How Did Matter Come into Being?

This theory reminds me of luminiferous aether. It reifies the contradictions of our theories as properties of the universe. Couldn't explain the motion of Mercury? Wave propagation through space? Cool, just hypothesize that the universe fundamentally is of a nature that those problems go away. And of course, it used a concept that scientists at the time were very much interested in.

So too with this quantum memory matrix. Can't explain unitarity? Embed it into the structure of the universe, as a concept we are very familiar with these days: information.

I mean, maybe it's a good theory. It just seems convenient and reminds me of a theory that signals the need for a paradigm shift, rather than a paradigm shift itself

You might be right about QMM, I don't know enough about it to say anything on it. Susskind's work, however, is not in this spirit.

Speaking of Susskind's work, have you looked much into the AdS-CFT correspondence (holographic principle in general)? If not, you should when you have some time. I'm pretty sure you'll find it fascinating. (I remember you mentioning that you find quantum theory incredibly beautiful subject.)

Y’all love using big words to say “I saw it on that Simpsons episode.”
