The Basement: Thomas Campbell | NASA Secrets, Binaural Beats, Simulation Theory

[01:47:30] best physicists of the 20th and the 21st century. They really had open minds. They could go places that nobody was had gone before. They weren't into physicality as a religion. They were just really good scientists and they went where the where the data took them. I think they they were the first ones to say that consciousness is what creates matter and it's not the other way around. >> Every one of them said consciousness is fundamental. Consciousness is at the root. Matter is derivative from [01:48:00] consciousness, but they didn't know how that's possible. You know, we even had Einstein came late to that party. You know, he he rejected it at first, >> but he came late to the party. But there's a letter between him and and David Balm and it says, "Yes, I know that consciousness has to be at the root, but I don't have any idea how to put that into equations or how to deal with that in any way that makes sense. I know it's true, but I just don't know [01:48:30] what to do with it." And those people never heard of virtual reality. So that was not in their not in their set of possibilities that they could think of. >> That's true. >> So they just didn't have a way to oh yeah that could be computed. You know the computers weren't really available then either. So the ideas of virtual reality and computing were just not available. Otherwise they'd all been right on that because that would have solved their problem with with this being information-based [01:49:00] reality. So yes uh I you know once you understand that consciousness is fundamental and you really understand how consciousness works and why it works then you can understand everything else. You know that's why I end up with a toe with a theory of everything. If you understand consciousness everything else comes out of consciousness. Everything else is derived from consciousness. So if you really do understand consciousness by default [01:49:30] without being very clever you can understand everything else because that's just the way the world works. >> Let me ask you then um so unifying unifying relativity with quantum mechanics. Everyone asked you about double slit. >> How does relativity fit in to your theory of everything? Well, relativity, one of the main components of relativity is the fact that the speed of light is a constant. >> Okay, that was the core thing in special [01:50:00] relativity. >> Then relativity went general. And when it went general, it basically uh took the same kind of things that they had in special relativity, but expanded them to include gravity and spacetime. Okay? And then the spaceime is is warped and it causes, you know, gravity. It's like balls rolling down in in a hole. >> And you're still on board with that? >> No. Well, on board, not on board. That is just an idea. It's a theory. It's a [01:50:30] concept. Oh, we can describe gravity as stretched spacetime. Well, you can. You could also describe gravity as masses all attract each other. >> Sure, >> that was Newton's viewpoint, right? All masses attract other masses. And the formula for that is the force between them is G, a gravitational constant time mass 1* mass 2 divided by the square of the distance between their centers. >> Yes. >> Okay. And that's what sent man to the [01:51:00] moon. You know, that's what NASA still uses those because that's simpler to deal with. And unless they're doing things that evolve a necessity to get into time dilation and that if they have a real long mission and it's going high speeds, then they have to deal with relativity. But if they're just going to go up and orbit something or whatever, relativity is not they're not going that fast. >> There still is a little time dilation. >> Oh yeah, sure. [clears throat] They did that that the proof that Einstein was [01:51:30] right was they put a a cesium clock >> Yep. and spun it around Earth a few times on a satellite and brought it back and sure enough it was a little behind and that its partner that had had separated from those and >> yeah so they showed that those are really true. You know the time dilation the the mass goes you know the length contracts and so on with the things going speed. Well, what that little special relativity did is it set all [01:52:00] those things out and it set it out in a way such as you ended up with spacetime where space had time in its variables. You know, if you space equals and there's time in that variable and time equals and there's space over there in that variable that space and time were connected in some way and that caused us spaceime, right? And then gravity just came out of letting spacetime warp and and change according to masses and so [01:52:30] on. So the key there is the speed of light is a constant. That's the only thing that created the special relativity just the speed of light's a constant. Therefore you have the time dilation the mass grow. You have all these things happening just because the speed of light is always a constant. Which means if you have a source of light going half the speed of light and then you turn on a flashlight, [01:53:00] you don't get one and a half times the speed of light. You just get the speed of light. >> Yes. >> And it doesn't matter which way it's going or anything else. It always travels at the same speed. So that is the fundamental mystery behind relativity. So all the relativity is kind of driven by that fact. Now because special relativity was shown to be true, we kind of know that the light that's true. It doesn't go it doesn't speed up. It doesn't slow down. It's either going C or it's not going [01:53:30] anywhere at all. >> Right? >> And that's a little odd because we usually think of particles de accelerating. But it's anyway, so light particles are a little different that way. So why is the speed of light a constant? It's a virtual reality. In a virtual reality, the highest speed that you can go contiguously, you know, not teleporting around, but just going is one delta x, one pixel of distance for one pixel of time. That's it. If you [01:54:00] move every time you update with another pixel of time, then you can't move more than one. And if you move two in a pixel of time, you've just teleported, >> right? >> You've disappeared here and you've appeared over here. But for contiguous space, that means continuous motion. One pixel of distance for one pixel of time. >> And are those pixels that the plank scale? >> So the pixel of distance is the plank length and the pixel of time is plank time. And you divide the length by the time and you get the speed of light. >> Right? >> So as fast as you can go through this [01:54:30] reality is one pixel. The World of Warcraft has a speed limit. >> Sure. >> They've got a certain resolution. That is their delta t. You know, that's how you update a big model. You update it. Every delta t you reddraw where everything is. >> So that's 60 Hz or 120 MHz. >> Yeah. Or whatever. So you you just update things. That's what refresh rate. >> Yeah. It's a refresh rate. >> So the refresh rate drives the action delta t. And the fastest that you can [01:55:00] move contiguously through any reality is one pixel a distance for one pixel at a time. >> Sims has a has a speed limit. Yeah. Every virtual reality has a speed limit. >> Set of rules. >> This is the way it is. If it's a virtual reality, it's pixelated. Time is pixelated. >> Distance is pixelated. It's a virtual reality. It's computed. It's computed on a grid. if you like distance and time [01:55:30] and that means that every virtual reality has a speed limit. Our speed limit is delta t over delt I mean delta x over delta t and there you go. >> How does entanglement work then? >> Well, entanglement is also a simple thing. It's a you have one system and that one system stays one system. It's not in other words the system may like you have a you have a particle and the particle comes in and hits this kind [01:56:00] of special plastic and it stops but two particles come out. >> Yep. >> Okay. Now the two particles come out are entangled. >> Mhm. >> And if you look at the one comes out say this way and one goes out that way. So if you take the the momentum is a vector. >> If you take that vector and say what's the component this way and what's the component this way opposites? Well, they're exactly the same and they [clears throat] cancel out because this one didn't have any right >> momentum in that direction, conservation momentum. >> And you take the component that was in [01:56:30] the forward direction and it's exactly the same as the one that went in. So, they're entangled by the conservation laws. What comes out has to conserve what went in. So, if you have two particles going out, each one's at half the energy, as this one was because they split that, you know. So, anyway, that's the way it works. And then there's all kinds of things get entangled there, but it's all one system. So those two particles come out now. They're actually part of one thing. They're just one [01:57:00] thing that's now in a different configuration. >> But the speed of light doesn't matter to those. >> No, it doesn't matter. So they go off and now they're a million lighty years away. Right? >> If you change this one in a way that changes the momentum, let's say like a spin up or a spin down, that's that's a momentum vector actually. Then the other one changes because the result has to be zero >> because it was zero to start. >> Sure, but how do they communicate? >> They don't communicate. It's all one thing. [01:57:30] >> It's one thing. >> It's one thing. Think of it this way. What if we had a a a big 2x4 and it was a million miles long and we were strong enough that we could just grab it and flip it up, flip it upside down. Well, when we grab it and turn it over, the other area, the other end a million miles away would turn over just the same because it's all one thing, >> right? >> You see, it's all one thing. It's not two separate things. >> It's >> we see those two separate things is just [01:58:00] a configuration of that one thing. And that one thing had certain conservation rules associated with it. So when you do this, that happens because they're all one system. They're not. We look at it and say there's two different physical particles traveling. They're each independent. >> Yes. >> They're not independent. They're connected by the rules of conservation and other things, you know, that connects them. So if this one does something, you do something to this one, then if that, you know, if that breaks [01:58:30] their pattern that defines them, then this the opposite thing has to happen to that one. That sounds like a serious >> so that when so that when you put them back together again, you don't have anything different than what you started with, >> right? >> You see, so if you if you look at it that way, you see it's not two separate particles. It's just those two separate particles make one thing. And when you grab that one thing like that two before that's a million miles long, and you turn it upside down, it turns upside [01:59:00] down a million miles away in the same instant because it's all one thing. >> I don't think most physicists like this. I don't think they like this answer. [laughter] >> No, they probably don't. So then you have you have entanglement. You know, Einstein didn't like entanglement. No, he didn't. >> He said, "God doesn't play with dice, >> right? >> But uh anyway, he got it later on. You know, the proof came out and and he said, "Okay, I'm in." And then he got right into it and work worked with it as well as anybody, but uh he was he was
