Yeah, I remember you. Smart person.

Lotta smart people around here. Wish I had the time to be around more myself.

I think your cosmology is neat. Here's mine in a nutshell.

I'm a superdeterminist. I think everything is. I think linearity is a subset of whatever quintessential medium 'existence' is made up of (I suspect 'space' and 'time' are like an x and y axis of that 'quintessence'... not sure yet what the speed of light would be in that very crude analogy).

I think a study of fractal geometry shows us that 'reality' has a tendency to contain a multitude of variant subsets of itself. I suspect the 'universe' as we perceive it is a glimpse from the inside of a 'black hole' at the point of collapse. I don't doubt that the universe seems to be expanding, but if that expansion is only self-consistent then I have to assume it's a trick of some sort.

I admit to being partial to Bohm's 'holographic' reality; every piece of it contains all the information of the whole.

Thanks.

I don't really understand your cosmology; probably I'm just not smart enough. If I were you, I'd bring it up somewhere Noggin and Hoovooloo might see it--the God thread if they're still hanging out there. They are probably more competant to understand your point.
