In early 1905 and 1915 respectively, Relativity: The Special and General Theory by Albert Einstein not only gave us new revolutionary theories about the universe, such as identifying the speed of light as constant, gravity as a curvature or warping of spacetime, and the world's most famous equation, E=mc2, Einstein transformed our understanding of physics and the universe.
In the 1920s, Catholic priest and astronomer Georges Lemaître recognized expansion of the universe and hypothesized that the universe began in a hot, dense state that he called an "hypothesis of the primeval atom." Today, we call it The Big Bang.
Years later, in 1929, Edwin Hubble's research on light from distant galaxies shifting from white to red (red shifting) led to a new theory that the universe is expanding as a result of a mysterious force called, "dark energy."
In the 1970s, scientists Vera Rubin and Kent Ford's observation of fast-moving stars at the edge of rotating galaxies led to confirmation of a theory that galaxies were held together by a mysterious medium called, "dark matter." Dark matter was originally coined by astrophysicist, Fritz Zwicky in the 1930s.
In the 1990s, Hubble's data found additional support from new research that determined expansion of the universe is not only occuring, but accelerating.
In light of this brief overview of history, what if the universe did not begin with The Big Bang? What if the universe wasn't expanding because of a dark, unobservered, mysterious force like dark energy? What if the universe wasn't held together by an unobserved medium like dark matter, but was held together by a different source?
E. Hughes offers a radical new theory on the origins of the universe, dark energy, space, and motion in, A Clockwork Universe: URUT. Read more below for current hypotheses on the universe.

What is the simulacra? It is a copy of a copy that replaces the original reference. A photo that comes to represent you, is the simulacra. A video of the image, of you, becomes the copy of the copy. A simulation and replacement. We are consistently engaged in a pseudo-reality of our own making. That is what I want people to understand. These are images of me. This is a video of "me." Is it real? Or is it simulacra? The answer is whether the pixels on your screen are real.
Do you find this video ironic in the sense of using simulacra, to explain simulacra?

This is a "game" I created, and used to play with my kids and younger family members. I would "guess" the number they are thinking of. Figure out how it guesses your number.

Poetry in motion. Characters from my children's books have been animated and I wrote a few songs (little mini-poems), and set them to music. It's cute. If you have children who loves children's songs, you can find them on Youtube and on my children's website, https://penelopeprincessballerina.com
Next Monday, tune in to WORT FM 89.9 Madison on December 22, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. CST where I will be appearing to talk about my book The Absence of Reality: Aphorisms and Observations on the Nature of Reality and Existence.

The Absence of Reality: Aphorisms, Observations, Reality and the Nature of Existence (A Chapbook) by E. Hughes is coming soon. Release date: October 23, 2025.
The Absence of Reality explores human existence and whether we are living in an artificial reality. An artificial reality is the construct of social and technological advances, the hidden objective reality, and humanity's inability to perceive the world in its natural unaltered state. As the human population marches forward to the Initium Novum Era of human existence, the next stage of artificial reality, simulacra, and simulated environments, are we coding our own extinction?

My event is tomorrow on August 30, 2025 at Goodman South Public Library for a discussion: Demystifying AI: Is it the future of humanity or our demise? With E. Hughes, author of Reality Unbound: The Digital Mind (and the Nature of Reality). I will do my best to live-stream the event if possible for online participants who decide to register. Visit my philosophy website, https://realityunbound.org/ for details
For anyone interested in reading notes on the August 9th event for Demystifying AI: Is it the Future of Humanity or our demise? Please visit https://realityunbound.org/ for details and notes on what we covered. See you on August 30th!
