Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Susskind is my favorite theoretical physicist. He has an awesome MIT lecture series on string theory. He reminds me of the old hitman guy from breaking bad and mixed with Richard Feynman.
Interestingly (and this has been mentioned here several times before), in the CBB model, the proton is what Gordon Wolter called a 'microscale black hole analog'. Calling it an "analog" is just a matter of semantics really, since the proton is a BH in the sense that it's replete with its own event horizon, spin, N/S spin axis, and central singularity.
Anyhow, Susskind's talk about entanglement via 'wormhole networks' and Einstein/Rosen bridges brings up some fascinating thoughts. Connectivity via these bridges and networks is pictured as "reaching across". It's pictured as operating in a lateral or 'horizontal' sense.
To me, this 'reaching across' via wormholes and bridges has always felt more metaphorical than literal. It feels more like a euphamism or heuristic illustration. I still couldn't quite articulate 'why' it felt that way.
But what if entanglement in fact operates in the 'vertical' sense? That is to say, via the upward & outward and downward & inward nestedness of infinity.
In the CBB model, the macro-universe is a exact copy of a hydrogen atom. The H atom's electron shell and central proton is copied in the toroidal 'body' of the universe with its central 'Engine'.
This nestedness of atom-as-universe extends forever upward and outward and forever downward and inward. So whatever happens in our universe is reflected both up-scale and down-scale, in an 'Indra's Net' type of wholism. Every electron and every proton in our universe would be in superposition with the whole 'above' and the whole 'below'.
Anyhow, this seems like a more intuitive way of looking at entanglement than bridges/wormholes "reaching across".
Thanks for the video. I love this stuff.
