the mechanics 289 00:19:20,230 --> 00:19:26,020 are not where systems come back on themself. 290 00:19:26,020 --> 00:19:30,430 But they actually evolve as they move through space. 291 00:19:30,430 --> 00:19:33,250 So our Sun is moving through the galaxy. 292 00:19:33,250 --> 00:19:35,900 Our planets are spiraling around it. 293 00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:39,160 And we're leaving a trail of information. 294 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:44,110 And this is how we imprint the structure of spacetime 295 00:19:44,110 --> 00:19:49,810 with the information that we think of as our memory. 296 00:19:49,810 --> 00:19:54,130 You could even think of it as the gene set that makes 297 00:19:54,130 --> 00:19:57,160 who you are who you are. 298 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,620 Think of all the information of all the ancestry 299 00:20:02,620 --> 00:20:06,520 of your mother, and your father, and their grandmother, 300 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,320 and all of the genetic information 301 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,580 that eventually makes you, how can that 302 00:20:15,580 --> 00:20:21,550 be contained in the simple molecules of biology? 303 00:20:21,550 --> 00:20:22,990 Well, it's not. 304 00:20:22,990 --> 00:20:26,590 These molecules are imprinted with the information which 305 00:20:26,590 --> 00:20:29,590 is in the structure of space. 306 00:20:29,590 --> 00:20:34,360 These molecules are accessing the information 307 00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:40,540 of almost an infinite amount of genealogy 308 00:20:40,540 --> 00:20:43,720 of all of your ancestors throughout the structure 309 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,010 of space, which makes so that your nose is 310 00:20:48,010 --> 00:20:50,020 a little bit like this, and your eyes 311 00:20:50,020 --> 00:20:52,270 is a little bit like that, and your ears. 312 00:20:52,270 --> 00:20:55,270 But it's still not your grandfather 313 00:20:55,270 --> 00:20:58,220 or your grandmother, it's something different. 314 00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:00,880 It's something that has evolved. 315 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,320 Because you're spiraling. 316 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,290 Because the universe is learning. 317 00:21:05,290 --> 00:21:10,300 Each generation is learning at a different rate, 318 00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:14,350 at a different level, at a different level of complexity. 319 00:21:14,350 --> 00:21:20,440 Think of the complexity of the life of our generation. 320 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,480 And then I have children. 321 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,640 And when I look at my children, they 322 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:30,640 learn so much faster than I learned when I was younger, 323 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,010 because their environment is different 324 00:21:33,010 --> 00:21:35,770 as well, because we've evolved. 325 00:21:35,770 --> 00:21:41,020 So now they have a smartphone in their hands at the age of 9, 326 00:21:41,020 --> 00:21:45,070 where we were still bicycling around, throwing balls 327 00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:47,200 in the backyard at that age. 328 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,680 They are getting information from the internet 329 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,520 about anything they want to know. 330 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,800 So the whole thing is learning about itself. 331 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,410 And we're leaving the information 332 00:21:59,410 --> 00:22:02,890 in the structure of spacetime as we move through space 333 00:22:02,890 --> 00:22:07,000 for the generation to come. 334 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,310 But as well, we're projecting information in our future. 335 00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:15,490 That is we have the capacity to take 336 00:22:15,490 --> 00:22:19,870 the information of the past, arrange it in certain ways, 337 00:22:19,870 --> 00:22:25,600 to intend certain things in the future. 338 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,460 Well, since the whole memory network structure of spacetime 339 00:22:30,460 --> 00:22:36,130 is wormhole connected, think of the Plancks behind me 340 00:22:36,130 --> 00:22:40,110 are influencing the Plancks in front of me. 341 00:22:40,110 --> 00:22:44,620 So there's a certain path that is being laid in front of me. 342 00:22:44,620 --> 00:22:48,550 This is what we think of as destiny. 343 00:22:48,550 --> 00:22:52,960 The natural flow of creation, the natural flow 344 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,520 of the universe, we think we have free will. 345 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,270 Yeah, we may have free will locally. 346 00:23:01,270 --> 00:23:04,630 But we're part of a larger flow, all the other human beings 347 00:23:04,630 --> 00:23:07,060 on the planet, all of the animals, 348 00:23:07,060 --> 00:23:10,240 the movement of the planet through space, the sun, 349 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,710 the galaxy, all this. 350 00:23:11,710 --> 00:23:14,030 We can all overcome this. 351 00:23:14,030 --> 00:23:18,010 We can start to influence the flow more. 352 00:23:18,010 --> 00:23:21,730 The way we interpret the information of the past 353 00:23:21,730 --> 00:23:25,280 is going to influence the way the information organize 354 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,670 in our future. 355 00:23:27,670 --> 00:23:32,380 So with our intent, we can interpret the past in a way 356 00:23:32,380 --> 00:23:36,160 that we get more of the future we want, and less of the future 357 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,870 we don't want. 358 00:23:37,870 --> 00:23:44,200 When we change as well our interaction with the past, 359 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,790 we're not just changing it for us. 360 00:23:46,790 --> 00:23:48,760 This is how we change in the present. 361 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,970 We think of the past in a different way. 362 00:23:51,970 --> 00:23:55,340 This is the concept of, for instance, psychology. 363 00:23:55,340 --> 00:23:56,140 Right? 364 00:23:56,140 --> 00:23:59,410 You think about past events that influenced you, 365 00:23:59,410 --> 00:24:02,370 and maybe the psychiatrist or the psychologist 366 00:24:02,370 --> 00:24:04,900 can give you a new perspective on it. 367 00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:07,120 And then you'd think about it differently. 368 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,440 And it changes you in the present. 369 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,320 And this is why I believe the phenomenon of epigenetics 370 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,540 is starting to be discovered. 371 00:24:16,540 --> 00:24:19,900 Epigenetics involve genetic control by factors other than 372 00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:22,300 an individual's DNA sequence. 373 00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:24,210 It works through chemical tags added 374 00:24:24,210 --> 00:24:29,020 to chromosomes that in effect switch genes on or off. 375 00:24:29,020 --> 00:24:32,230 This affects how cells read the genes. 376 00:24:32,230 --> 00:24:35,580 Epigenetic change is a regular and natural occurrence, 377 00:24:35,580 --> 00:24:38,120 but can also be influenced by several factors, 378 00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:41,650 including age, the environment, lifestyle, 379 00:24:41,650 --> 00:24:44,440 and plays a critical role in disease. 380 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,740 The genes that you have at birth are not stuck in cement. 381 00:24:48,740 --> 00:24:49,660 They evolve. 382 00:24:49,660 --> 00:24:51,340 They change. 383 00:24:51,340 --> 00:24:53,170 They change, because you change. 384 00:24:53,170 --> 00:24:55,390 And you're changing the past. 385 00:24:55,390 --> 00:24:57,340 Einstein's field equation predicts 386 00:24:57,340 --> 00:25:03,610 that you can modify the past, and that you can time travel. 387 00:25:03,610 --> 00:25:05,920 This new view of spacetime starts 388 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,030 to give you a little bit more of the mechanics 389 00:25:10,030 --> 00:25:13,660 and the understanding of not just how that's possible, 390 00:25:13,660 --> 00:25:18,200 but how the existence of the human beings 391 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,560 is actually doing that all the time. 392 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,610 Time is information in coordinates 393 00:25:25,610 --> 00:25:29,750 in space, in which each coordinate is a Planck time. 394 00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:32,020 It's very, very short time. 395 00:25:32,020 --> 00:25:34,520 So it's like frames. 396 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:40,880 And the frames are rolling, just like a movie frame, 397 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,650 rolling at the speed of light. 398 00:25:42,650 --> 00:25:44,360 So it appears smooth. 399 00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:47,630 But even the movement of your hand in space 400 00:25:47,630 --> 00:25:52,340 is not smooth, meaning that it's not clear 401 00:25:52,340 --> 00:25:54,620 how to measure the movement of your hand 402 00:25:54,620 --> 00:25:59,450 in space, because you can measure it in standard physics. 403 00:25:59,450 --> 00:26:03,600 You would say, OK, it left point A at this time. 404 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,060 It arrived at point B at this time. 405 00:26:06,060 --> 00:26:07,730 It traveled this distance. 406 00:26:07,730 --> 00:26:12,200 I can calculate the velocity of the hand through space. 407 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,540 It was going at 3 miles an hour. 408 00:26:14,540 --> 00:26:19,370 What is forgotten when you do this measurement is that you've 409 00:26:19,370 --> 00:26:21,500 isolated the system. 410 00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:23,990 You've made it an isolated system. 411 00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:27,290 You've isolated your hand from all the other movements 412 00:26:27,290 --> 00:26:28,340 in the universe. 413 00:26:28,340 --> 00:26:31,430 If you're honest about what's going on with your hand, 414 00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:34,400 while you're moving from point A to point B, 415 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,420 you have to add the speed of the Earth, because as you move, 416 00:26:38,420 --> 00:26:40,070 the Earth was spinning. 417 00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:42,680 And then you have to add the rotation of the Earth 418 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,830 around the Sun, as you move your hand, and the Sun 419 00:26:45,830 --> 00:26:47,300 in the galaxy, and so on. 420 00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:50,210 And so now your hand is going at very, very 421 00:26:50,210 --> 00:26:52,590 close to the speed of light very quickly. 422 00:26:52,590 --> 00:26:57,410 So what is movement becomes complex, right? 423 00:26:57,410 --> 00:27:01,650 Well you could think of movement in a completely different way. 424 00:27:01,650 --> 00:27:06,200 You could think of movement as you recorded your hand 425 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,770 in the Planck field at this coordinates in space, 426 00:27:09,770 --> 00:27:13,040 and then the next Planck second, so your hand 427 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,230 became the whole Planck field. 428 00:27:15,230 --> 00:27:17,240 And then it became your hand again 429 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,350 at the next Planck second, but in a coordinate 430 00:27:20,350 --> 00:27:22,220 that's a little bit beside it. 431 00:27:22,220 --> 00:27:24,770 And so your hand then is undoing and redoing, 432 00:27:24,770 --> 00:27:26,680 and undoing and redoing, and undoing. 433 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,800 And everything in the universe is fluctuating like that 434 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,640 as it's creating and as it's moving to space. 435 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,910 The thing to remember from this is 436 00:27:37,910 --> 00:27:42,890 that you are not separate from the dynamics that 437 00:27:42,890 --> 00:27:49,390 produces supernovas, and stars, and galaxies, and universes, 438 00:27:49,390 --> 00:27:53,010 and the structure of spacetime at the Planck scale. 439 00:27:53,010 --> 00:27:56,090 You're part of this flow of information. 440 00:27:56,090 --> 00:28:00,080 And what you call your body and the complexity 441 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,810 of the biology all around you, the fractal nature 442 00:28:02,810 --> 00:28:05,240 of the trees, and the plants, and everything; 443 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,260 is all an emergence of this information flow, 444 00:28:09,260 --> 00:28:12,770 including what you think of as your consciousness. 445 00:28:12,770 --> 00:28:14,920 [MUSIC PLAYING] 34959
