So holographic, oh my TVC15!

A friend I was talking to today mentioned that he'd read something about a scientist who was 99% (or so) sure that we are living in a computer simulation. I've heard the idea before--in fact, quite some time ago, when I read The Holographic Universe (whose publication preceded The Matrix by 8 years), but I haven't thought about it for a while, so my friend reignited my interest and I thought I'd go back for another look at the idea. 

I found an interesting piece in an online Popular Mechanics article (https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a66050444/simulation-theory-new-physics-law-infodynamics/) which introduced me to Melvin Vopson, who is undoubtedly the scientist my friend was referring to. After reading it, I felt the need to see if the public library had any of his books. Turns out they didn't, so I next turned to Amazon. And no surprise...

But I'm not a fan of Amazon, and buying books from them is a last resort. So I checked Thrift Books, my first resort:

AND free shipping. To which I say, Mike Mine Thrift Books.

ANYway, somewhere along the way on these searches, I saw another book which looked interesting: The Bible and the Holographic Universe: A Christian's Practical Guide to the Universe, the Multiverse, and the Bibleverse by Cynthia C. Polsley. If that were any further up my alley it would be coming out of my nose. But $22.65 paperback, $9.99 Kindle, so I went back to check the library for that one. They didn't have it, but they did have Quantum Spirituality: Science, Gnostic Mysticism, and Connecting With Source Consciousness by Peter Canova, which (1) sounds even better and (2) had me at Gnostic Mysticism.

Time to get to work.
