Quantum Cosmology and Consciousness

For over a century, physics has pursued a unified description of nature linking quantum mechanics, relativity, and cosmology, yet consciousness—our direct window into existence—remains unaccounted for. This review proposes that consciousness continuity is not an emergent accident of neural complexity but a quantum informational invariant, conserved across transformations of its physical substrate. Grounded in the empirical absence of “zombie” organisms and extended through a synthesis of quantum information theory, cosmological logic, and the author’s previous Two-Particle Quantum Bonding Hypothesis (TPQBH), the framework introduces a Quantum Informational Bonding (QIB) mechanism operating within a universal Hilbert space. This mechanism preserves an identity parameter (𝓘₍C₎) analogous to conservation laws in physics. The resulting cosmological model implies an infinite, centre-less universe and a unidirectional arrow of time emerging from informational continuity. The theory reframes the “hard problem” of consciousness as a missing symmetry in fundamental physics—one connecting subjective experience, information, and spacetime structure.

Indeterminacy, entanglement, non-locality and objective reality are the broad areas in quantum physics that have some bearing to the reality of consciousness. If consciousness has a tangible effect on matter, it should not be considered as taboo to talk about it in physics. We postulate free-will to be the characteristic feature of consciousness, the existence of which can be mathematically modeled and studied. In this paper we argue that, in the light of present developments, both quantum mechanics and cosmology point to a Consciousness Controlled Cosmos.
