Offshore ROV engineer. I fly robots through black water on a signal that's always slightly old. Author of The Universe Remembers. I have a few questions.
For twenty years I've flown robots through black water on a signal that's always slightly old. Reality rebuilt from a delayed, error-corrected stream. Then I started wondering if everything works that way.
The Universe Remembers is out today. A book that asks: what if reality runs on compression?

Here it is, My first ever book, Is this a simulation? Are we all just ones and zeros?

Not new physics. A lens. Every claim in the book is graded, so you know exactly which parts to doubt. From an engineer at the end of a cable who couldn't let one number go.
I'll be posting the ideas here now that the book's out, and notes from the actual job that started all this: flying robots through black water on a signal that's always slightly old.
If that's your kind of strange, follow along.
The universe doesn't forget. It compresses.
The speed of light is 299,792,458 metres per second.
It looks like a credit card number.
I'm an offshore engineer, not a physicist, and that ugliness bothered me for years. Here's what happened when I stopped accepting the formatting. π§΅
It's called The Universe Remembers. Not a claim of new physics, something rarer, I hope: a working engineer's lens on the oldest questions, offered in the spirit of here's a strange way to see, now go check it yourself.
Here it is, on Kindle:

Here's the honest version: the pattern in base twelve is solid arithmetic, you can check it yourself. Whether it means anything is a separate, much bolder question, and I grade it as exactly that in the book.
I tell you which parts to doubt. That's the whole point.
