Navigating Consciousness and Health Uncertainty

Are We Inside a Computer Simulation? with Tom Campbell

Tom Campbell, a physicist, is author of the three volume set, My Big TOE, describing a meta-theory that offers an account of the paranormal, as well as other scientific mysteries. He is also the founder of the Center for Unification of Science and Consciousness. His website is https://www.my-big-toe.com/

In this 3.5 hour video, he explains that his meta-theory is based on the absolute foundational primacy of consciousness. He points out that the larger consciousness system both creates the simulation in which we exist and interacts with it. He claims that many difficult scientific problems are resolved through this model, including the anthropic cosmological principal, tiny fluctuations observed in the speed of light, and the reality of paranormal phenomena.
