My understanding, it's based on quantum computing, it's not hooey. But it can only 'see' so much.

We would have laughed at a digital world creating sound and images and movies 50 years ago, it would have seemed like black magic.

I still believe Azimov's Foundation series of books are still just Science Fiction. We still don't have fluid dynamics of more than one fluid modeled correctly and the looking glass is supposed to predictive model the entire earth and every biological entity within it?

Agree, I think it's just a matter of terms, what I'm calling looking glass is just quantum computing (from what I've seen).

Asimov's book was about a mechanistic Newtonian universe, and the use of a supercomputer to plot out, calculate and predict the mechanistic future. It turns out our actual universe is not mechanistic at all, and such a scenario is impossible.

Looking glass doesn't use computers to predict anything. Looking glass actually shows the most likely future timeline of the observer. In other words, the results, the future, is different depending on who is looking through the "glass." This is evidence of a quantum universe that has multiple timelines and multiple outcomes.

The 5th dimension isn't multiple timelines stemming from one universe, it is an infinite number of probable universes. We exist in one universe with a single timeline that collapses from the possible to the probable to the actual.

50 years? You must have missed a zero because 2001: A Space Oddity was released in 1968. 53 years ago.

Not sure what you mean, but I'm speaking of the ability to use math, 0's and ones, to recreate sound, and images etc. (digital). That, to those in the past, would have seemed like magic. I remember when 2001 came out, I'm old (just by the way).
