    About this ebook

    All the information in the universe is available everywhere all of the time, because that information is what comprises spacetime itself. All that is needed to decode and display it is a brain-like apparatus, a temporal diffraction grating that is able to collate images and thoughts from out of seemingly pure randomness.

    Author

    Brad G. Berman

    I graduated in 1969 with a degree in Electrical Engineering from Oregon State University. My employment has included OSU as well as Hewlett Packard. My main hobby and pastime is creative writing. As a creative writer, I like to look at the world of words and physics from new points of view, hoping to discover a pathway not yet taken. I have, for over 60 years, maintained that, once you figure out how the brain works, then you will have captured the essence of the entire universe. This reasoning is simple, considering that the brain is the pinnacle of nature's creations, thus it must be important enough to be worthy of examination.

      “Excuse me, but what’s the time?” I’m guessing that you, like me, are guilty of having asked this question, as if it were obvious that there is such a thing as the time. Yet you’ve probably never approached a stranger and asked “Excuse me, but what’s

      Actually, There Is a Time Like the Present

      Nov 30, 2017

      We’ve all heard it before: There’s no time like the present. Broadly speaking, of course, it means to “seize the opportunity right now,” or maybe in my case, to avoid procrastinating. From a psychological perspective, this makes a lot of sense. As hu
