And he, of course, had the famous concept called Schrodinger's cat, whereby something can be in two places at any one time, so duality.
and probably plurality and um he wrote a book because you know he he tried to and i've been trying to do this myself for some time which is one of the reasons i'm interested to talk to you today i'm glad we got to it here now um you know trying to reconcile the concept of god with science and uh or concept of something called god i mean you can call it whatever you like but
This whole concept of enshrining it tried to reconcile, this is some time ago, this is like in the 20th century, but that all of our consciousness which possesses us right now whilst we are biologically alive, when we pass, that energy, and it's an energy form,
And, you know, one of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics is that, in terms of physics, is that energy never dies.
It just changes form.
That's called the conservation of energy.
And, as you know, and just for the sake of listenersā¦
that energy has got to go somewhere.
And I think what you're saying and what Schrodinger was saying is it all ends up in this one place.
Now, it's not a place.
It can be connected all around the universe, however big the universe is.
But this universal consciousness is, let's call it God.
It's a thing that makes things happen.
But if you could go beyond one more part of that is that
Are you and me and everybody that we see today and tomorrow in the next 20 years part of a simulation that that consciousness is directing, puppeteering, so to speak?
And, you know, and then we think about, you know, Buddhism and, you know, we sort of come back in another form, you know, that consciousness and gets, let's call it, recycled, right?
These are ancient things, as you know.
I have a very good friend who's a scientist currently in San Francisco, a PhD brain scientist.
And she's been telling me about the number of people that she's been, and like highly regarded, highly peer-reviewed publishers of science, but not biological science.
We're talking about
