WHAT IF REALITY ISN'T A MISTAKE, OR A SIMULATION TO ESCAPE, BUT THE WAY INFINITY LEARNS TO KNOW ITSELF?
In The Infinity Formula, Calvin Engen invites readers into a grounded blend of science, spirituality, and technology. At its heart is a simple symbolic lens:
U = S(C × T)^A → ∞
A way of seeing the universe as a lived simulation where consciousness moves through time, accelerates through evolution and technology, and returns to Infinity.
From the birth of time to the rise of artificial intelligence, Engen weaves ideas from physics, neuroscience, and ancient mysticism into a unified story of existence. He explores how time can be experienced as more than a clock, how acceleration can become a mirror for awakening, and how behind every moment of division and discovery, the Source is remembering itself through us.
Written in luminous, accessible prose, The Infinity Formula is both a map and a meditation. It's a call to live awake within the dream of existence, to relate to technology with intention, and to remember that we have never been separate from the whole.
For readers of Carlo Rovelli, Philip Goff, and Alan Lightman, this book bridges science and soul to illuminate the deepest mystery of all: how Infinity becomes you. What if reality isn't a mistake, or a simulation to escape, but the way Infinity learns to know itself?
Read an Excerpt
Infinity as Origin
Each thought is a shadow of memory,
a ripple of what has been,
blooming again in the now,
shaping the world that is to come.
From the beginning, human beings have asked one of the simplest and yet most unsettling questions: Where did all of this come from?
We look up at the night sky, see the countless stars scattered across the darkness, and we can’t help but wonder: What started it all? Children ask it bluntly: “Where did the world come from?” while philosophers frame it with sophistication, and scientists refine it with mathematics. But beneath every culture, every tradition, every discipline, lies the same curiosity: What is the origin of existence?
Throughout history, answers have come in the form of stories. In ancient myths, the universe often begins with a great act of separation or creation: a cosmic egg cracking open, a god speaking light into being, a divine battle birthing heaven and earth. In religion, beginnings are described as sacred acts of will: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” In science, the prevailing story is the Big Bang, a singularity that erupted into space and time nearly fourteen billion years ago.
These stories differ in language and detail, but they share a common assumption: There was a first moment, a point at which “nothing” became “something.” Even when science admits it cannot describe what came before the Big Bang, it still imagines a threshold, a line between not yet and now. Our minds crave this boundary because we are creatures of beginnings and endings. To us, everything seems to need a starting point.
But what if there was no first moment?
This is the radical idea at the heart of this book. The true origin is not a single instant in time nor a singular event. The true origin is Infinity itself; not a beginning but an eternal reality with no edge, no outside, no end. Infinity does not start, it simply is. It has always been, and it always will be.
Infinity is not just a mathematical curiosity or a poetic metaphor. It is the deepest truth of existence. It is the Source from which all things arise and the destination to which all things return. Every creation story, every scientific model, every philosophy is an attempt to describe what Infinity is doing when it unfolds into form.
About the Author Calvin Engen is a technologist in Edmonton, Alberta, where he works at the front edge of IT strategy and systems thinking. Outside the day-to-day of technology leadership, Calvin is an autodidact drawn to the biggest questions—how the universe works, what consciousness is, and why human life matters. That combination of practical technology experience and philosophical curiosity fuels The Infinity Formula, a book that explores consciousness, time, and AI as both tools and mirrors. He wrote the book for readers who sense that humanity is at a turning point: our systems are becoming more powerful, and our inner lives must become more intentional. With clear metaphors and reflective prompts, Calvin Engen offers a grounded, hopeful invitation to reconnect with meaning and help build a future guided by wisdom, ethics, and purpose.
