In the first hour RL used an interesting example about space & time. Referencing a vinyl record & a needle that can access all those lines & grooves but only at one point & line at a time. A hard drive provides a more in depth analogy to the cosmic wheel metaphor. The universe as a vast egg or sphere containing several levels of discs of data & energy like a HD. Wheels stacked upon wheels. Indeed, J A Wheeler had made several observations about reality throughout his career. RL mentioned the multiverse concept which could liken the universe as a series of hard drives & galaxies as DVDs. RL also mentioned future AI algorithms, VR & the movie, Somewhere in Time. In the last hour, a caller called in & talked about the Philadelphia Experiment. What are some of the implications of a holographic universe?
