The Physics and Mind-Body Problem


The Grand Relativity theory as we have discussed so far is now about to enter into what we recognize as metaphysics. We describe the interrelationship of intelligence-consciousness with matter-energy and space-time which represents the properties of a universal primary substance comprising the whole existences within the universe.
We have shown that matter is not tangible and persistent as what most people perceive. Deep in the quantum realm, a matter is perpetually created and annihilated to and fro energy resulting in a series of a broad gap of nonexistence separating two successive existences.
To avoid total disorder, the energy as the only substance which persists through such successive [material] existence-nonexistence, should be able to carry, store and process the information from the annihilated [physical] existence to the newly created one.

The information and energy are, in fact, two different aspects of the same thing. The information like energy is a primary entity, the foundation that builds physical reality 1). Both of them together dare metaphysically recognized as conscience-intelligence a).  As does the energy, the information, as well as intelligence-consciousness waves, permeate throughout the whole universe. Being different aspects of the same substance, they are the primary property of the universe being present at, before and after the beginning of the [four-dimensional] physical world creation.

This paradigm shift radically changes our perspective on the nature of the subjective consciousness that human and other animated beings possess. The consciousness is not a merely biological phenomenon which is caused by a neurobiological process in the brain as most modern scientists hold 2). They consider consciousness and life as an evolutionary process which occurs by mere accident.

On the contrary, the consciousness in its most profound reality is the primary entity which permeates the whole thing which the brain and some other nerve systems may intercept. Certain parts of the brain should function just like a biological radio device, or a processing computer with quantum “internet” access b)
Dissecting the brain to search the seat of consciousness is like dismantling a radio to find the source of voices, without knowing the function of the antenna. It is therefore imperative to discover a sort of biological antennae in the brain and other particular nerve systems.
We may recall that the structure of biological cells, especially those having membrane potential, allows the cells to function as a battery. It provides power to operate a variety of molecular devices embedded in the membrane or used for transmitting signals between different parts of an excitable cell.


Researching the phenomenon similar to the action potential occurs in excitable cells in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls may eventually lead us to the discovery of such biological antennae.


The concept of the intelligence-consciousness realm independent of the physical world was in line with the old belief in Middle Age when Descartes postulated the dualism nature of consciousness (mind) and matter. For him, consciousness exists on a separate, non-physical level c), which elements had no spatial characteristics.

Berkeley went to the extreme proposing that even if the material world was not there and only rational world d) remained, everything would continue to appear as usual even though there would be nothing in reality but mental experience.
 Notes:
a.   We refer here to the universal intelligence-consciousness termed as a primary entity which permeates the whole thing, not exclusively the one that refers to the relationship between the mind and the world with which it interacts, except otherwise specified. The nature of intelligence is superior (having higher dimensions) than the consciousness similar to what the energy to matter or time to space (Figure-2).
b.    On top of consciousness waves having more general in character, there are countless particularized consciousness waves permeating the universe, each appropriate only for a particular individual depending on his or its "fingerprint".
c.    What Descartes meant by "non-physical" world may be interpreted as the world having higher dimensions than those of our ordinary four-dimensional physical world.
d.  Berkeley's mental world is the same as what Descartes meant by the non-physical world.
