description: From where did life originate? God? Evolution? Panspermia? If the tendency of humans and scientists to regard undiscovered science as pseudoscience can be overcome, Einstein gave another alternative to consider when he introduced General Relativity. Time isn’t linear – progressing in a straight line from past to present to future. That assumption ignores Relativity which states that space AND TIME are curved. Where did life and the genetic code come from? Can the answer build AI? The first question can be answered by the section of this article titled <strong>SETI, Evolution, and Time</strong> which says life and the genetic code came from humans acquiring knowledge of these things over the centuries, then applying that knowledge – via terraforming, accumulation of raw materials like amino acids and nucleic acids, genetic engineering - to a time in the past when life didn’t exist. From that origin, life evolved through innumerable mutations and adaptations, with humans once again acquiring knowledge of it in cyclic (nonlinear) time. The second question is answered by saying artificial intelligence (AI) as the product of life is only half of the equation. The other half refers to Relativity’s curved space-time and violation of the notion that time always travels from past to future. We have always lived in an artificially intelligent, non-probabilistic universe where everything in time and space is connected into one thing by quantum entanglement – making the brain and genes products of binary-digit activity or artificial intelligence (life is not merely dependent on biology’s “lock and key” mechanisms but also possesses AI). The other subheadings in this essay are – <strong>NONLINEAR TIME AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING </strong>(about a 2009 electrical engineering experiment at America’s Yale University, and cosmic wormholes) , <strong>BITS AND TOPOLOGY</strong> (base-2 maths aka Binary digiTS, Mobius strips, and figure-8 Klein bottles) <strong>WICK ROTATION, CAUSALITY, AND UNITING TIME </strong>(do past, present and future co-exist in an “eternal present”?) <strong>DIGITAL BRAIN, DIGITAL UNIVERSE </strong>(if the brain and the universe are ultimately composed of binary digits, we'll someday be able to do the same things with the brain and universe that we now do with computers) <strong>PROPOSAL: HUMAN AND ANIMAL INSTINCTS ARE THE RESULT OF THE UNIVERSE BEING UNIFIED BY BINARY DIGITS (AND TOPOLOGY) </strong>(If everything in the universe is ultimately composed of electronic BITS, then the universe must possess Artificial Intelligence - some prefer the term Cosmic Consciousness) <strong>INFORMATION THEORY CONQUERS A RED GIANT </strong>(preserving Earth by keeping the Sun near today’s level of activity forever).
description: May I suggest a mechanism for the subjective passage of time flowing from past to present to future that has an objective reality which is a familiar mechanism to people? It's the DVD we buy in stores and put in a player to watch movies. Time can be visualized as a possibly infinite and eternal Cosmic DVD where Wick rotation follows pathways similar to those of a DVD player's laser (astronomy once believed all planetary orbits were circular then discovered they're elliptical - physics will realize that Wick rotation isn't perfectly circular but is spiral, with an incredibly narrow data track). The data track would be composed of the BITS or BInary digiTS making up the Mobius strips that are basic to all space-time, bosons and fermions. The data would be built into - a subroutine of - the Mobius strips and our brains and consciousnesses take the place of the DVD player's laser, moving in its spiral track. This proposal also allows a degree of freedom to our thoughts and actions. DVDs - including the Cosmic DVD in which everyone's an actor - don't magically appear and force us to live pre-determined lives. They have writers, actors, producers, directors, people working with hair and makeup and costumes and props, etc.* We don't have total freedom because we live In the Block Universe where every point in the future co-exists with, and influences, the present - compelling our thoughts and actions to follow the path which leads to that future. * William Shakespeare agrees that we're all actors in a Cosmic DVD in his play "As You Like It". In terms familiar to 420 years ago he writes, "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts." (Act 2, Scene 7)
