Yes you are both right. But what I'm doing is something more abstract. God is a number. This number is 10^10^10^3. A 2 hour dvd contains 10^10 numbers. There are therefore 10^10^10 possible films ever. I'm doing the same with the universe considering every concievable measurement at 10 to the minus 100 seconds and meters for all the universe for all of time etc. (if you need more precision just put it to 10^4 etc) Therefore a number with 10 to the 10th power to the 10th power to 3 comes out. If we line up the numbers its, still just about that big. Try to abstract more. A person in one of these universes is a group of numbers. All laws are only groupings of numbers relative to others. There is no magic anymore in mathematics like physics thinks because a given universe has some numbers organized according to a regularity like 1/r^2. It's just one of the combinations. It's quite abstract ....

Has anyone ever thought of describing the universe as just a large set of numbers. For example a universe with 1 particle and 2 positions and 2 time intervals would be described as a table: Particle Time Position 0 1 0 0 2 1 This universe only lasts 2 time steps and has one particle. Extrapolating to a real universe with a about 1000 physical measurements and 200 decimal precision for each for 10 to the 500 particles etc. we could get (10 to the power of 1000) numbers; Or in rearranging the numbers a universe that is a number with (10 to the power of 1000) decimal places. By the way all possible universes would be : 10 to the power of (10 to the power of 1000)) or 10^(10^1000). Physical laws would be just extracted regularity from all these numbers by deliming areas and relating areas of numbers. The universe in this picture is just one large number chopped up in various ways to related various areas of regularity. Strange idea but interesting ...... Any comments ?

Ok. The only thing really hard is the split and pattern matching thing. the @t=split/\./,$x; is splitting the number $x between it's whole number place and decimal place putting it in 2 slots of the array @t (which in perl can also be written $t[) so for $x=3.234 $t[0] is equal to 3 and $t[1] is equal to 234. Next you extract some character from the pattern $x[1] according to position with the syntax $t[1]=~m/....../; each dot is the corresponding character the first dot is 2 the second is 3 etc. Put (.) to identify the character and it is $1 or $2 according to if it is the first or second paranthesese. so if if $t[1] is 234 then $t[1]=~m/(.).(.)/ would make $1 equal to 2 and $2 equal to 4. Sorry I didn't think it was too complicated but maybe I use perl too much.. It could be done in other languages but this is the fastest way. I find the resulting drawing which I scroll with word really strange! It has alot of regularity but it doesn't seem to come from nowhere. I don't know if this is already known mathematically or if it is a new discovery.

I wrote a small program that generates alot of regularity: $pattern= "#################################################################################################"; $r=1; for(0..366000) { $x=1/($r**2); $r=$r+0.01; @t=split/\./,$x; $t[1]=~m/^..(.)..(.)../; $p=$2.$1; print $p.' '.substr($pattern,0,$p)."\n" } You can see the result by entering c:>perl this.pl > rw and browsing through rw with word at 10% size (choose normal view) Is this a fractal or chaos or something unknown ? it is the combination of a formula and a simple logical operation that extracts a couple of digits of the precision and graphs numbers out of them. The / .../ matches the digits and $1 and $2 identifies which. Any clues if these things are already known ? Thanks eighth man
