1:02:56 Completely Self-educated. Working from 1st Principles
1:03:45 If the CTMU was incorrect, we could not perceive anything

1:04:28 Thoughts on Infinitesimals?
1:06:54 People mock the CTMU because it speaks of God
1:07:46 God and CTMU. The Identity. The Word was God. CTMU= Logos= God
1:09:03 How did you arrive to God?
1:09:50 Does it tie into The Bible. God is The Identity of Reality. God is Ultimate Reality. God is Everything
