"There would not be two things to know -- the law and the state -- but only one, which unifies them into a meta-configuration that contains information about both. This idea accords with the hypothesis that all that's real is real in the present moment."
~Lee Smolin, leading theoretical physicist, in his book Time Reborn, on his hypothesis of a single meta-law of physics that underlies all other laws of physics.

He's just saying that actuality is whole, and that wholeness is happening only now.
"Truth is One; sages speak of it in various ways."
~Rig Veda
... including when those sages are leading theoretical physicists.
The context, in Smolin's book, is that this understanding of wholeness must inform scientific theory, or that it will not be possible for quantum physics and cosmology to get past the roadblocks they are currently facing.
Specifically, he's making the point that there must be an underlying, yet to be discovered, unified "meta-law" where the principle and the actuality that any accurate principle is describing are not conceived as separate in any way ... which is the exact same thing that can be realized, according to the teachings of many traditions, and the experience of many people, about accurate spiritual teachings and the actuality that they describe.
Which is all refreshing and encouraging to see, I'd say ... especially when stated by a leading, highly-respected theoretical physicist.

Excellent. Thank you. Nassim Haramein is also on the edge of the unified field theory. Using sacred geometry to merge quantum and cosmic.  |
