Ulla Mattfolk Hi,
Many philosophers in physics search for how God creates the universe, and the majority consider photons and General Relativity as the primary essences. So they try, like Jenny, to add dimensions and reach God and its primary information. But it seems too reductive to consider that God has only created this light. It is probably due to religions considering that God is light. But it is more than this. The information is probably not inside this spacetime of GR, or strings, or one-dimensional points at the Planck scale, as if God simply oscillated them. There are ontological problems with this reasoning, but it is another story. We need information, yes, and physical structures, but this GR has created a kind of philosophical prison.
If we evolve, if the universe evolves, there are reasons, ontologically speaking, and these oscillations and fields of photons as primary essence imply deep ontological problems about consciousness, evolution, and why we live and what we create in this universe. This physicality emerges from information, in my opinion, but not from GR with information inside it. It is different. This spacetime is emergent, and even consciousness is a deeper problem to analyze.
Spacetime probably emerges, yes, but not in the sense that Maldacena claims. It emerges from information, but not from information entanglement of photons.
The mass–energy–information equivalence seems to be the key, with deeper parameters added through Dark Energy (DE) and Dark Matter (DM), completing QFT and GR. We need a structure that stores, evolves, and processes information. The DE tensors seem to be the key, and this spacetime is just a kind of philosophical prison. But with an informational substrate, we have a computational structure, and this substrate encodes the two other substrates: photons and DM. We cannot assume that light and gravity are everything; we need information and antigravitation to explain the evolution of this universe with negentropy.
Indeed, information needs structures to persist, and this persistence permits memory. GR combined with photons cannot do this; there are, I repeat, deep ontological problems. The Standard Model knows how to be stable, and as Lorraine said, we need knowledge to have viable systems. Mathematics alone cannot produce this stability, and GR is too abstract even if it matches our observations. Photons cannot store structured information, that is fundamental. They cannot regulate stable negentropic matter or decoherence. Light is about interaction, not structure, even though it paradoxically has structure.
The 0D is fascinating if true, because it is non-spatial and non-temporal, and therefore omnipotent. Physicality is then a project of evolution with the three main systems, and all is conscious and living ontologically speaking, because we all come from this infinite eternal consciousness we call God. But physicality is finite, and spacetime emerges from informational structures deeper than GR. We do not break GR or QFT,we complete them. This reasoning converges with and completes the works of Einstein, Wheeler, Bohm, Penrose, Rovelli, and Spinoza. It is the Theory of Spherisation and the OSI, with spherical topological geometric algebras. It is not just philosophy,there is a consistent structure linking all.
If one assumes that God interacts with the universe only through oscillating photons or vibrating Planck-scale strings, then one faces a severe contradiction.
If God can influence the universe through oscillations, why does God not stop suffering, cruelty, diseases, or the murder of a child?
This is the point. If the divine interaction were simply energetic, like waves or vibrations, then intervention would be instantaneous and trivial,and it is not.This is a fundamental ontological point, proving that the higher dimensions of GR cannot be the hand of God. God interacts through structural evolution inside a finite universe.
So suffering exists not because God is absent, but because the universe evolves through structured informational dynamics, and that implies deep ontological possibilities for the future of the universe,maybe even that we create this paradise, and the souls are intriguing if they exist. Well. This shows that God does not override physical laws moment to moment, it is about evolution and a self-developing system with logic, memory, and autonomy. And it is fascinating because the future is wonderful if true and if all are in the same boat. God does not micromanage events, God creates a system with structures inside a physical finite universe, and we, the beings, evolve. We have free will. We learn, we live, we choose, and we are responsible for meaning.
