I agree..but choosing not believe also does not prove anything and that is why everybody has an intellect at their disposal.. to reason for themselves after they have done their homework what they want to believe. That is important. Blindly making a choice is sheer laziness and an utter failure to use a rational mind.

Choosing to believe in an intelligent Force does not make it so…

Yes, human beings cannot reach absolute certainty as human reason is quite evidently limited. However, one can reach enough certainty to choose to believe that an intelligent Force exists if one does their research.

If something is unintelligible and unpredictable to us, how then can we possibly know if it is conscious or not, certainly does not seem like qualities of a conscious system.

I am sorry but how can ‘mindless rules’ give rise to such an intricate system? The rules as simple as they may be, the initial conditions as incomplex as they might be, have been set by a Cause that is un-caused. What appears to be spontaneity might just be a personal choice of this Cause- just because it is unintelligible and unpredictable to us, does not mean it can be dismissed as thoughtless and unconscious.

How can I actually see this movie?

I liked this one, “Unfortunately, I have to tell you that all of this is true. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it.” All glories to the Supreme Person, the actual, ultimate controller.

Who made the simple rules, starting with the first simple rule. Self organized system require just simple rules starting with the, let there be light, the first rule.

Such confident statement proclaimed!

For sure the Universe is more than simple dust. Is a photon of light simple dust? Is heat simple dust? Is your thought reaction to those questions simple dust? (yet Jim keeps telling us otherwise). We don’t know what Space is actually made of – what phenomena might be infused with it (e.g.: think Dark Energy).

Documentary still came across, to me anyway, that Chaos has inherent organizing characteristic; and that Order & Chaos are yet another example of opposite extreme each both vieing for ultimate supremacy – as though set-in motion even.

The film certainly confirms that nothing is determined, and that the course of all event is random – which appears, to my way of seeing thinking, a concept perfectly designed – one certain to eliminate, eventually weed out, all trial & error.

Sand grains only form into sand dunes by wind acting as influence – semi solid heaps sculpted blown into exquisite form by {external} invisible flowing gas. Energy also flows – right ? Flow is the governing force that shapes everything, shaping chaos, shaping order, shaping morphogenesis, evolution, fractals, rivers. After studying physics I’m confident that every thing is oscillating, and that life, evolution, functions as wave. Fractal, tree, blood vessel, lung, river, ice, lightening are all example of this inherent dendritic pattern appearing throughout the Universe, and which represents the pattern of flow – of flow though available space: it even represents an undulating bird flock managing vicinity’s available space (as shown in the film).

Time lag / feedback / loop? – “. . .and with a slight tweek to the system” Sorry, but wasn’t the visual effect (screen and camera) used as demonstrative example, produced by configured system that was DESIGNED by DESIGNER, aka: computer – does a computer’s processing capability prove anything other than inability to process information quick enough? All it demonstrated was an amplification’s disturbance (check out the principle of linear super position).

Chaos is design configured for the purpose of liberation – the spark of life flowing through Universe is set on course liberation, trapped, but inevitably acquiring the knowledge, know-how, expertise to break free. It’s all part of it’s inherent design!

It seems to me the Designer is Flow.

‘we cannot predict the exact shapes’ perhaps because our mathematics have not reached that level, or (more likey, like fingerprints, eyes, etc) because there is inherent variability in the organism itself.

Though he lumps philosophy and religion together at the start…. it is funny that the critical feedback dimension sounds a lot like Aufhebung. Its not like certain philosophical movements haven’t anticipated this recent “scientific” trajectory. …. and it though it works to move past a Newtonian conceit, and a stranglehold on the imagination of science, it seems naively confident that certain metaphors and distinctions can still be pitched about…. when thinking on the basis of these phenomenon may well throw the attitude into question.

I hope Ralph Abraham is in this, oh god I hope so. Otherwise it is meaningless.

I think that our understanding of the universe that we live in
is what the fractal represents.
Physicists have always tried to explain nature using mathematical equations yet there is always something vital missing.
The observed is always there…
What ever we seem to be looking for at a certain time mysteriously with time materializes. Hhmmm !?
I believe that we truly create our reality, and this material aspect of life, with the life force energy that powers everything in the universe.
I think that physics is our way of proving to ourselves that the knowledge we have tuned out or forgot or have ignored for to long is fact.(its easier to put on TV)
When I looked at the Mandelbrot fractal for the first time I felt like I had seen it before.
It’s almost relaxing to just look at it , an awesome confirmation of that ,that has no words.
My theory of what powers everything kind of falls into place with the infinity aspects of the fractal as well I have long been looking at the fact that everything swirls .
Witch has led me to believe that the universe is infinite in a way that is not visible.
Imagine trying to see out of a molecule while the earth is a spec wising around inside the inner workings of an electron.
I don’t think that you would be able to tell where the molecule ended or what it was a part of without using your imagination.
At the same time the molecules at our scale have the capacity to contain infinite scales of time and space,
If universes are like molecules than atomic energy is the power that fuels everything the big bag may have been an atom of inconceivable proportions splitting.
Like the way an atom bomb makes its cloud or the sun is burning on a time frame that is hard to comprehend.
And if matter extends to a scale that becomes perceptively invisible.we have are 11 to 8 dimensions.
I can’t help but believe that this is still a construct of conscious thought.
And the awakening of an individual is knowing that you are creator along with every other,and it is all energy.
Somehow we have chosen to be more singular and maybe that is the drive that comes with being able to create whole worlds with mere thought.

I honestly appreciate and enjoy information like this video the one with Arther C Clark is a must see if you enjoyed this one.
The more people start having something tangible to rap there brain around the farther our perceptions and imaginations can reach.
“Perceptions create new worlds”.K.D.
“It’s not what your looking at that matters,its what you see” FB ?
My favorite Quote
From a book that was taking a more realistic view of religion.
” Immortality is not access into heaven as reward for living an upright life,it is the immediate realization of your true identity here and now,which was never born so can never die ”
Thanks for sharing and allowing me to do the same.

I wondered where this all fits with recent studies of brain function, and I didn’t find a layman’s quick fix.

I used:- brain function nonlinear dynamics
as a search.

Many years ago a friend was working on neurone networks.
Specifically metabolism.

He gave me a couple of prototype glass etched matrices used for neurone network research.
The guy had grown proto brains(biological neural networks)in a glass dish. Using rat neurons and data communication via the matrices.
