Consciousness and A Quantum View of the World

Lately I've been thinking about the possibility that the unidentified dark matter and dark energy in our universe, which alters the orbital speed of interstellar gas and dust and exerts a gravitational force on visible matter, is actually consciousness, itself.

There are vast amounts of missing matter in our universe--About 72% of our universe is comprised of dark energy and 24% dark matter. Only about 4% of our universe is actually comprised of ordinary matter and interstellar gas and dust (in other words, everything made up of atoms, including humans).To put it in perspective, in our galaxy alone, if stars were individual grains of salt, it would take about 40,000 containers of salt to equal the amount of stars in our galaxy, and the distance from one grain of salt to another would be around 15 miles in open space. That is just our galaxy. I could elaborate further on the vastness of space and how insignificant our little lives are, but I'll save that. I find it funny and ironic that the superclusters of clusters of galaxies in our universe kind of resemble the brain's neurons. The superclusters are like cobwebs that span over 100 million light years and are separated by vast voids.

Just like the shapes of the foods we eat sometimes coincide with the health benefits to particular organs (for example walnuts are shaped like a brain and they help brain function, tomatoes are red and have 4 chambers and are good for the heart), perhaps it is not coincidental that the largest structures observed in the universe resemble neurons.

I searched online to see if anyone had expounded on my theory of dark matter and dark energy actually being consciousness, and came across a paper outlining basically everything I was thinking.  He uses no scientific/psychological jargon and poses his thoughts and ideas with little references or experimental evidence, but it is easy for anyone to read and understand. I also find that he has a sort of Taoist undercurrent to the structure of his wording. He seems very into spiritualism and consciousness, as am I.  I dig the way this dude thinks.

Also, here's a video of Dean Radin. I remember seeing this guy in the movie/documentary "What The Bleep? Down the Rabbit Hole". He is a researcher and author in the field of parapsychology and was the former president of the Parapsychological Association. He wrote The Conscious Universe and Entangled minds.

  2. LOL! Yeah, we'll have to do some experiments. There are a lot of things I want to try. We're on the right path.
