New Book Suggests Our Universe May Exist Inside of a Computer

Have the unexplainable phenomena surrounding quantum physics finally been explained? Are they the telltale signs of a universe existing inside of an Information System?

Not IMPOSSIBLE! How Our Universe May Exist Inside of a Computer demonstrates that the surprising answer may be "Yes!" ...

Scottsdale, AZ, April 1, 2004 - Quantum physicists have for decades been talking about the universe in terms of information, as if it were all just information somehow, a concept that flies in the face of our everyday experience of materiality and the material world. Now, in his newly released book, Not Impossible!, AI researcher G. Wells Hanson demonstrates how the world may be all just information after all, and that our universe shows many surprising signs of somehow existing inside of an information system.

To support this remarkable explanation of quantum physics, the book goes outside of physics and advances solutions for several of humanities most intractable problems, solutions that have resulted directly from advances in AI and brain research. In Not Impossible! you will find:

• Almost two-dozen signs that our universe behaves like a program running in a computer.

• A two-sided demonstration of how our material world does not materially exist.

• Why the quantum itself always occurs in a computer driven universe.

• A fun, hands on, demonstration that even our human bodies must be totally imaginary. 

• A new model of how the brain works and models the world using its network structure.

• A new explanation of human understanding, cognition, déjà vu, familiarity, and more.

• A powerful, and programmable, AI algorithm based on this brain/network model, and which spontaneously mimics the quantum universe.

  The book purports to give us a handle into what the ancient Greek Logos really is, and explains such mysteries as why the universe is describable with mathematics. It proposes that our difficulty solving the really big picture results from our thinking too small. "Physics mimics the world in terms of mathematics and logic, and the results are so confusing", Hanson says, "because they are examined out of context. To understand these seeming mysteries we must view them within the context of recent advances in information science and cognitive science, our perception of materiality, and how we humans understand, and mentally represent the world." Within this context, all of those seemingly mysterious quantum phenomena become explained, even obvious. In short, Not Impossible!, with its new vision of reality, offers us a possible solution to the big picture, what's really behind it all.

Shaun Holmes, MA, and high school math teacher, describes Not Impossible! as “…an intellectual thrill-ride that takes us from our everyday world, to a place where I question my very existence… and there’s no going back! I think it really has the potential to stir the pot.”
