The Skeleton Key for the cosmic simulation

As supercomputers become even more powerful some people wonder if there eventuality might be something like a digital Skeleton_key. For some reason humans developed myths & legends, metaphysics & religions. Since ancient times there has been a sense that this world & universe is part of some kind of an interactive recording & projection of space & time. Supercomputers can create multidimensional models of worlds, galaxies & even a universe or 2. Its just a matter of how much actual data & interpolated data can be put into the digital model, because at best its still just an approximation.

The_cosmic Skeleton_key, digital_physics_vs_informational_physics. Eventually a program could be developed to mimic the akashic_records. Of course for many such a notion is preposterous. Yet, how did humans get such an idea in the first place? http://www.crystalinks.com/akashicrecords.html,

The truth about Smart Meters

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06TqHKcjxXg
If its just about improving power efficiency, then its not an issue.

However, people have noticed some odd things and several would rather just opt out of the whole thing.

The Apple Store, Microsoft Store, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Store, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Store
Stores like these don't necessarily have to be located in large malls.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Hub_(Digital_Store)
Its just more advantageous when they are, due to a mall being a popular destination.
http://store.sony.com/c/S_SonyStyle_Stores/en/c/S_SonyStyle_Stores

EBay is a great way for many people to order things on line. However, these tech stores like Apple, MS, Sony, Samsung,etc., continue to offer a physical environment to look, touch & purchase products directly.
Thus, the physical store setting remains very popular & online_shopping has convenience going for it.

Sometimes a virtual shopping_mall is just as good as a physical mall, especially if one has a cold or just isn't feeling well enough to go out shopping.

Jimmy Wales and Mark Zuckerberg, etc.

Jimmy_Wales is the captain of this growing endeavor. However, it started out as a Wales & Sanger production. There was bound to be some controversy perhaps in a way like Mark_Zuckerberg & Eduardo_Saverin.

The eventual departures of Larry_Sanger-Wikipedia & Eduardo_Saverin-Facebook allowed Jimmy_Wales-Wikipedia & Mark_Zuckerberg-Facebook to each become #1 respectively.

Steve_Jobs & Steve_Wozniak also went their separate ways. In a way, Steve_Jobs was forced to leave Apple twice.

Time travel & access to parallel worlds & other realms are concepts that some people have a pretty good grasp of, but most people don't.

However, the level of science & energy required is still quite a ways off.

Big_data acquired & processed through Supercomputers is in effect, trying to record everything possible.
Interpolation & Extrapolation provide an additional approximation to captured data-files.

The concept of the Akashic_records has been around since ancient times & modern science is attempting to imitate what seems to be akin to a cosmic database.

Indeed, all religions imply that this world & universe is part of an interactive recording & projection of space & time. http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/12/14/scientists-ask-are-we-all-part-of-the-matrix
It is hoped that most people wont be interested in noticing coincidence & synchronicity. Otherwise, more people just might start to question reality. http://www.idsia.ch/~juergen/digitalphysics.html,

There is a tendency to focus on just one religion & dismiss all others.

Science can dismiss & ignore a lot of things. However, there remain many patterns & cosmic clues.
