There is no “outside.” No other system. The universe is not on a computer. It is the computer. It is the thing performing the computation. It doesn’t need anyone watching it. It doesn’t need a server farm or a control panel. It simply is what it is: a system that processes information according to its own rules. In other words, when we talk about the universe as a quantum computer, we’re not saying it’s pretending to be real. We’re saying this is what real is.

Quantum Physicists Are Suggesting the Multiverse Might Be the Mind of God
In this episode, we dive deep into a radical theory gaining traction in the world of quantum physics — the idea that the multiverse might not just exist… it might think. From entangled particles and holographic codes to theories of cosmic consciousness, discover why some physicists and philosophers are asking: Is the universe the brain of God?
We explore:
🔹 The latest quantum discoveries that blur the line between matter and mind
🔹 How neural networks and the cosmos might share a hidden blueprint
🔹 Why ancient spiritual insights may align with cutting-edge science
🔹 And whether your consciousness could be part of a much larger mind
Beyond Metaphor: Is Our Universe Literally a Brain? | Full Documentary
What if the sprawling cosmic web of galaxies, spanning billions of light years, shares striking similarities with the neural circuitry in our heads? In this video, we delve deep into recent research showing that the “cosmic filaments” binding galaxy clusters might parallel the intricate networks of neurons and synapses in our brains. Join us as we unpack how these two vastly different scales—microscopic neural tissue and a universe-sized lattice of galaxies—can exhibit comparable statistical patterns, structural motifs, and even “self-organizing” behaviors. We begin by exploring why the universe looks “networked,” discussing how gravitational interactions form cosmic filaments linking superclusters. We then compare this to neural connectivity, where billions of neurons form complex circuits of short- and long-range synapses. Along the way, we examine tools like high-resolution imaging, cosmological simulations, and graph theory—methods that let us treat both the human brain and the universe as interconnected networks. We’ll see how “nodes and bridges” are crucial in each system: neurons form local clusters bridged by long axons, just as galaxies clump into clusters connected by filaments. Next, we tackle the concept of self-organization: in the brain, synaptic plasticity continually reshapes circuits based on use, while in the cosmos, gravitational collapse sculpts voids and filaments from early quantum fluctuations. We also discuss information theory, where the brain balances order and entropy during perception and learning, while the cosmos develops “local pockets of order” (galaxy clusters) in a largely expanding universe. Finally, we address the hotly debated notion of “cosmic consciousness”—whether the universe “thinks” as a brain does or whether these parallels simply highlight universal design principles in nature, rather than any form of cosmic mind. If you’re curious about how cutting-edge simulations, entropy analyses, and network science bridge neuroscience and astrophysics, this video is for you. Get ready to see both the cosmos and your own brain in a whole new light!

Prof. Robert Temple | A New Science of Heaven | Origins Conference
The Origins Conference took place on 2nd November 2024. Purchase the archived live-stream here: https://originsconference.co.uk. The talk begins with an update on Esna Temple Project in Egypt which Robert has been funding. In the main part of the talk Robert shares new knowledge from the most recent advances in a little-known area of science and how this matches many accounts surviving down the ages from mystics, meditators, people who have survived near-death experiences, inspired sages and shamans, and experiences from dreams and trance states. Robert takes the view that it is reasonable to be sceptical, but can understand how these altered states may have been used in the past to access awareness of the elusive and apparently immaterial ‘Other World’ by shamans and seers over the millennia. Scientific progress is now sufficiently advanced to enable a world of the spirit to be described and explained in a rigorous fashion for the first time. The advances made in the plasma physics in recent years provides a mathematical and physical basis to describe the soul, or spirit. These advances make it possible to understand ghosts, for complex plasmas can pass through walls and emerge the same on the other side (Indeed, they can pass through each other and survive intact as well). The ‘Other World’ is material, but it is a different kind of matter. Prof. Temple is author of a dozen challenging and provocative books, commencing with the international best-seller, The Sirius Mystery. His books include The Sphinx Mystery, Netherworld, The Crystal Sun, and The Genius of China. He is visiting Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and previously held a similar position at an American university. For many years he was a science writer for the Sunday Times, the Guardian, and writer for Time-Life, Nature and The New Scientist. He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and has been a member of the Egypt Exploration Society since the 1970s. With his wife, Olivia, he is co-author and translator of the first complete English version of Aesop’s Fables. He has done archaeometric dating work and exploration of closed sites in Egypt and his research into historical accounts of the Sphinx is the first comprehensive survey ever undertaken. http://www.robert-temple.com
How To Harness The Power Of “Magic” (Scientifically Proven) w/ Dean Radin PhD
Have you ever experienced psychic phenomena? How about an experience that could only be regarded as “magic”?It’s more than likely you have, considering a survey conducted where over 90% of participants, all being scientific academics, reported to have had at least one of these experiences in their life. Today’s podcast is with Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Dean has an impressively prestigious background- with a Masters degree in electrical engineering and a PhD in psychology, he has spent decades engaged in research on the frontiers of consciousness, with over 100 peer-reviewed studies and author of numerous books. In our discussion, we discuss the gamut of magical experiences, including; telepathy, clairvoyance, levitation, manifestation, sigils, and more. We dive into the scientific studies that validate these kinds of experiences, discuss the history of suppression, and posit the potential of our future if we begin to harness these abilities
Michael Levin – Why Intelligence Isn’t Limited To Brains.
Professor Michael Levin explores the revolutionary concept of diverse intelligence, demonstrating how cognitive capabilities extend far beyond traditional brain-based intelligence. Drawing from his groundbreaking research, he explains how even simple biological systems like gene regulatory networks exhibit learning, memory, and problem-solving abilities. Levin introduces key concepts like “cognitive light cones” – the scope of goals a system can pursue – and shows how these ideas are transforming our approach to cancer treatment and biological engineering. His insights challenge conventional views of intelligence and agency, with profound implications for both medicine and artificial intelligence development. This deep discussion reveals how understanding intelligence as a spectrum, from molecular networks to human minds, could be crucial for humanity’s future technological development. Contains technical discussion of biological systems, cybernetics, and theoretical frameworks for understanding emergent cognition.

Water Memory (2014 Documentary about Nobel Prize laureate Luc Montagnier
Water is the key element of life, but new information is coming to light on the element which we thought we were so familiar with: information which could potentially reimagine our tree of life. That is the belief shared by the advocates of a surprising theory called “water memory”. For Prof. Luc Montagnier, water has the ability to reproduce the properties of any substance it once contained. Water would have the ability to retain a memory of the properties of the molecules. What if Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, autism, HIV and even cancer could be treated thanks to this controversial theory?
