Hawking Loses Bet....full text of remarks
Forum, right!

The whole universe is a unitary, quantum reality; that is foundational. However, outside the planck realm GR rules and quantum effects diminish with increasing scale. Our vast universe is a product of our very special way of observing it from one side to the other in time dilation within the photonic matrix.

Hawking makes the point that because information is conserved, quantum mechanics is "saved" for of course, quantum mechanics is reversable. I think we need to remind ourselves that just as viewing a persons decomposition in reverse brings them out of their grave and back to good health, information scrambled (but preserved) in a black hole, because of the nature of quantum mechanics can be retreived in the same orderly fashion it went in...(white/hole...black/hole...Schwarzschild geometry which fits the dualism of GR and presents solutions to the equations).

The author at the top of the thread makes the point that just as a dog cannot understand the workings of a dogfood factory, we cannot understand what is really going on around us either (or surmise the purpose for our existence). He says that in 15 million years, maybe a being will evolve that will understand.
I don't think we will have to wait that long.
In my opinion, the purpose for life is a plain as the nose on our faces...to make a constructive contribution...life (as a whole!) as a servomechanism driving the universe toward order and away from chaos.
