In the beginning there was prespacetime (GOD) by itself materially empty and spiritually restless. And it began to imagine through primordial self-referential spin such that it created the external object to be observed and internal object as observed, separated them into external world and internal world, cause them to interact through self-referential Matrix Law and thus gave birth to the Universe which it has since passionately loved, sustained and made to evolve. In short, this is our hypothesis of a scientific genesis (principle of existence).

2008 is a year in which the world’s economical, financial and even political systems are going through unprecedented turmoil and earth-shaking transformations. Yet, it seems that nothing has changed in Science except that many scientists are sadly loosing there jobs and/or funding. Religion also seems to be stagnant with the exceptions that various hastened prophecies of 2012 are flourishing and charitable contributions are in drastic declines.

In contrast to other books popularizing quantum mechanics, the importance and significance of this book is that it both explicitly discusses the connections between quantum mechanics and consciousness, and is used as course material for liberal arts students at the authors’ university (UC Santa Cruz) and perhaps elsewhere. Teaching with humor and sometimes in parables, the authors skillfully expose some of the enigmas of quantum mechanics with emphasis on their connections to consciousness.

An anisotropic and inhomogeneous exact solution is found to the empty 2N dimensional superspace Einstein field equations. The solution has N fermionic and N bosonic coordinates. This solution has the superspace reversal symmetries. This solution has not been created by the gauge transformations. The solution includes the fermionic (anticommutative) and bosonic (commutative) coordinates at the fermion-boson sector of the metric, symmetrically.

The inflationary phase of the evolution of the ten dimensional universe is considered. The form of the stress-energy tensor of the matter in the very early universe is determined by making use of some thermodynamical arguments. In this way, the Einstein field equations are written and some inflationary cosmological solution is found to these equations in which, while the actual dimensions are exponentially expanding, the others are contracting.

Electric spin effects are effects of electric fields on the dynamics/motions of nuclear/electron spins and related phenomena. Since classical brain activities are largely electric, we explore here a model of mind-brain interaction within the framework of spin-mediated consciousness theory in which these effects in the varying high-voltage electric fields inside neural membranes and proteins mediate mind-brain input and output processes.

A short history of the discovery of gravitationally attracting dark matter and anti-gravitating repelling dark energy together making up ~ 96% of the stuff of the universe is given. My thesis is that both are exotic w = -1 vacuum phases of post-inflation residual negative and positive zero point density respectively with both gravity and torsion emerging from the cohered zero point energies of the pre-inflation unstable false vacuum of massless quantum fields.

Benjamin has written an article entitled “Dark Chemistry or Psychic Spin Pixel?” which promotes a “dark chemistry” model of mind and discuss the spin-mediated theory. This hypothetical chemistry is based on the hypothetical axion dark matter. Although Benjamin is commendable for boldly going where no one has gone before, he may find himself still in the “bright” territory instead of the “dark” side, if he is willing to use Occam’s razor to cut out “dark” things and replace them with non-local effects.

Quantum entanglement is ubiquitous in the microscopic world and manifests itself macroscopically under some circumstances1, 2. But common belief is that it alone cannot be used to transmit information3 nor could it be used to produce macroscopic non-local effects. Yet we have recently found evidence of non-local effects of chemical substances on the brain produced through it4, 5. While our reported results are under independent verifications by other groups, we report here our experimental findings of non-local chemical, thermal and gravitational effects in simple physical systems such as reservoirs of water quantum-entangled4 with water being manipulated in a remote reservoir.

Although theories and speculations abound, there is no consensus on the origin or cause of gravity. Presumably, this status of affair is due to the lack of any experimental guidance. In this paper, we will discuss its ontological origin, implications and potential applications by thinking outside the mainstream notions of general relativity and quantum gravity.
