In the twenty-first century, Hungarian physicist Ervin László called this hypothetical realm the A-field, or Akashic field, after the Sanskrit term for space. For him, the quantum vacuum stretches across time and space and carries information with it. If and when we access that field, we gain entry to a world of incredibly dense, non-local data. Think of accessing the A-field as closer to surfing the internet instead of picking the Encyclopaedia Britannica off the shelf.
