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 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.

It's already good for artificial characters, but it can virtually extend or revive things for human actors.

Whether that's for actors who have gotten old, or have long since died, CGI can allow them to continue in their prime, albeit in just a digital context.

Ray_Kurzweil has done a tremendous amount of research over the decades. However, some areas of research still seems to be lacking. That the universe could be an interactive recording & projection of space & time that consciousness experiences life in. Teleportation is indicative of recording and transmitting data & energy. Time travel is the ability to temporally move through this cosmic matrix.

Then there is the issue of synchronicity, that's indicative of perceiving peculiar patterns of coincidence through this interactive recording. If consciousness & life forms exist on other worlds & dimensions, some of them could be of a malevolent or indifferent nature. https://fusionanomaly.net/childhoodsend.html

The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge (Pearl Bridge)

A 1995 earthquake causes a change in the bridge. 1990 becomes 1991m & 3910 becomes 3,911m.

The bridge has three spans. The central span is 1,991 m (6,532 ft),^[1] and the two other sections are each 960 m (3,150 ft). The bridge is 3,911 m (12,831 ft) long overall. The two towers were originally 1,990 m (6,529 ft) apart, but the Great Hanshin earthquake on January 17, 1995, moved the towers so much (only the towers had been erected at the time) that the span had to be increased by 1 m (3.3 ft).^[1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashi_Kaiky%C5%8D_Bridge#Structural_form

Although in primary design the AKB was 3,910 meters long overall, with a center span of 1,990 meters, it was extended 1 meter by the Great Hanshin Earthquake...
