"Science proceeds as if the past was the home of explanation; whereas the future and the future alone holds the key to the mysteries of the present. When that first cell divided, the meaning of that division was to be discovered in the future, not in the past; when some pre-human ancestor first uttered a human sound, the significance of that sound was to be interpreted by human language, not by apish grunts; when the first plant showed solicitude for its seed, the interest of that solicitude lay in the promise of maternal affection. Things must be judged in the light of the coming morning, not in the setting stars." Henry Dwight Sedgwick, House of Sorrow (1908)

Here is what I think is an important insight into the nature of the dark energy accelerating the expansion of our observable universe. (2-8-11)

The mystery of dark energy is explained by the hologram cosmological principle trivially and it shows how stupid we all are, me included, that it took this long.

I have generally shown that the Unruh temperature at any horizon (i.e., g00 = 0) is for static LNIF detectors (lowered on a cable, analog to accelerating Rindler observers) at distance d from the horizon (e.g. Taylor series in first order for our future de Sitter metric g00 = 1 - /\r^2 distance d from our retro-causal post-selected future horizon).

kBTHorizon(r = 0) ~ hc/(geometric mean of horizon radius with d)

This is the temperature of our future horizon that we see here back-from-the-future as advanced Wheeler-Feynman blackbody radiation (real photons) that cools down to zero point vacuum fluctuations (virtual photons) when it reaches us.

The Hawking temperature at the future horizon of thickness Lp and area A = /\^-1 itself is

kBTHorizon(r = /\^-1/2) ~ hc/Lp


kBTHorizon(r = 0) ~ hc/(LpRH)^1/2

The Stephan-Boltzmann Law is that the black body energy density ~ T^4

Voila!

kBTHorizon(r = 0) ^4 ~ hc/(LpRH)^2

The RHS is the observed dark energy density.
Summary. If our observer-dependenent future horizon of area A has Planck thickness Lp with Hawking zero point energy density hc/Lp^4 as given by quantum field theory, then the cosmological redshift of this Wheeler-Feynman back-from-the-future advanced thermal radiation gives the observed hc/ALp^2 energy density. Also from the Unruh effect this thermal radiation for the accelerating LNIF observer looks like zero point vacuum fluctuations to the locally coincident non-accelerating inertial LIF observer. However, in this de Sitter metric g00 = 1 - /\r^2 we are always located at r = 0 with the future horizon at g00 = 0. Therefore, we are inertial at r = 0 because the static LNIF acceleration is
~ c^2/\r(1 - /\r^2)^-1/2.

The new physics conjecture I propose in this book Destiny Matrix is how the back-from-the-future hologram conscious computer (Mind of God) at the event horizon of our universe is the cosmic trigger igniting the Big Bang in a loop in time.

The tales of high-strangeness that follow are the facts as truthfully as I, and the others, can recall. Believe it or not depending on your comfort zone dealing with the uncanny. These are real X-Files from The Twilight Zone beyond The Outer Limits. The quantum world of modern physics is not only weirder than we imagined. It is, perhaps, weirder than we can imagine.[i]

How the Hippies Saved Physics

Video MIT Physics Professor David Kaiser's book WBGH Boston Public Broadcasting System

"Kaiser describes the field of physic's bumpy transition from New Age to cutting edge.
In recent years, the field of quantum information science has catapulted to the cutting
edge of physics. Long before the big budgets and dedicated teams, however, the field
smoldered on the scientific sidelines within the hazy, bong-filled excesses of the 1970's
New Age movement. Many of the ideas that now occupy the core of quantum information
science once found their home amid an anything-goes counterculture frenzy, a mishmash
of spoon-bending psychics, Eastern mysticism, LSD trips, CIA spooks chasing mind-reading
dreams, and comparable 'Age of Aquarius' enthusiasts."

I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined,

and that we can do nothing to change it,
look before they cross the road.
Stephen Hawking
--------------------------------------------------------
Correcting Professor Hawking if I may be so bold :-)
It's not that everything is predestined.
It's that everything is post-selected,
in Aharonov's sense,
at our future event horizon.
That is what Hawking called "The Mind of God"
-- a VALIS Cosmic Conscious AI Omega Point GOD(D) Computer.
This is a really crazy idea.
But the real question is,
is it crazy enough to be true?

Eight videos explaining these ideas are now online here

accelerating our observable universe's expansion. Is this crazy enough to be true?

"It’s a very, very profound idea," says Paul Davies. "Aharonov’s take on quantum mechanics can explain
all the usual results that the conventional interpretations can, but with the added bonus that it also explains
away nature’s apparent indeterminism. What’s more, a theory in which the future can influence the past
may have huge—and much needed—repercussions for our understanding of the universe, says Davies.

"Cosmologists have long been puzzled about why the conditions of our universe—for example,
its rate of expansion—provide the ideal breeding ground for galaxies, stars, and planets.
If you rolled the dice to create a universe, odds are that you would not get one as handily conducive
to life as ours is. Even if you could take life for granted, it’s not clear that 14 billion years is enough time
for it to evolve by chance. But if the final state of the universe is set and is reaching back in time to
influence the early universe, it could amplify the chances of life’s emergence." Discover Magazine

Fred Alan Wolf and I have been working on the idea that the future can influence the past since
the late 1960's when we were professors in the physics department of San Diego State.
Nice that Paul Davies and others are now jumping on their bandwagon. Aharonov's work on this
started around 1964, but I don't recall if Fred and I were aware of it back then. We were influenced
by I.J. Good who may have known of Yakir's 1964 paper.  Of course my first introduction to
back-from-the-future physics was in 1953 as a child in a series of mysterious telephone calls.
President Obama recently gave Yakir a medal for it at The White House - well deserved.
This is an important idea that will change theology as well as physics.
