An alternative introduction, to the $AUD10,000 Universe Challenge!

It is easy to be perplexed by the universal appearances, those of ‘Big Bangs, Rocks from Nothing, and Orchestras of Psyche’! How can primal rocks, arising from Nothing, create thousands of human languages, and sustain the lives of billions of people? How do we explain complex consciousness, and ‘thinking rocks’?

Perhaps we will need to reconsider our initial premise, that our universe arose from Nothing? If our universe arose within a conscious Multi-Verse, then surely this ‘Hidden Splendour’, would solve the problems, surrounding the ascent of consciousness? Perhaps consciousness then is more than a peculiar ‘hallucination’, perhaps our spinal columns are the Holy Grails of our myths, when they are alight, with the hidden Powers of Eternal Awareness?

Let us imagine then that we are punters at a cosmic racetrack. Would we place our bets upon the horse named, ‘Rocks from Nothing’, or the horse named, ‘The Hidden Splendour’? Welcome to the $AUD10,000 Universe Challenge, between the ancient mystics, and the greatest minds, from modern science!

There is a a sacred thread, running through 60,000+ years of the Aboriginal Dreaming, India's Aum theory, Chinese Taoism, Socrates 'Cave' model, and the insights of our sciences.

Modern science has discovered, matter is simply light quanta, inscribed with Information, and our cosmos, arises as ‘hallucinations’, projected within theatres of space-time-gravity. When we talk of our universe, we may as well be discussing, the hookah-pipe smoke, blown by a character, from ‘Alice in Wonderland’!

Further, science reveals, we are surrounded by octets, in the realms of biology, such as the 64 codons of DNA, and the fractal forms of life. In 'small-scale' matter, there are octets, within the atomic structure, the periodic table of elements, and the eight-fold way of sub-particle chromodynamics. The 'large scales' of matter, also produce octets, such as our Fibonacci solar system, and the galactic spirals. Astonishingly, in a cosmic serendipity, humanity also creates octet music, and dances, within octet patterns.

This eight-fold nature, can be expanded, into the structures of the human psyche, and onward, into the three dimensions of Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and our physical universe. If these three dimensions, are descending octets of consciousness, a major premise within Aum theory, then our physical realms, form only, 2.040816...% of our total universe. Science's current estimate, for our physical cosmos, suggests a figure of 'less than 5%'.

There is also magic in our world, for the area of a circle, and the volume of a sphere, can never be precisely measured, except in units of transcendental, mathematical Pi. The ancient Egyptians, and Greeks, proposed a universe of light, appearing upon a lattice of circles, known as the 'Flower of Life', and the transcendent nature of Pi, allows us, when we are in high states of awareness, to see through matter, into the Eternal Light, shining brighter, than a trillion earthly suns. Perhaps, these historical Egyptians, were 'quantum observers', exploring 'quantum gravity', and the Australian Aborigines, were also encountering, the same 'mirages of light', within their 60,000+ years of the 'Dreaming'!

This vast human journey of awakening, allows us to propose a fundamental question, 'Is our universe, a structure of matter, or consciousness'? Welcome, to the '$AUD10,000 Universe Challenge'!
