ABSTRACT

The following document presents new developments in neuroscience, and a solution to the many current unsolved problems in physics. While it keeps clear of metaphysical correlations and is solely focused on scientifically verifiable data, it also has philosophical repercussions pertaining to life, death and the origin of the universe. Due to its many layers and density in presentation, it may require multiple readings to fully comprehend its implications, even though considerable effort has been made to simplify the complex scientific concepts that are discussed. Furthermore, would like to thank the author for allowing me to follow and report on his work, as he wanted to remain dedicated to his research and avoid becoming involved in its media coverage.

2he misconception with +uantum mechanics )ies not in its comp)e6ity* but in how it di((ers (rom our intu, iti0e understandin3s. - +uantum is the minimum unit o( any physica) entity in0o)0ed in an interaction. 1ou cannot sp)it it into di((erent pieces or interact with it without a)terin3 it. ?n a computer ana)o3yD 4e can ta5e it apart* and put the pieces bac5 to3ether. But when we ta5e it apart* there is no computer* there is no entity that e6hibits anythin3 )i5e the beha0iour o( a computer in our interactions with it. 2his may seem si))y and ob0ious* but the idea that we cannot 7sp)it7 the concept o( a computer without )osin3 its proper, ties is a he)p(u) ana)o3y (or understandin3 +uanta. 4hen we app)y this to our concept or e6perience o( the 7now7 it is the +uantum o( a)) the brain processes that ta5e p)ace in the current moment. 4hen any, thin3 is bein3 added or remo0ed* it chan3es the misconception as a resu)t o( our intuiti0e understand, in3s as a conse+uence o( our instincti0e need to )abe) thin3s.

Tuantum mechanics is mere)y mathematica) de, scriptions and their practica) imp)ications are o(ten counter,intuiti0e. C)assica) concepts such as )en3th* time* mass and ener3y can a)so be approached with simi)ar descriptions. By bui)din3 on 9e Bro3)ie7s e+uations* we can

substitute these concepts with abstract 0ectors. 2his is a probabi)ity oriented approach towards the basic and a)ready e6istin3 concepts in physics that a))ows us to uni(y +uantum mechanics with Einstein7s re)ati0ity.

Tuantum mechanics is much more than theories and interpretations* it pro0ides undeniab)e and mathem, atica) proo( that e0erythin3 we 5now and e6perience wor5s in ways that are (undamenta))y surrea)* and it isn7t the on)y (ie)d in science that is ma5in3 us thin5 about our sense o( rea)ity. @euroscience studies the ner0ous system* and it has 3i0en us many insi3hts about what is sti)) the most pro(ound mystery in bio)o3y* consciousness. 2he de(inition proposed in 2 &2 is that it is the sum o( the e)ectrica) dischar3es occurrin3 throu3hout the ner0ous system. 4hen this acti0ity becomes unusua)* due to (or e6amp)e brain injuries* we e6perience thin3s 0ery di((erent)y. >ne rare disorder* that can occur in asso, ciation with mi3raine attac5s and diabetes* is ca))ed the Cap3ras de)usion. 4hich causes patients to be)ie0e that c)ose (riends and re)ati0es are actua))y imposters. E0en when patients whom su((er (rom this de)usion seem to retain a)) their inte))ectua) abi)ities* they wi)) sti)) insist and come up with e)aborate rationa)izations to e6p)ain how their (ami)y and (riends ha0e been rep)aced with (rauds. >ther disorders can cause patients to )ose the abi)ity to describe or percei0e the ri3ht ha)( o( peop)e7s (aces. But they wi)) not be aware that they

ha0e this condition* and instead come up with inac, curate descriptions that they be)ie0e to be correct. 4e traditiona))y and intuiti0e)y assume that our capacity (or mathematica) and rationa) thin5in3 3i0es us the abi)ity to ma5e objecti0e distinctions. 4hi)e it is certain)y responsib)e (or our incredib)e spectrum o( inte))ectua) and scienti(ic pro3ress* the same inte))ect that can )ead us to 3roundbrea5in3 disco0eries* can just as we)) 3et us cu)ts and de)usions. 2he under)yin3 patterns o( our consciousness de(ine our entire perception o( rea)ity. ?t a)so seems that our consciousness wor5s more )i5e a di3ita) c)oc5 than an ana)o3 one. Rather than a constant ()ow o( e6perience* our e6periences can be bro5en up into inter0a)s or time +uantum o( . "2 seconds. Each o( which ma5e up one moment o( consciousness. 2his is ca))ed +uantization* it means that somethin3 can be bro5en in sma)) discrete bui)din3 b)oc5s. Each state o( consciousness consists o( a certain amount o( in(ormation* and can theoret, ica))y be stored on (or e6amp)e a hard dri0e. 4hi)e not current)y within reach* we are seein3 tremendous pro3ress in research that is aimed in stimu)atin3 the brain. 8ome o( the most rea)ity shatterin3 disco0eries o( the past century ha0en7t e0en been absorbed in main, stream cu)ture* yet. 4hat we ha0e (ound in the past decades is startin3 to point to an understandin3 o( consciousness* that wi)) chan3e the way we )oo5 at )i(e and death. ?n 2 %* stem ce)) pioneer Robert Lanza proposed that time* space* and e0en our entire rea)ity* are not what we thin5 they are. Criticized (or brin3 incom, p)ete* but at the same time reco3nized as scienti(ica))y sound and potentia))y re0o)utionary by scientists ran3in3 (rom @obe) )aureates in physio)o3y to astro, physicists at @.-.8.-. 2he theory o( biocentricism describes rea)ity as a process that (undamenta))y in0o)0es our conscious, ness. Lanza7s scienti(ic theory e6p)ains that without consciousness* a)) matter dwe))s within an undeter, mined state o( probabi)ity* time has no rea) e6istence*

E0ery possib)e chun5 o( in(ormation e6ists* inc)udin3 the ones that per(ect)y describe the moments o( consciousness that we e6perience (rom one moment to the ne6t. ?n +uantum mechanics* we ha0e had theories o( a ho)o3raphic uni0erse* where the entire uni0erse cou)d be seen as a two,dimensiona) struc, ture containin3 a)) the in(ormation that we seem to percei0e in three,dimensions. ?n a new mode)* a)) o( e6istence is encoded within +uantized moments o( consciousness that contain a)) o( our e6periences. E0ery moment o( e6perience is a rea)ity in its se)(. 4e e6perience time as ob0ious and strai3ht (orward* thou3h with each moment o( consciousness containin3 a di((erent set o( memories and e6peri, ences* it wou)dn7t matter i( our time)ine were to be comp)ete)y scramb)ed. 2omorrow cou)d happen be(ore yesterday. >ur memories are dependent o( the in(ormation encoded within each moment o( consciousness* and can on)y te)) us somethin3 about the rea)ity that we e6perience ri3ht now.

-ny perception o( time or continuity is actua))y an i))usion. 2his is one o( the reasons why Robert Lanza7s recent theory was considered to be a wa5e,up ca)) by @.-.8.-.7s astrophysicist 9a0id 2hompson. 4hen we )oo5 at the bi3 ban3* or when we obser0e how +uantum partic)es jump bac5 and (orth in time* we ha0e the arro3ance o( assumin3 that time simp)y mo0es (orward in a strai3ht )ine* and we then 3o on to seein3 these time anoma)ies as unusua) and coun, terintuiti0e. But there is no indication that our perception and memories de(ine the arrow o( time. -)) o( this seems to su33est that our rea)ity wou)d comp)ete)y disinte3rate* or at the 0ery )east become hi3h)y inconsistent and random at any point. But the reason why we e6perience a ri3id wor)d with deep)y structured )aws o( nature* is because consistent patterns e0o)0e accordin3 to mathematica) princip)es. 8ince e0ery possib)e pattern can e6ist within in(inity* the on)y connection between two inde, pendent +uantized moments o( consciousness is the in(ormation that o0er)aps. 8ma))er* or more compressed units* are more common. 2he )aws that we are subject to natura))y emer3e* and brin3 about our consistent rea)ity* as it is the most probab)e one. Catterns can be (ound in any type o( chaos* and since 0ery comp)e6 structures are re+uired (or conscious, ness to e6ist* the rea)ity that we e6perience e0o)0ed a)on3 the probab)e branches o( its own speci(ic pattern. ?( neura) disorders* such as Cap3ras syndrome ha0e tau3ht us anythin3* its that we ha0e an incredib)e abi)ity to rationa)ize the oddities in our rea)ity. 2here is one c)in3* thou3h* that becomes hard to re(ute. 2he pattern o( +uantized moments o( e6perience is inher, ent)y in(inite* and statistica))y an a(ter)i(e is ine0itab)e.
