If the voice in your head is you...
then who's listening?
The split brain experiments proved there is no free will. The interpreter module is a justification center in charge of the brain just constantly justifying every thought you have as 100% correct.
The thought comes before you being aware that you're thinking it. Once you have the thought, you react to it using the same subconscious and the interpreter module convinces you you've made a 'choice'. If you can consciously adjust the decisions your brain makes for you: what makes the decision to do so? And then there are reflexes which are involuntary and never touch the brain at all.
The voice is essentially the speech center in the left side of the brain communicating with the right side of the brain being experienced consciously as a voice. This is also why some people talk to themselves as well.
Thoughts aren't even a real thing. Consciousness is an illusion created by the experience of brain activity.
You are responding to external stimuli and processing it through your brain and it's genetic predispositions. Maybe you're predisposed to violence. You will generally be a violent person. Maybe what I'm saying will convince you, maybe you're predisposed to doubt what I'm telling you.
It's not your choice to even believe me.
Really if anything it brings up a lot of questions about the ethics of crime and punishment. If someone murders someone else, what did society do to that person that resulted in them doing that? Of course it's still socially beneficial to remove that person, but the fault lies with the environment.
Riddle me this, if you have free will, how can a pill change how you feel?
After all your thoughts and feelings are allegedly not just brain functions according to this belief.
Why does the pill change what you think?
Make a depressed person not want to unalive anymore for example.
The universe has a frame rate... Every frame of the universe is a planck second.
Every single moment the universe splits an inconceivable amount of times based on every single collapse of the wave function.
The other cat has to go somewhere after all...
No choice is ever made. 'You' are simply the version of you that ended up in this universe where you turned left instead of right. There's another you who turned right instead of left. Both are convinced they made a choice but the truth is no choice was ever made, all possibilities were explored.
'Me' and 'You' are here in this moment, but the very next moment 'Me' and 'You' are not the same entities anymore. I'm now with a version of you that went left and your now with a version of me that saw you go right. Your observation of the universe puts you into one of the collapses, it doesn't collapse because of you observing it.
Free will doesn't exist and neither does determinism. This still doesn't necessarily disprove Laplace's demon only amends it to account for the probability space.
Time is but a moment. The passage of time is an illusion based on our limited perspective of reality. This is why it's so easy to manipulate with reference frames. In higher levels of reality it doesn't make sense to say 'this happened before that' because it all exists at once. Causality still exists it just isn't action over time, but rather causal branches of time.
Since there are infinite universes, and we can explain everything inside the universe with gravity. It explains what people call 'creation'. All universes with different values of gravity that don't result in a successful universe simply don't exist. All universes where life cannot develop, it doesn't. It is possible in this causal branch and given enough opportunities (infinite) according the law of truly large numbers here it is... God 2.0 is logic itself.
But these rules that take the form of fields that constitute the universe and what the exact nature of the multiverse and beyond is more than likely unexplainable.
Fractal universe?
Notice how the shape (11D Shape) returns to a circle so it can be repeated through the point line plane postulate.
My best guess so far is that dark matter and dark energy are in fact related and have something to do with the folded dimensions of space.
The universal constant is true. As space expands energy fills the void so the amount of energy per quanta of space remains constant. Space unfolding as I speculate. As opposed to dark matter which is folded space. This explains the gravitational lensing of dark matter and where the extra energy is coming from.
Dark matter should be a property of ordinary matter like gravity is. This is why you see it concentrated around galaxies and not in the void of space.
I disagree that it's what holds galaxies together, yes you need it to explain, but that's putting the cart before the horse. Matter has dark matter properties because it exists within the folds of space in quantum superpositions, so you see dark matter where you see concentrations of matter.
I guess a few mysteries still remain here like what about negative time.
We can use this model starting at t = 0 but that doesn't mean negative time doesn't exist.
As far as we know
In modern physics
All possibilities are explored
So it's not about controlling what is
But controlling what is possible
It's hard to share the qualia of how the world feels when you understand everything. A small taste.
Imagine yourself, and every particle in the universe, the past a straight line behind them, and branching out from your body lies all the possibilities, going out the door or making food or anything else that has probability.
You, are just a ghost in a shell, cruising through the possibilities, carving a line, and calling it 'self'.
That's just the 5th (plus a few if you fully grasp the analogy) dimension out of 11. It's all folded into space beyond our view and all that we see is a small part of it unraveling.
Just a point, on a line, on a plane, in a box, in a moment of time, on a branch of time, in a branch of causality, on a branch of constants,... and everything is hiding just inside the corners of our human reality.
...
For universes that don't contain life, what is the difference between that universe existing and not existing? We are more or less the universe experiencing itself. Without consciousness there's no experience of time, time is a construct of the brain as a multicellular organ, fundamental particles do not experience time. Again we're a point on a line. Without us the line still exists but our lived reality breaks down as a concept.
...
I'm a firm believer in the mathematical universe hypothesis. That the world is not just described by math but is made of math itself. Quantum mechanics breaks all conventional understanding of reality and can only be understood through equations. The very essence of all of reality is a logical necessity of mathematical constructs.
A Calabi Yau manifold is a 6th dimensional shape that helps us understand where these extra universes are hiding. Our human reality (3.5D) is a strip around the brane of this shape that makes up the fabric of space itself. If you could traverse this shape you would encounter other causal universes. When we look at the model we are zooming out. But our human reality as a single point seeing these upper dimensions from the inside of 3.5D sees them as folded up into the fabric of our universe.
This is probably my best way of putting it into human terms without having to explain that time doesn't exist and is a spatial dimension just like everything else.
You open a portal IN the corner of the room to an adjacent universe, where you went left instead of right. The portal exists within the corner of reality. Like clipping into the backrooms through a corner in your house. Opening the corner allows you to look through into the 5th dimension of probable realities...
The portal has 2 faces on eitherside and an infinitesimally small edge connecting them, if we open up this edge, unfold the seams further, we create another portal in between the 5D portal, this looks into the 6th dimension where causal realities are.
If you look through 5D you'll see the version of your that went left, or forgot to wake up, etc. If you look through the 6D portal in between the seams of that portals edge you would see a universe where dinosaurs never went extinct.
In 7th dimensional phase space the analogy breaks down because of the Calabi yau manifold which separates constant realities in a couple ways.
If the probable and causal universes are hiding in the corners of your room then the constant realities can be thought of as your neighbors house both of these exists on a city block which is the next dimension of horrors beyond human comprehension as the laws of physics start to change going into the 8th and 9th dimensions.
And the 10th is just pure information... Math.
Infinity hitting the limit.
If a lower reality can't exist it doesn't.
If it has to, it does.
A type 4 multiverse encompasses all other levels of the multiverse.
When you get to the 8th dimension the secrets of particle physics that we've done so much to uncover are laid out bare. You can see the assemblance of up and down quarks compiling into a proton. If it's not true then we have to explain why an 8th dimensional shape has encoded within it all observed reality.
Like those websites.

Every book ever written or that will be written contained in the function
It's math all the way up and down...
A quark in a higher dimension can be rethought with the pencil analogy of wormholes. If you can fold the paper in half and poke a hole through it, why not fold it 5 times and poke a hole. That pencil is the quark, and when you unfold the paper back into 3 dimensions. A single quark ends up in multiple places in the universe at the same time...
Light does not travel backward in time, rather subatomic particles do not experience time. For us they are points because we exist as points. They are actually lines.
If we take the paper and pencil analogy of a wormhole, fold the paper up into a few more dimensions and then poke the pencil through...
Now that we can envision these particles existing as functions in higher dimensions it could help understand entanglement. 2 particles in our reality comes together, they get entangled, they move apart, stay entangled.
What I speculate is happening is their position in a higher dimension is converging while their position in a lower dimension still shifts.
We reach 0 at the top and bottom which is spooky.
But a lot can happen at 0, is it nothing or is it everything?
+infinity + -infinity = 0
I could have no sheep, or I could borrow 10 sheeps and trade 10 sheep. I still have no sheep, but things are happening with no sheep.
Everything can happen, with nothing.
The nature of a self is a question of philosophy. The qualia of human life is experienced as a fixed point moving forward on a line of 4th dimensional space, a predetermined line segment.
The first step to explaining any kind of greater self is to cast aside the human concept of self first.
Are you just a cradle to a grave of fixed events? Or are you instead the experience of all probabilistic outcomes stemming from your conception?
The truth is it all comes down to choice
