This book explores the ultimate information technology of the Cosmic Computer, and how it supports the Perennial Philosophy, the core consensus of all spiritual and mystic experience. Evidence is presented for a dual representation of information at large and small scales in the Universe. This simple idea not only allows science to be reconciled with spirit, but can also make sense of quantum mechanics and other mysteries of physics, and suggest new lines of research. The Cosmic Computer is an update of David Bohm's holistic interpretation of quantum mechanics for the information age. Numerous quotations from physicists and spiritual masters are included as supporting evidence, and along the way, some of the deepest and most wonderful parts of physics and mathematics are described in a way that is accessible to general readers.

Subjects covered include:

  • The Perennial Philosophy, the core consensus of spiritual masters from all religions — what remains after belief in miracles and infallible people or texts is discounted as unnecessary, and even counter-productive.
  • The Principle of Least Action, which allows physicists to use Nature's continual quest for perfection to derive the most important equations of physics.
  • James Clerk Maxwell’s use of a simple model of spinning cells and idle wheels to write down his equations of electro-magnetism. Maxwell’s equations are fundamental in physics, and led to radio, and also relativity theory.
  • Fourier Analysis, the mathematical treasure that allows information to be represented in dual forms. It is used in every smartphone to flip information between the dual Fourier domains of time and frequency, and it is also at the heart of quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle.
  • The original Boolean logic used by George Boole in his 1854 book, The Laws of Thought, and how it differs from the modern Boolean logic taught to students of computer science.
  • The physics of information that was at the forefront of Richard Feynman's researches in the final years of his life, and led from the bit to the qubit, and understanding physics as quantum computation.
  • Zitterbewegung, the light-speed inner dance of an electron that is at the heart of quantum mechanics, and the source of many of its mysteries. The Planck sized zit unit is the qubit of the Cosmic Computer.
