The Quantum Computing Conscious Universe and the Extended Deep Ecology Hypothesis: Implications for Medicine, Agriculture and Technology

Monendra Grover

The human consciousness has been proposed to have several levels of consciousness, some of which are higher than others. I propose that the universe also has several levels of consciousness. To quantify the states of consciousness I propose the term consciousness vector. I further propose a extended deep ecology hypothesis which states that all human activity, including in the fields of medicine, agriculture and technology should be targeted so as to achieve the highest levels of consciousness of the universe (or the highest magnitude of the consciousness vector). The elementary particles have been proposed to have consciousness which is lost in bigger chunks of non living mater due to quantum decoherence. The non-living matter may also become quantum coherent in the higher states of consciousness of the universe. Thus I envisage that higher levels of consciousness of universe would include non living matter which may become conscious in the described state of consciousness of universe.

Interpretation of the Non-Locality Problem in Quantum Mechanics through the Consciousness Model

Dhananjay Pal

As per Penrose, consciousness is a part of the universe. Scientists have arrived at a simple but decisive conclusion that consciousness is very much a part of the universe, like other objects. Our consciousness model involving thought-carrying particle (TCP), thought retaining particle (TRP) and thought force (TF) signifies the existence of universal consciousness that exists along with the universe. This universal consciousness is a functional state of the universal mind. This universal mind (UM) is evolved at the Big Bang from void. The UM is constituted by these TCP and TRP in the inherent presence of thought force (TF). Thought force (TF) is an expression of universal consciousness. A single field emerged at the origin of the universe, already containing within itself the blueprint of the physical universe. The primordial single field triggered the onset of the universe. Most physicists believe that a single super-force dominated the first instants of creation. The Thought force (TF) being the primordial quantum field functions as the original super-force. TF being the original super-force functions as the origin of all the fundamental fields. TCP is the carrier of thought force (TF) that, in turn, appears to be the origin of all the fields. The quantized energy (εT) of TCP is responsible to cause the universal consciousness as well as the cosmic microwave background radiation temperature. The individual consciousness owes its origin to the universal consciousness created by the sameεT. The sameεT is the energy responsible for generating thought force (TF). TF being an expression of the universal consciousness is applicable to any inanimate object as well as to any biological system (having thinking ability). The TF exerts its functions both in vitro and in vivo. The universal consciousness exists throughout the universe in the form of universe wide web (uww) covering the universe as a whole with all its parameters (including void) and inhabitants (with or without consciousness). Everything in this universe is interlinked and intertwined through the existence of the quantum mechanical activities of these TCP in the inherent presence of TRP. Non-locality problem in quantum mechanics can be interpreted through the quantum mechanical activities of these TCP and TRP in the presence of thought force (TF) in vitro and thought force (TF) in vivo.

Universal Field of Quantum Consciousness: An Ontological Nexus of Classical and Quantum Physics

Sirajul Husain

A Universal Field of Quantum-Consciousness is postulated for interpreting non-locality, without violating the laws of classical physics, by virtue of the inherent attribute of unity of the phenomenon of quantum-consciousness. By substantiating unity of quantum-consciousness, in terms of its contribution in the neuroscientific evolution of unity of human-consciousness, plausibility of the Universal Field of Quantum-Consciousness is explored as an ontological interface between the classical and quantum- physics.
