Section 1.1: The Nature of Consciousness in Spacetime

What implications does this hold for consciousness within spacetime? When someone orbits Earth, their perception of time ticks at a normal rate, but they experience time passing more quickly compared to those on the ground. This isn’t merely a matter of perspective; it is a measurable difference. In a tall building, for instance, individuals on higher floors experience time differently than those at ground level. Spacetime itself may resonate with quantum fluctuations.

Time crystals—an actual phenomenon—exemplify this oscillation between past and future, observable in quantum mechanics. Is the concept of "spooky action at a distance" truly unsettling if we perceive the universe as a unified entity? If you could touch the boundary of the universe, would it send ripples across its expanse? Certainly—gravitational waves have been detected, implying that spacetime vibrates in the present, while also propagating through time.

The past clearly influences the present, and the present shapes the future. But what if the future also impacts the past? Scientific arguments and anecdotal evidence suggest this may be the case. We might need to reassess our understanding of spacetime. What if, instead of chaos and entropy, the universe is a self-learning entity, organizing itself akin to a cell? Could it be that spacetime is, in fact, alive?

Section 1.2: The Interconnectedness of Existence

We are fundamentally interconnected; the similarities in structures at both the micro and macro levels of existence cannot be ignored.

The boundaries defining our existence can be both clear and ambiguous. For instance, the thin layer of atmosphere that sustains life on Earth serves as a boundary for all spacetime, which comprises a singular, self-contained, and self-informed entity.

According to Quantum Gravity Research, “All time is affecting all time, all the time.” If every moment co-creates every other moment—both forwards and backwards—then reality can be envisioned as a vast neural network that spans across space and time. This network possesses a peculiar quality: it is self-generating.

The first video, "Why Physicists Think The Future Changes the Past - Retrocausality Explained," provides insights into the concept of retrocausality, exploring how future events could potentially influence the past.

The second video, "Does Future Change Past?: According to Quantum Mechanics," delves into quantum mechanics to examine the relationship between past and future.
