The Case for a Living Universe. Is there mind in all matter?

by Matthew R. Benton

We are composed of the same atoms as the rocks, soil, mountains and nothing more. They are apparently aware of nothing, whereas we are aware of the physical world, ourselves and much more besides. How is this possible? The current scientific view is that minds emerge from wholly unknowing matter. The idea that mind and matter are, in fact, one and the same has long been considered an elegant, although impractical answer to the question above. This book argues that we live in an intelligent, a... more

JUST PLAIN WRONG The Dalliance of Quantum Theory with the Defiance of Bell's Inequality

by Frank Lad

The educated public have long been regaled with "the mysteries of quantum physics", which enshroud far-flung claims about the fundamental nature of matter. These rely on a stunning proposition of quantum theory arising in the 1960s and contested through the subsequent sixty years: that the probabilities deriving from it defy a mathematical inequality known as Bell's inequality. John Bell himself, who formulated the problem, was puzzled by the result, and surmised that in time we would discover w... more

The Four Forces of Human Nature: A Unifying Theory

by Roberto Treviño Peña

Since physicists discovered the four fundamental forces of nature—Weak, Strong, Electromagnetic and Gravity—they have tried to unify them into one theory. Physicists went down to the subatomic level to search and ended up with vibrating strings. They went up into space and ended up with gravitons (which are yet to be found). But what do these forces mean in terms of human behavior? In The Four Forces of Human Nature: A Unifying Theory, Dr. Treviño Peña identifies the human forces and the specifi... more
