The Self-generative universe (a universe from nothing) - Ostronomos - Jul 15, 2026
The supernatural features of existence are best explained by a self-generative universe (a simulation to put it another way). General relativity emerges from the atoms of the microscopic. Physics as we know it emerges from an underlying structure.
In essence, this would lead to the conclusion that the macroscopic, classical world is less real than the microscopic quantum world. Our universe in essence is computational, projected from a computational reality - one that is more real than the world we see around us.
We are computationally bounded observers.

The difference between nothing and everything is just a matter of perspective.

Ok, what does this have to do with the supernatural.
All supernatural phenomenon are due to the universe behaving like a computer. Complete with processing capabilities. If something were to suddenly pop into existence out of thin air and disappear in a flash due to the observer creating reality, that would be an example of self-generation.

No where did he talk about two realities. And, nothing about something being less real than the other.
Maybe, if everything is reducible to a single equation.
Or perhaps that is just the way our mind works.
If everything were reducible to a single equation that in itself would be evidence at least for the possibility that our universe has bizarre features analogous to quantum bits. It would hint at an ultimate source for all existence. The much vaunted TOE is a prime example of the possibility of the supernatural. I only say this because I hope to link the supernatural with science.
