Simultaneity and Times Illusion
We now understand as one thing what was once believed to be separate phenomena. I am, of course, talking of Space-time. It was Relativity theory which revealed that the synchronicity…
Measurements and Reality
It’s perplexing to me how physicists speak about measurements and consciousness as if they are separate and distinct things when they are not. Ontologically speaking their source reveals the clue…
Quantum Fields and Reality
The great and irreconcilable chasm between our experience of reality and Reality itself can be described by the verb ‘manifest, i.e., to appear. Conscious being is a manifest phenomenon. As…
Memory and the Future
Much is made in Physics about the fact that time does not have a direction. Physics and its equations appear to describe an accurate representation of reality, yet time has…
Hidden Variables
Einstein’s famous quote, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one.”, contains within it the key to the very thing he and his collaborators were looking for, ie. hidden…
Introduction to “Gita: Between the Unknowable and the Unreal”
There is a saying, “It is easier to put on slippers than to carpet the world.” In essence it is telling us that rather than trying to change the circumstances…

What Does TotIs Reality ‘Look’ Like?
In this blog I’ve spent a lot of time exploring the attributes of antIs reality and the underlying bio-sensory process that makes it so nearly impossible to accept as an…
Are We Living In A Simulation?
Professor Brian Greene was recently featured in a Huffington Post video piece titled “Are We Living In a Simulation?” It is a most interesting piece, and well worth watching. The…
Does God Play Dice?
To us observers, the universe is a place of random activity and outcomes. Regardless of our seeming ability, from our vantage point, to manipulate our environment and to control the…
Wherefore Consciousness
Dictionary.com defines consciousness as: The state of being conscious; knowledge of one’s own existence, condition, sensations, mental operations, acts, etc. And thus it goes, from dictionary to dictionary. I propose…
Unbound Perspective
We experience space utilizing the same process that our bio-sensory system uses to create all of our experiences of reality. In that experience we are the nexus. The closer to…
16mm Reality, the Movie
We seem to be able to view, with complete detachment, the comings and goings, through space time, of matter and energy in the universe, no matter how complex, strange, or…
Here and Now or Where and When
With the advent of Relativity theory and the integration of what was once considered two separate things, space and time, into a single and connected space-time continuum, we must reformulate…
The Observer and the Knower
How is it that we know anything at all about the world? What is the nature of this knowledge? We have learned and discovered things about our world, like the…
Reality Beyond Observation
Since antIs reality was defined in the book TotIs, a number of words have been utilized to describe its nature. They are; interpretation, fabrication, creation, process, product and illusion. Depending…
The Bell’s Un-equality: How Anthropocentrism Occludes the Nature of Space-Time and Reality
In the book TotIs, I used a metaphor of bread making to show how the biologically produced antis experience of reality is of a separate class than totIs reality. There…
Bell’s Inequality and the free-will loophole
Physicist Alain Aspect, PhD, is an expert in the Einstein Podolski Rosen Experiment (EPR), and his work on verifying, through his own experiments, the breaching of Bell’s inequality is second…
Bio-Clocks and the antIs experience of times arrow
A reminder: All of the posts in this blog are written for readers who have already read TotIs, where the concepts of TotIs and AntIs reality are carefully and thoughtfully…
Wave-Particle Illusion
No matter how convincing the proof that our antIs experience of reality is a manufactured and inaccurate proxy for actual reality, it is just plain impossible to believe that what…
