I wonder what you make of this then: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/08/160802103535.htm
Seems to indicate the collection of matter and light within a "cavity" they refer to describes a singularity. I'm not a physicists or incredibly smart, but seems like a dead ringer. This quantum memory they talk about at the end is interesting.

Quite right, imo.
Have either of you guys read any literature which aligns with your views in this regard? Would love to have a read, I have a sneaking suspicion this is how I feel too...
I was going to reply to OP, until I read this. Now I'm almost at a loss for words.
Here's one though,
Why?!?!?!?

there are all different theories in physics. That is just one of them
I try and not get blinded by science. they could say any old shit, but unless you have access to their lingo, your not really understanding it anyhow, so how would you REALLY be able to judge if what they said made any sense to your life? So this means that it is both inaccessible to most people and THAT is the fertile ground for creating myths! Whereby you accept a 'reality' some set of 'experts' are telling you is true
It is similar to the religious phase whereby only those who could understand Latin could dictate what the myth was 'really saying and meaning'. So believers would go to Mass, and see the ritual going on done by the priests, and the Latin, and not understand a fkin word being said lol Same is so with science, and it's language. So this renders (can render) the individual feeling powerless, because then you are relying on these people to tell you what life and reality 'really is'

1. I've never heard of or read any credible theory that we are living in a matrix-like simulation. That is absurd. If I'm wrong, please present me with one. 2. Physics 'lingo' is not jargon. Physics terms can be quite simply understood. They're everyday, plain words with definitions almost anyone could understand, given those definitions.
3? It's the oldest science in the book. It doesn't exist to create myths and delude the public. It exists as a way of exploring and understanding the universe. It is the most fundamental way of perceiving and understanding reality. It's not a bloody conspiracy. This baffles me, that someone would say something like this, but just in case you're actually serious, I thought I'd try to shine a light on this for you.
Unless by "lingo" you were referring to the mathematics. In which case, yes, to read anything in algebraic language you must have the necessary preliminary understanding of the mathematical concepts within it. It's logic based arithmetic used to calculate and define concepts relating to whatever it may be. It's a tool used to explain things. It's not a secret code. Anyone with the intellect and determination to learn it can do so. They teach basic algebra in elementary school. They teach basic calculus in high school. At the university level, it's even more fun. No, it's not easy. Yes, it takes time. But it's a required skill. If anyone wants to explain something in physics, it needs to be backed up with the math. Logic, man.
There are numerous theories floating around in the world of theoretical physics. Some do sound pretty bananas, I'll give you that. But without the logic to back them up, they wouldn't even be credible.
Also, there are a handful of great science communicators around nowadays. Folks who put complex theories into layman's terms, host public talks and make TV shows explaining them. Brian Greene, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michio Kaku, just to name a few. This stuff is not inaccessible to Joe Blow. I think it's amazing what these guys are doing for science as a whole, helping teach people with no expertise in related fields about the universe, about the fabric of reality itself. Inspiring more and more people to get involved, encouraging young people to pursue formal education in the sciences.
Fuck knows the world needs more of it.

I'm not into science personally. Don't read about it, don't care to. Neither do I care for what any 'faith' of any sort has laid down. I go by what I feel, by my intuition. And the more I clear my mind, be it via psychedelics or meditation, the more I feel something like this to be the case.

So it's an idea based out of a gut hunch, sheer feeling, and that's it?

Pretty much man. There's nothing much in life I trust more.

I honestly couldn't have said it better myself. So thanks for relaying that message. Also the one about that there's nothing in the world you trust more. I can SOOO relate. It really brings me joy to know others that think like me are out there!

Quite right, imo.
Have either of you guys read any literature which aligns with your views in this regard? Would love to have a read, I have a sneaking suspicion this is how I feel too...
'Science' is but an embodiment of the 'dream' and is no more an absolute than Monopoly rules which are applicable only within the game with minor levels of carryover.
Referencing Kabbalistic text, if a person binds themselves to science than they, by default, imprison themselves to the 1% of 'reality'.
If a person is hung up on science, they render themselves a spiritual agrophobic.
Here's a book which addresses the topic which I thought was very good which reiterated my original viewpoint with some additional teachings relating to quantum physics:

The Holographic Universe: The Revolutionary Theory of Reality by Michael Talbot
Wholeness and the Implicate Order by David Bohm
The Holographic principle is a mainstream theory in modern physics related to string theory. It stipulates that the information contained within a volume of space is encoded at the lower-dimensional boundary of that volume.

See above post. The Holographic principle is actually a respected hypothesis in the physics community.

Answers at the limits if one constructs the proper frame to perceive them......
OP : "What is life?" One begins to maintain a set of answers for that question when they begin constructing frames of inquiry for it in their personal life. There are no shortcuts to deeper perceptions. A more ultimate answer could be given to someone and that individual could fail to grasp it as they lack the ability to perceive what it more truly means.
"How do you feel reality?" This question like many has a near infinite set of answers. Which ones are you looking for?
