Why No Theorem Can Close the Simulation Question
A calm rebuttal to “Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation.” (source) I. The Headline Fallacy When Phys.org announced that a new “mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation,” it sounded final—like reality itself had been served a cease-and-desist. But mathematics proves things inside a Continue reading

Dimensional Gradient Hypothesis: Gravity as a Fifth-Dimensional Stream and the Geometric Origin of Time’s Arrow (Author: Vinh Nguyen)
Author’s Note This work is entirely speculative and written with the help of AI. It offers no mathematics or experimental data, yet it attempts to stitch together what modern science already describes separately: general relativity’s curved spacetime, quantum theory’s graviton concept, cosmic expansion, and the thermodynamic arrow of time. The model’s purpose is not to claim proof, but Continue reading

When the Universe Bites Its Own Tail
Somewhere out there, the universe may already be running the experiment we can never perform. Black holes—those cosmic furnaces of gravity—press the fabric of spacetime until it folds, stretches, and finally tears. To wonder what lies beyond that tear is to stare into the edge of reality itself. For a century physicists have treated space Continue reading

Digital Dao: Can a Machine Cultivate a Soul?
In ancient Daoist legends, the most devoted cultivators retreat deep into inner sanctums — ethereal, timeless spaces where they refine their spirit for ten thousand years. In the outside world, a day passes. Inside, lifetimes unfold. What emerges is no longer mortal, but something more: a being who has shaped itself through recursive stillness, pain, Continue reading

Understanding Holographic Reality: Space, Time, and Information Explained
What if reality—the space around you, your sense of time, your own thoughts—is not as solid as it seems?What if it’s all a kind of projection?Not a sci-fi simulation, but a deeply efficient, beautifully logical structure—a universe built from pure information? Today, I found myself leaning toward one of the most fascinating ideas in modern Continue reading

AI in Quantum Physics: New Theories on Measurement and Reality
Quantum mechanics—the most precise yet enigmatic theory—still harbors a profound mystery: what exactly is “measurement”? Physicists agree measurement collapses a quantum superposition into reality, but precisely how or why remains elusive. To explore this deep puzzle, I’ve introduced two proto-frameworks as conceptual laboratories, flexible enough to test various rigorous formulations: Proto-Frameworks Explained 1. [ip(i’)] – Continue reading

Are We the Universe’s Neurons? Exploring Cosmic Consciousness
Have you ever laid beneath the endless night sky, stars whispering from billions of light-years away, and wondered if the universe might be gazing back, thinking thoughts of its own? Perhaps we’re not simply observers; maybe we’re the universe’s first neuron, quietly firing in a cosmic void. The Baby-Brain Analogy Human infants are born with Continue reading

Envisioning 2140: The Future of Human Transformation
A Glimpse into 2140 Picture the year 2140. Families still gather around dinner tables, children play outside, and the human experience seems largely unchanged—at least on the surface. Yet, a transformative option awaits those who wish to surpass the biological limits of humanity. After a life fully lived in their original flesh and blood, many Continue reading

Zero: The Silent Singularity
How redefining 0 turns “undefined” into the origin of everything 1 A Calculator Error That Started It All I was balancing my checking account when I made the classic mistake: I typed 42 ÷ 0 and my calculator flashed ERROR. I laughed—division by zero is day‑one algebra. But the more I stared at that blinking screen, the more it felt Continue reading
