Logic Bomb

By Dave Briggs

What started as a simple experiment to prove a theory takes a series of unexpected twists and turns that will blow your mind, literally! Logic Bomb is the story of one mans attempt to solve the mysteries of life. Along the way our hero slowly accumulates a huge amount of money but decides that, in order to progress his experiments, he must turn his back on the whole system and bring an end to it! What follows next can only be described as chaotic as he becomes more and more powerful as the experiment progresses, sometimes with darkly funny consequences. Logic Bomb is funny and irreverent in places but does raise some very interesting questions. Do the questions get answered? only one way to find out.

1 ONE DIMENSION

I make no claim that the story that you are about to read is an original idea but neither is it stolen from an original idea. All of the ideas that are being put forward have come directly from my imagination and experiences but for reasons that will become clear I did not research any of the material for this book, instead I spent a lot of time thinking logically about the whole story and how it could be proven. If you choose to believe what you are about to read it could have a profound effect on your view of life and perhaps even change your perception of what is the most important point of life.

I suppose it all started when I asked myself the age old questions 'Why are we here, what is the purpose of life and what happens when we die?' What followed next became a lifelong quest for the ultimate answer which I believe that I may have now found and, to help you understand this story and how it works, I would like to ask you to imagine something for me, I would like you to find a quiet room and spend five minutes sitting in the dark before closing your eyes and further imagining that you are in a coma type state and that you have no senses but you are still self aware. You can’t interact with your surroundings but you know that they are there but, without your everyday senses what are you left with? All that you have are the memories of those senses and by expanding on this idea I began to understand how this could work as a theory to explain all of my questions.

In a three dimensional world EVERYTHING is three dimensional. Everything has Length, Depth and height and although some things may appear to be two dimensional this is just an illusion. A simple drawing of a line, for instance, would seem to be two dimensional but this is only because our eyes are simply not able to see the depth of the line because it is so small, even a full stop on this page is three dimensional.

Everything in the entire universe is made from atoms and particles which are three dimensional so therefore all of the matter in the universe is three dimensional and even though science fiction writers have often tried to imagine a fourth or even a fifth dimensional world (and have written stories involving these ideas), the truth of the matter is that even if there were a fourth dimension we would simply not be able to perceive it because we can only ‘see’ three dimensions.

A two dimensional world is a different matter entirely, a world that has length and height but no depth. A cartoon like The Flintstones would be a good example of a two dimensional world and if the characters were ‘real’ they would only ever see anything in their world as two dimensional in the same way that we see three dimensions, if a three dimensional object were to appear in their world they would still only see two dimensions of that object because, to them, the third dimension does not physically exist.

How about a one dimensional world? What would that world be like and what would the one dimension be?

Imagine a life-form that has no physical dimensions, it has no senses (Touch, Taste, Smell, Sight, and Hearing) It is, however, self-aware.

Now imagine a second life-form that has three physical dimensions, It has five senses but is not self-aware. It relies totally on instinct to survive. Separately these beings can live an existence but it is debatable whether either of the beings can call their experience a life and it seems to me that the ideal solution to advance both life forms would be to combine them. If the self aware being could ‘interface’ with the physical being they could both benefit and develop as a single entity.

Perhaps we should take a closer look at the advantages and implications of this idea and see how it could work and what it would mean to both entities. Time, for instance, would not affect a being that has no physical attributes because, when you think about it, time is just a concept that is based on human observations of the movements of the (three dimensional) universe and of our position in that universe. To a one dimensional entity time does not exist!

For entirely different reasons the physical being will not acknowledge the passing of time because he is only reacting on instinct to live his ‘life’. If the two entities were to combine however, the physical being would become self aware and begin to make sense of the world around him, while the self aware being would be able to experience life with five senses. The perfect solution for both entities! The problem with this idea is that the self aware being would believe that he was a physical being until the point that the physical being dies, then, and only then would he realise the truth.

As time does not affect our self aware being, theoretically, the moment that it ‘interfaced’ with the physical being it could experience all of the physical beings sensory experiences immediately. Everything that it will experience in its lifetime! If we can further assume that the self aware being is connected to every other self aware being then this would mean that the entire history (Past and Future) of the physical being would be known to the self aware being the moment that they ‘interfaced’. To demonstrate how this could work you should .close your eyes and think about a place that you have visited in your lifetime. You should be able to visualise it quite clearly and recall details about it including the way that it smelt or sounded. You should, In fact, be able to experience any detail that your five senses noticed at the time. If this works with memories then perhaps it would work the same with ‘memories’ of events that you have not yet physically experienced but will be experienced later in your future life.

2.THE EXPERIMENT

I thought for a long while about how to proceed with the experiments that would either prove or disprove this theory and I realised that the only way to make this theory work was to have ‘faith’ in it. So let us assume that this book is already written in the future and that all I need to do is to visualise it and ‘read’ the book, then write what I’ve read. Bit of a paradox, I know, but it should work.

So now that I am hooked into a book that is already written we come to experiment two. I know that experiment one doesn’t actually prove anything and can only inevitably lead to experiment two and my next task was, how to make it work most effectively? I realised that the simplest way of testing the theory would be by predicting the winning numbers in the national lottery and that the first thing that I needed to do was familiarise myself with the national lottery TV programme so that I could visualise the draw and recall the numbers in my mind. Once this is done and I can recall them easily I can then move to stage two. Visualising future lottery draws!

On the face of it stage one would seem to be quite an easy task but needed some thought about how best to proceed to ensure success and it occurred to me that by stimulating two senses I would double my chances. I needed to see and also hear the draws so that I could train my mind to recall the information more accurately. The obvious way to proceed would be to watch the TV programme each week and memorise it but this method could take weeks to achieve a competent level of ability, the other way would be to find the information on the internet and study archived lottery draws. The latter option seemed to be the most sensible way forward and also the most convenient as I could, theoretically, access the information at any time.

So with the plan in place I turned my attention to the possible outcomes. If this plan works then I could become very rich, but surprisingly, this was not part of the plan! If I were to predict the lottery numbers and actually won the jackpot it would draw attention from the media before I was ready for them. I also wondered how long it would take the lottery company to stop me from playing if I was a consistent jackpot winner and I calculated that it would probably only take about three wins before they accused me of cheating or found some rule that prevents multiple wins, so, if the plan was going to work at all then I had to be a bit more inventive, I needed to work out a way of moving the experiment forward and completing it without anyone working out what I am doing. There was always a chance that the experiment would not work and in that case it wouldn’t matter whether I kept things secret, but, what if it works first time?

I have a friend who delivers things all around the country so I enlisted his help and got him to buy the lottery tickets at random places, the idea being that if I were to have multiple wins it wouldn’t draw attention by them all being bought in the same area. Now the only thing left to do was to find the information that I needed online and the plan was in business!

I initially thought that it would be an easy task to find previous lottery draws online but after hours of searching I had found nothing. The only information that I could find was on the National Lottery official site but it was no good to me as it was just a list of numbers that had been drawn over the last six months. The only way forward was to record the live draw programme and study it for at least a few weeks before trying to predict the future draws, not the best solution but the only option left open to me.

I needed to make a mental note of the kind of information that I needed to ensure the success of the experiment, I would need to listen to every inflection in the ‘voice of the balls’ to recall the information accurately enough and I would also need to know the pace, accent and word phrasing as well as the visual information. The easiest of these proved to
