The Physics of God
It is difficult to appreciate what is must have been like to live at the dawn of the 21st century. The climate was spiraling out of control, viral outbreaks were endemic and the global economy was failing. Demigods were the rulers of the day [...] It was not until the mid-21st century that hints of resolution began to appear. Necessity had cracked entrenched scientific dogmas, allowing new ideas to be heard. The resulting brainstorms revealed that the multiple threats were reflections of a single, underlying dilemma - an impasse that new technologies could not solve.
The challenge was rooted in humanity’s faulty understanding of consciousness, which, as we now know, is the fundamental glue that binds the fabric of reality. This truth was widely scorned in the early 21st century because it evoked age-old fears and preconceptions about what scientists of the day naively called magic. It took many generations to advance beyond those beliefs. Historians today argue the tide turned when scientists first conclusively demonstrated the plasticity of physical reality.
The evidence that the speed of light and other physical constants were mental constructs, not inviolable absolutes, provided a clear path to global harmony. By mid-21st century science had firmly placed consciousness on a continuum with matter and energy. By 2160, the World Federation of Magi was formed and neo-magicians throughout the world were tasked with restoring the earth and eradicating disease

A Paradigm Shift Away from Materialist Science
There are some dark clouds in physics. People will tell you, 'we just need to figure out which particles makes the dark matter, it's just another particle. It has some weak interaction, and that's pretty much it.' But I think there is a very good chance that we are missing some very important ingredients that a brilliant person might recognize in the coming years. The potential for a revolutionary physics breakthrough today is not smaller — it's actually bigger right now than it was in Einstein's time.
Avi Loeb, a professor of physics at Harvard University
The dominant materialist science paradigm of the 21st century reduces everything to matter. Materialist science in the West says that we are just meat, we’re just our bodies. So when the brain is dead, that’s the end of consciousness, there is no life after death, there is no soul; we just rot and are gone.
The biggest problem with their argument is that scientists should admit that consciousness is the greatest mystery of science and that we don’t know exactly how it works. The brain is involved in it some way but we’re not sure how.
It could be that the brain generates consciousness the way a generator makes electricity, if you hold to that paradigm, then of course you can’t believe in life after death, when the generator’s broken, consciousness is gone. But it’s equally possible that the relationship — and nothing in neuroscience rules it out – that the relationship is more like the relationship of the TV signal to the TV set, and in that case, when the TV set is broken, of course the TV signal continues. And this is the paradigm of all spiritual traditions, that we are immortal souls temporarily incarnated in these physical forms.
If we want to understand consciousness, the last people we should ask are materialist scientists. Instead, we should look at ancient cultures, like the Egyptians, who highly valued dream states or we should look to quantum physicists who are rewriting our understanding of the material universe.
What we perceive as our physical material world, is really not physical or material at all, in fact, it is far from it. This has been proven time and time again by multiple Nobel Prize (among many other scientists around the world) winning physicists, one of them being Niels Bohr, a Danish Physicist who made significant contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory.
Many of us have been taught a classical materialist version of physics. That knowledge is now incompatible with what physicists at the forefront of the field know today.
Physics Shows God Permeates Everything
Physics has confirmed the ancient indigenous wisdom of the Tribes of Israel. There are aspects of quantum physics that show us the divine nature of reality and the interconnectedness of all that is. The easiest way to crack open that box is to talk about consciousness or God as energy.
“If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet. Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.” – Niels Bohr
For a long time after the discovery of molecules and atoms in the seventeenth century, scientists assumed that molecules and atoms consisted of solid particles. But according to quantum physics, developed in the early twentieth century, there are no “particles” per se: Energy is the basis of material reality. Every type of particle is conceived of as a quantum vibration in a field: Electrons are vibrations in electron fields, protons vibrate in a proton field, and so on. Everything is energy, and everything is connected to everything else through fields. At its most elementary level, matter does not show up as isolated little particles; all matter is essentially one and indivisible, a connected, dynamic tissue of vibrating fields of energy.
As physicists explored the relationship between energy and the structure of matter - the belief that a physical, Newtonian material universe that was at the very heart of scientific knowing was dropped, and the realization that matter is nothing but an illusion replaced it. Scientists began to recognize that everything in the Universe is made out of energy.
“Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual” (1) – Richard Conn Henry, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University (quote taken from “the mental universe)
Therefore, if we really want to observe ourselves and find out what we are, we are really beings of energy and vibration, radiating our own unique energy signature -this is fact and is what quantum physics has shown us time and time again. We are much more than what we perceive ourselves to be, and it’s time we begin to see ourselves in that light.
It’s quite the conundrum, isn’t it? Our experience tells us that our reality is made up of physical material things, and that our world is an independently existing objective one. The revelation that the universe is not an assembly of physical parts, suggested by Newtonian physics, and instead comes from a holistic entanglement of immaterial energy waves stems from the work of Albert Einstein, Max Planck and Werner Heisenberg, among others.
What does it mean that our physical material reality isn’t really physical at all? It could mean a number of things, and concepts such as this cannot be explored if scientists remain within the boundaries of the only perceived world existing, the world we see. As Nikola Tesla supposedly said:
“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”
Math Shows the Universe is Alive and Conscious
Is the universe conscious? It seems impossible until you do the maths
The question of how the brain gives rise to subjective experience is the hardest of all. Mathematicians think they can help, but their first attempts have thrown up some eye-popping conclusions
Te question of how matter gives rise to felt experience is one of the most vexing problems we know of. And sure enough, the first fleshed-out mathematical model of consciousness has generated huge debate about whether it can tell us anything sensible. But as mathematicians work to hone and extend their tools for peering deep inside ourselves, they are confronting some eye-popping conclusions.
Not least, what they are uncovering seems to suggest that if we are to achieve a precise description of consciousness, we may have to ditch our intuitions and accept that all kinds of inanimate matter could be conscious – maybe even the universe as a whole.
“This could be the beginning of a scientific revolution,” says Johannes Kleiner, a mathematician at the Munich Centre for Mathematical Philosophy in Germany.
If so, it has been a long time coming. Philosophers have pondered the nature of consciousness for a couple of thousand years, largely to no avail. Then, half a century ago, biologists got involved. They
We Are Made of Start Dust
According to new research, half the calcium in our universe came from “calcium-rich supernova.” That means the stuff our teeth and bones is made from is, essentially, the remains of dead stars that blew up a long, long time ago.
“These events are so few in number that we have never known what produced calcium-rich supernova,” said Wynn Jacobson-Galan, Northwestern graduate student and lead author of the new study published in The Astrophysical Journal this week, in a statement.
“By observing what this star did in its final month before it reached its critical, tumultuous end, we peered into a place previously unexplored, opening new avenues of study within transient science,” Jacobson-Galan added.
An extremely bright event some 55 million light years from Earth grabbed the attention of the international astronomy community in April 2019. “Every single country with a prominent telescope turned to look at this object,” Jacobson-Galan recalled.
One Sea of Infinite Consciousness
Everything is energy, and everything is connected to everything else. The water in the ocean and the clouds in the sky. The trees and the animals. You, me, and the world around us. Everything comes from the same source and returns to it. Everything is one. Thoughts and feelings are energy as well, so everything we think and feel has an influence on everything and everyone on this planet.
In her book The Field, Lynne McTaggart gives a survey of scientific discoveries that prove that an energy field that contains everything, connecting everything to everything else, does indeed exist. Consciousness and matter, man and the reality around him—according to her they are all based on the same primary energy. Everything is energy, and according to her, the zero-point energy field is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end of our existence.
The latest scientific discoveries point more and more to a fundamental primary energy that works throughout the entire Universe and connects everything to everything else. This sea of energy that penetrates everything was fi rst measured by Dr. Harold Puthoff . The experiment was conducted at 0 degrees Kelvin, which is called absolute zero and is the same as −273 degrees Celsius. If you heat something by adding energy, the molecules move faster and faster. For instance, when heated, water starts bubbling and evaporates. The reverse happens when you cool water down: The molecules move more and more slowly, and the water freezes and solidifies. According to the old scientific model, no molecule, atom, or more elementary particle moves at absolute zero, thus at that temperature it should not be possible to measure any energy whatsoever. Instead of no energy, as expected, Puthoff found what he called “a boiling ‘witch’s cauldron’” of energy.
The German physicist Max Planck was the first to prove, in 1911, that the empty space between the planets and the atoms is indeed overflowing with energy, which he called zero-point energy. Physicist John Wheeler of Texas University later calculated that the zero-point energy of one cubic centimeter of empty space equals 10¹⁰⁸ joules. That is more than the energy in all the matter of the Universe. Other researcher’s calculations suggest a lower figure. According to the famous American physicist Richard Feynman, the energy density of the vacuum is “only” 10⁹⁵ joules per cubic centimeter. This still means that a glass full of empty space contains enough energy to set the Atlantic Ocean boiling.
The Unified Field Theory of Consciousness
Renowned quantum physicist, John Hagelin (PhD, Harvard), presents the thesis that consciousness is a unified field that contains nature's programming code and transcending through meditation is a pathway to hack / access consciousness. Hagelin is one of the few serious field theorists who understand the ancient philosophy and scriptures of the east and the west and how they relate to the unified field of consciousness.
Have We Discovered the Quantum Nature of the Soul?
Dr Stuart Hameroff, Professor Emeritus at the Departments of Anesthesiology and Psychology and the Director of the Centre of Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona along with Sir Roger Penrose have developed a quantum theory of consciousness that holds quantum substances form the soul. They believe every human has a soul which is contained inside structures called microtubules within brain cells.
They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).
Thus it is held that our souls are more than the interaction of neurons in the brain. They are in fact constructed from the very fabric of the universe - and may have existed since the beginning of time.
The concept is similar to the Buddhist and Hindu belief that consciousness is an integral part of the universe - and indeed that it is really all there may be, a position similar to Western philosophical idealism.
According to their idea, consciousness is a program for a quantum computer in the brain which can persist in the universe even after death, explaining the perceptions of those who have near-death experiences.
With these beliefs, Dr. Hameroff holds that in a near-death experience the microtubules lose their quantum state, but the information within them is not destroyed. Instead it merely leaves the body and returns to the cosmos.
Dr Hameroff told the Science Channel's Through the Wormhole documentary: 'Let's say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, the microtubules lose their quantum state.
'The quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can't be destroyed, it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large.
'If the patient is resuscitated, revived, this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the patient says "I had a near death experience".'
He adds: 'If they're not revived, and the patient dies, it's possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.'
The Orch-OR theory has come in for heavy criticism by more empirically minded thinkers and remains controversial among the scientific community.
MIT physicist Max Tegmark is just one of the many scientists to have challenged it, in a 2000 paper that is widely cited by opponents, the Huffington Post reports.
Nevertheless, Dr Hameroff believes that research in to quantum physics is beginning to validate Orch-Or, with quantum effects recently being shown to support many important biological processes, such as smell, bird navigation and photosynthesis.
