The shape of the Cosmos extends to multiple dimensions, and involves many universes other than our own. It takes the shape of a holographic “fractal” cast upon a non-dimensional surface. I say “fractal,” because every layer of our Cosmos is similar to every other layer, it proceeds according to the Fibonacci sequence, and it does appear to bloom similarly to a flower. It also wilts and disintegrates similarly to a flower. The Cosmos appears to spring primarily from light. The first dimension can only comprise an abstract wave coming straight at us, as a dot. As one dimension transforms into two, the initial layers of our Cosmos are described by geometry.

The geometrical law ultimately rests operationally on experiments with light, which is governed by a principle of stationary pathtime: The path-time for the actual path of a light pulse is the same as for all infinitesimally nearby paths, to the first order of approximation. The dynamics tells us how light and all other signals actually propagate, by giving us the quantum phase for various histories. The geometrical law is merely the dynamical one viewed under coarse resolution and restricted to the special case of light signals. Therefore the metric and the dynamics cannot be chosen independently of each other. The quantity that is stationary in the geometrical law is actually the quantum phase of the dynamics, a dimensionless quantity.

It's a bit technical, but provides a very cool "real world" vocabulary for words like "emptiness" or phrases like "stillness in action."

At the heart of this thesis is that over the centuries "reality" has been replaced by "actuality." In other words, nothing is real, actions act upon other actions in a purely relativistic fashion in emptiness.

Here's my favorite quote of 2008:

This one is good too:

I'm a little staggered right now, because the author predicts the convergence of physics and geometry, where geometry is dimensionless physics. I'm writing a book, too, based on my visions. I also saw the dimensionless as non-moving, thus non-physical, but as geometric. I foresee fractal geometry complementing physics to actualize harmonics, and, therefore, inter-dimensional travel. Trippy...

He says "Physics is the search for the Law of Nature." The Buddha says that the purpose of life is Dharma, the Law of Nature. The essence of Dharma is that all is flux in emptiness, a selfless web of interconnected minds, which the enlightened view with compassion as not different from themselves.

Who says mushrooms can't solve world problems? Time swallows space. The square root of truth equals love.

Ho! Ho! Ho!
