rek:I'm not sure, can you give me more specifics about what this theory involves?-I'm not trying to take us off point of understanding your 'new' modification of QM theory, but as dhw notes in his current dicussions, we do have the bigger picture of seeing if QM leads us to some more inclusive conclusions about the origin of our reality, God, chance, or otherwise.-What I am referring to is the study of Near to Death episodes and the conclusions reached by recent authors that that a quantum level causes retention of consciousness during a period of documented total inactivity of the brain. The studies by Pim van Lommel, a cardiologist, and the autobiographical book by Eben Alexander, an academic neurosurgeon, who experienced a week of severe infectious meningoencephalitis and retained a memory of what he feels is a journey to Heaven: "Proof of Heaven", 2112, by E.A., M.D. Speaking as a retired internist, this guy is no kook, and the medically scientific underpinnings of his story are valid.-As I sort out your theory in my brain, I'm trying to see if your role a philosopher carries over to the wider implications this website delves into. I hope you will remain patient. Do you see the possibility of your theory opening up any road to understanding a theory of the source of consciousness?
