In my quest to figure out existence, I felt it liberating to sum up my conclusions and hunches this far in the most concise form possible. Although none of my conclusions are permanent, they serve as stepping stones for further research. My hunches are mere pointers to research directions.
| Question | Hunch | Conclusion |
| Is space and time discrete? | Yes – and this is supported by what I consider to be the most promising cosmological theory to date, “Loop Quantum Gravity”. | |
| What is gravity? | It is the force mediated by the spin 2 boson “Graviton”. Einstein’s “space curvature” is in reality gravitons acting on matter and time. | |
| What is dark matter? | Gravitons have tiny mass and may even be self-interacting. This cater for the lacking gravitation pull needed to explain why galaxies can rotate faster than the visible matter would allow for. | |
| What is dark energy? | Dark energy is a name to describe why the universe seems to accelerate over time. This may be explained by the combination of vacuum energy with a graviton of non-zero mass. | |
| Do black holes really exist? | Perhaps, but without any singularity. Quantum laws such as the Pauli Exclusion Principle stops gravity from collapsing fermions into a singularity. An event horizon may still exist, though. | |
| Will we ever devise a Theory of Everything? | No. A ToE is described as “a hypothetical single, all-encompassing, coherent theoretical framework of physics that fully explains and links together all physical aspects of the universe”… which was proven impossible by Kurt Gödel and his Incompleteness Theorems. | |
| Is the universe infinite? | No. But there is no end to it – as long as consciousness creates more, there is more universe to be observed. | |
| Is the universe real? | No, it is created every discrete moment by consciousness. We see what we see because we create it. The universe is the sum of a massive co-creation of all consciousnesses involved. | |
| Is there free will? | Yes. Potential free will, when exercised is consciousness which in turn observe its own creations. Existence is not pre-determined or deterministic. | |
| What happens when I die? | I get a reboot – out of and into the game of life. I arrive back at a higher understanding and get to participate in the game of life with a different identity in a different body. Much like ending a computer game only to start another. | |
| Higher level of understanding? Are there many such “levels”? | It’s not “levels” per se, but rather many plateaus or layers like an onion. The movie “Matrix” is an excellent metaphor for my fractal view of existence. | |
| Which world view is ultimately the correct one? | All of them |
… To be revised and revised and re…
