The Biocentric Universe Theory: Life Creates Time, Space, and the Cosmos Itself

"According to biocentrism, time does not exist independently of the life that notices it. The reality of time has long been questioned by an odd alliance of philosophers and physicists. The former argue that the past exists only as ideas in the mind, which themselves are neuroelectrical events occurring strictly in the present moment. Physicists, for their part, note that all of their working models, from Isaac Newton’s laws through quantum mechanics, do not actually describe the nature of time. The real point is that no actual entity of time is needed, nor does it play a role in any of their equations. When they speak of time, they inevitably describe it in terms of change. But change is not the same thing as time.

Everything we perceive is actively and repeatedly being reconstructed inside our heads in an organized whirl of information. Time in this sense can be defined as the summation of spatial states occurring inside the mind. So what is real? If the next mental image is different from the last, then it is different, period. We can award that change with the word time, but that does not mean there is an actual invisible matrix in which changes occur. That is just our own way of making sense of things. We watch our loved ones age and die and assume that an external entity called time is responsible for the crime."

YOU MEAN SCIENCE HAS FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH MY 5TH GRADE DAYDREAMING?!

Uh yeah... Time doesn't exist, it's a figment of the imagination, and a byproduct of memory. I've known that since I was like 10. But then I am able to think outside of my own immediate monkey-brain frame of reference, in terms of astrological rather than human scale.

It feels good to be told I'm right and my high-school physics teacher was wrong, by a published peer-reviewed science magazine.

It doesn't really seem to say that Life creates the universe as much as "consciousness creates the ideas of time and space, which are only illusions created by out limited ability to perceive the universe."

To be fair, the "observation" of the light is not so simple as "if we don't look, A, if we do look, B."

Light will always act as a wave if we don't interfere with the wave.

When we "observe" the light particles as individuals, we throw energy at it, and some energy is bounced back, and we use that bounced energy to detect the presence of individual photons.

The use of that energy to observe the photons alters the behavior of the photon by changing the photon when it is struck by that additional energy.

It's not a matter of whether you are looking at it with your concious mind, it's a matter of whether or not you are shooting energy at it.

So , we are all "god" . Or maybe the universe is mother and indulges us . Easy to say , hard to know , good to think about .

Have you ever seen What The Bleep Do We Know?

This is fascinating!!!
