I just have to post a link to this excellent article, which has been cited on RD.net. Although mainly a response to an article by Lanza and Chopra, it is also an excellent introduction to the latest ideas about the origin of the universe and the interpretation of quantum mechanics.

I posted a comment about this. It is something I would like to read more on.-The Hawking and Hertzog (2006) ideas about looking backwards at possible past histories of the universe, and time becoming a space dimension are also intriguing (and probably better than Stenger's interpretation of Hawking and Hartle's earlier work).-The writers also agree with my observations that consciousness is not such a great mystery as is made out by many.
