Smoot's Conjecture

All of the possible histories of the universe, past and future, are encoded on the apparent horizon of the universe.

This is how George F. Smoot understands the Verlinde Revolution. It sounds like the Tollaksen-Aharonov idea. Past and Future affect the Present. Also it encodes Leonard Susskind and Gerard 't Hooft idea that Information is conserved. The Apparent Horizon of Smoot is a surface with an entropy constant flux.

Since nobody knows my proposal it is not there. That is good.

Here I go. If the 1D-Cellular Automaton Rule 110 has anything to do with the ultimate law of Quantum Gravity, then another possibility is that in the past the rule is precisely given but nobody can know the answer until it finishes. Which is never, because we have a Universal Computer, and therefore an NP problem.

One has to at least comment, that the rule may be given in the past of the apparent horizon one happens to choose; but not very differently than what Hawking had in mind: Not only does God play dice, he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen. We cannot see, not because they are not there, but because we do not have an answer to a question that keeps surprising us forever.

As Freeman Dyson says: The Universe is as interesting as it can be.
