I saw a video ("Hidden Dimensions: Exploring Hyperspace" - http: //www.worldsciencefestival.com/hidden-dimensions) in which it was stated that mathematicians are free to imagine anything while physicists work in a very different environment constrained by experiment, and that the American physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988) said scientists work in a straitjacket. Well, Albert Einstein (1879-1955) said "Imagination is more important than knowledge" so let's see what happens when we throw away everyday tradition and conformity, let our imaginations fly (while trying to stay grounded in science and technology), and thus release science from its straitjacket! This little book has its beginnings in cellular automata (in mathematics and computer science, collections of cells on a grid that evolve through a number of discrete time steps according to a set of rules based on the states of neighbouring cells) and grew into a belief that the universe (electromagnetism, gravitation, space-time and, as we'll see, 5th dimensional hyperspace) has a digital (electronic) foundation. This belief can be supported by 11 steps that begin with an experiment in electrical engineering at Yale University in the USA. These steps logically lead to assertions of instant intergalactic travel, time travel into the past as well as the future (neither of which can be altered), of unification of the large-scale universe with small-scale quantum particles, that the universe is a computer-generated hologram, that everyone who ever lived can have eternal life and health, that motion is an illusion caused by the rapid display of digitally generated "frames", that the entire universe is contained in (or unified with) every one of its particles, that the terms "computer-generated" and "computer" do not necessarily refer to an actual machine sending out binary digits or qubits, that we only possess a small degree of free will, that humanity could have created our universe and ourselves though unification physics says a being called God must nevertheless exist and likewise be Creator, and that Einstein's E=mc squared equation could be modified for the 21st century, reflecting the digital nature of reality. Though these things may be unbelievable in 2011, we should not ignore the possibilities of their being true or of their showing that reality is basically digital because they are the logical product of already demonstrated electrical engineering and trips into space, science is investigating time travel and unification, the notion of motion has been suspect to some ever since the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea (490?-420? B.C.) argued that motion is absurd, and many religions worldwide speak of God and have some concept of survival of bodily death.
About the Author: G´day from the Land Down Under! To be exact: from a town called Stanthorpe, which is in the southern part of the state Queensland, in Australia. I´m a guy who was born in this town in 1956. At age 15, I left High School to become an apprentice printer at the local newspaper. "Humans and their Universes" is my 3rd book. It takes a practical approach to physics' holy grail of cosmic unification using an experiment in electrical engineering performed in 2009. It lists the steps from that experiment to our travelling to the stars (indeed, anywhere in the entire universe) INSTANTLY. We'll also learn how to travel through time and how to scientifically use ESP (extra-sensory perception) and telekinesis (psychokinesis). And we'll see that science and religion have always, and always will be, intimately related (e.g. we'll see that humans created this universe but, paradoxically, there definitely is an all-powerful God). In 1999, my writings went online when my computer-whiz brother Darryl set up a website for me (I called it "Rod´s Room"). This book is also dedicated to the other immediate members of my family - Dad, Mum, and sister Allison; my extended family; and everyone I've ever met, for giving me good memories and learning experiences. After 3 years, I changed my Internet Service Provider in an attempt to escape the spammers. That turned out to be Mission Impossible ... and I managed to lose my website in the process (the old ISP deleted it). I've been writing this book since the 1970s and it's a total obsession with me. At first my ideas were few and far between but they developed into short articles within a few years and a little paperback in 2006 (I figured getting a POD - Print On Demand - publisher to print my ideas was the only way I'd ever get published). In the last 5 years, my ideas have taken off like wildfire and my simple goal is to share them. In 2009, this resulted in a revised version of my first book which I think is more complete and written much better. The 1st book was called "Rod's Room - A New Earth and A New Universe" while the 2nd book is simply "A New Earth and A New Universe". Then, in 2010, I took a few ideas from the 2nd book, combined them with a few entirely new ideas of mine, and produced "Humans and their Universes". In 2011, I did some more combining (does this mean I'm basically lazy?), making "Pinocchio Fiction" from my 2009 and 2010 books. I wonder if there is any more writing hiding inside me?
