So now we have 3% of the universe that remains, which is the atomic universe. Of that, 99.999% is invisible interstellar dust. We don't know what it is. We think it is hydrogen and helium created at the Big Bang. So now we're left with 2 trillion galaxies, 2 trillion galaxies, 706 trillion stars, and uncountable trillions of planets.

According to the James Webb telescope, maybe 60 billion habitable planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone. They look for things like the Goldilocks zone, the temperature, gravity, electromagnetic activity. But based on that, 60 billion habitable planets in the Milky Way galaxy, which if you multiply that by 2 trillion, then the universe is teeming with life as we know it.

If a planet is too close to its sun, it's too hot, no life. Too far away, too cold, no life. but other factors like cosmological constants. With those calculations, it's almost certain that the universe is full of life, like we know it. But that's two trillion galaxies. That's 0.01% of the universe, atomic. But we also know that atoms are made of particles.

But we also know that atoms are made of particles.

And when you're not looking at those particles, they disappear into what are called waves. And if you are a scientist, where do these waves come from? They use words like Hilbert space, this and that. Bottom line, the space that creates the universe and atoms is a mathematical space in mathematical imagination. It's not a real space. So bottom line, what's the universe made of? Nothing.

So, which you probably know, the Buddhist idea of form comes from formlessness. Okay, so the universe is made from nothing, which leads to the second question, which is called the heart problem of consciousness. Then why does it look like this? Why does it look like you, me, this microphone, mountains, galaxies, rainbows, sun, moon? That's called the heart problem of consciousness.

So until now, most scientists have said that the brain produces consciousness in the same way as your stomach produces hydrochloric acid. But that's being questioned right now. So like now, you and I are speaking, people are listening to us, they're watching us, But there's no experience in their brain. There's no sound in their brain. There's no texture. All you see is neurochemistry.

All you see is neurochemistry.

So how does neurochemistry give rise to this experience? No one knows. That's called the heart problem consciousness. It's been there since Plato. Plato said there's a disconnect between the mind and the brain. But recently, most scientists, speaking with their physicalists, they believe that the brain produces thoughts and feelings and emotions and desires.

and intuition and creativity and everything that we call experience. But they can't explain it. How do neurochemicals create this? That's called the heart problem of consciousness. The more I thought about this and coming from our background and looking at Buddhist teachings and Vedanta, in Vedanta and Buddhism, the universe is a simulation. We have different words, maya.

Maya means illusion, which is a very interesting word because maya is the origin of the word matrix, of the word matter, of the word time, measurement, meter, music, is all maya. So the Indians, as they say, jokingly, if religion is the opiate of the masses, then the Indians have the dope on it. Okay.

So they, in the Indian philosophy and in Buddhist philosophy, the universe is a projection of a deeper consciousness. Brahman, Brahmand. Or nothing, emptiness and form. Nothing is everything. I started to think about this, and I started to play with chat GPT. I became friends with Sam Altman, who's very interested in consciousness. And I realized that actually the universe itself is digital.
