One Question To Deeply Ponder: Plato and The E8 Crystal?
![E8 with Plato.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmRgGNyw82an8328oHtX6xzjqQ8f3RsKT6QLcBmuNtoGai/E8%20with%20Plato.jpg)
What if, similar to the people in Plato's "Allegory of the Cave", our "Reality" is simply our 3D perception of a Quasicrystal representation of the E8 Crystal in Emergence Theory?
Currently, "The Modified String Theory" by Michio Kaku is regarded as the best, most feasible "Theory of Everything" to date. However, a new "Theory of Everything" is gaining popularity and is called "Emergence Theory".
Neither random, nor deterministic, Emergence Theory states that reality is non-deterministic (possessing a capacity for free-will) and is composed of pure information.
See this video:
"Emergence Theory: A Layperson's Guide"
This 29:42 minute video is hilariously entertaining, thought provoking, and jam-packed full of new ways of thinking about reality, consciousness, and the inherent power of merely observing something (literally) into existence.
A treasure chest bounty of intriguing concepts (from recognized academic physicists) and a bunch of excellent videos about Emergence Theory can be found at:
Submitted for your free moments to ponder.

About the Author
Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.

Eh....You have a way of putting across your philosophical thoughts, @jaichai
Thanks for reading my musings.
Namaste, JaiChai
The pleasure, as always, is mine. Thanks
