Did you know that it is impossible to tell the difference between reality and an illusion?

Did you know that it is impossible to tell the difference between “the past” and implanted memories?

Did you you know that we are only 30 years away from technologies that could completely fool us through implanted memories and full-scale total-immersion reality simulations?

So how do we know we’re not already there???

Many of us have seen movies like “The Matrix” or “The 13th Floor”, or have read works of Science Fiction that explore alternative views of reality, so these concepts are not new. However, what might be surprising is that the evidence is overwhelming that we already live in a programmed reality!

Although my career has consisted mostly of various positions in the high tech corporate world, punctuated by the occasional entrepreneurial venture, I have always been fascinated by physics and cosmology. I seem to be driven by the need to understand what makes the world tick, both on a subatomic scale as well as a cosmological scale. A few years ago, while doing research for my original concept for a book (which had more to do with Einstein’s relativity), I was struck by the similarity between the discrete nature of reality (according to quantum physics) and the structure of a computer-generated online virtual realty game, aka Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game, or MMORPG.

It takes an infinite amount of resources to create a continuous reality, but a finite amount to create a quantized reality. The very nature of the computational mechanisms of a computer are essentially the same as Quantum Mechanics – a sequence of states, with nothing existing or happening between the states. The resolution of any program is analogous to the spatial resolution of our reality, just at a different level. And actually, given Moore’s law and the limitations of “observational reality”, we should be able to create Virtual Realities that are indistinguishable from our current reality within 30 years or so. The very fact that our reality is quantized may be considered strong evidence that reality is programmed.

But there is much more. Logical arguments from the field of philosophy imply that we are most certainly living in a simulation. The incredibly fine-tuned nature of the universe suggests an underlying well-designed construct, which is a far simpler solution than the scientific status quo explanation. And then there is a huge set of scientific and metaphysical anomalies, all of which can be explained by this model, the only model to be able to do so. Not to mention direct experience by shamans and alternative reality experiencers throughout the world and history.

I wrote the book for the general audience, for anyone who is curious to explore theories of reality, theories of the universe, altered states, life’s little anomalies, coincidences, the feeling that someone is watching over us, multiverses, higher dimensions, artificial intelligence, and the upcoming merge with machines.

The evidence is actually all around us, within us, and present in every decision we make. This book may completely change the way you look at your world, your life, your friends and family, and the PC on your desk.

My website, http://www.theuniversesolved.com, provides a forum for exploration, for people to share their ideas, to interact with AI, and to discover the dimensions of our world. Hope to see you there!

The book is published by AT Press.
