just as the big bang sprung forth this universe starting at t=0 going in the positive time dimension, there is another part of the universe on the "other side" of the big bang ("before" the big bang), with time moving in the opposite direction, with entropy going the same way as well (so its not like borken glasses are jumping onto tables and reassembling each other). as per CPT symmetry, this 'opposite' universe is where all the missing anti-matter is. Also apparently this would make inflation unnecessary which is 👍 in my book because cosmic inflation has always seemed like a grifter's crock to me.
matter isn't real, energy isn't real, the fabric of spacetime isn't even real, the only thing that actually exists is information, and everything else is just emergent from that. more here
questions like "do I have free will" come from the faulty premise that "I" refers to a singular discrete thing. My feelings are that the conscious experience that we all perceive as our identity is actually a conglomerate of several dozens/hundreds/thousands/(???) of processes that often but not always coherent with each other. Often times many decisions or acts that otherwise would invoke free will arise from a disagreement between the "zooids" of the mind and whichever part comes out on top is analogous to making a 'free choice'
i'm not really sure how much i buy it, but Penrose's Orch-OR theory of quantum consciousness is so fucking out there and bizarre but yet pieces seem to keep falling together out of nowhere.

Isn't this idea being taken seriously by the scientific community as of recently?

Something like this is almost certainly true IMO, maybe not Penrose's exact idea but something to that extent. Check out "Why Materialism is Baloney" by Bernardo Kastrup, he outlines IMO very convincing arguments why a physicalist metaphysic is bullshit.
