That article just blows my mind. I mean, the guy is just entertaining the idea at this time, but I love it. I won't lie - it tickles me that the deeper quantum physics get, the more it starts echoing existing philosophies and spiritual ideas. It's a sort of strange mirror that keeps reflecting, despite some of the reflections hating each other and calling each other wrong. Not saying that one or the other is more important. Hell no.
I'm reminded of the Gnostic thought that this universe is the creation of a less perfect aspect of God the Spirit, the Demiurge. It is His dream and we exist within it. I sort of took that idea and made it my own. I've always seen our existence like a projector. There is the light that makes us, and there's the things that we do, the things that happen to us, and the paths our life take. Then our parts end. But it's not any less real to us, because it's our existence and it's what we all gotta go through. It doesn't lose any of its value for it.
I'm not saying one is proving the other. I just find it very interesting to think about. :)
Man, finding the graininess in the space-time contiuum? I think the Doctor just got a boner at humankind's ingenuity!
