Abstract
The universe is fundamentally analog with no true separateness. I view the universe differently from the description of theoretical physics. To make my case, I rely upon work of my own. A brief mathematical introduction describes a mechanical model of light. It includes a new view on the cause of gravity and a new mathematical expression for the energy of photons. I discuss life, intelligence and how we directly experience the universe. This contrasts with the mechanical model. The conclusion brings the mechanical model, life and intelligence together demonstrating the total analog nature of our universe.
