Lol. Today the kids interested in everything are diagnosed as attention deficient and medicated until their minds can be pushed back in the box, long before they have the opportunity to figure out how it all fits together.

Looking at the world today, there are quite a few areas that need fresh thinking, but that herd mentality doesn't respond to real deviation.

For instance, would a spiritual absolute be an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell, or the essence of sentience, from which we rise? How many theists would entertain that?

Is money a social contract and accounting device, enabling large societies, or a commodity to mine from them? Try running that by your average billionaire.

Is time the point of the present, moving past to future, that we experience as mobile organisms navigating our context, or is it change turning future to past? As in tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

In which case, there is no literal dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it, aka, causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

So no spacetime, just feedback loops between energy and information.

Try running that bizarre idea past your average theoretical physicist.

Better just stick with string theory.
