Why not put Bernard Carr's name in the title? He's a brilliant scientist in his own right, not just Hawking's friend. And I truly think his view will turn out to be closer to the truth than perhaps even Hawking's. Comment update: Thank you for all the upvotes. I'm very glad Dr. Carr's name has now been added to the title of this video. Dr. Carr may not be as well-known as Stephen Hawking, but he's one of the pioneers who have expanded our understanding of the universe and brought us to the edge of reality. And he's helping to sweep rigid materialism to where it belongs - the dustbin of history. Mad respect for Dr. Carr for his courage, his open-minded approach and for all his contributions to a deeper understanding of reality.
Valid point! I speculate that it's because Essentia is attempting to cater to RU-vid's algorithm to get more views. "Stephen Hawking" is probably a more popular search term.
Because it gives them actual legitimacy if they're the friend of a famous scientist, it drives clicks. No one cares unless you put Elon musk or Joe Rogan or Stephen Hawking in the title or thumbnail somehow, the actual content of a video isnt even the point anymore it's just a vehicle for ad revenue.
Thank you, Finally an intelligent/intuitive mind i can understand rather than all the ones who sound smart but dont really explain complex shit concisely, they have a great vocabulary to but no equanimity (openness)
The hallucinations you get from psychedelics like DMT looks as real as what you perceive to be real, it's so beautiful and almost unbelievable because I didn't know it was humanly possible to experience something like that. Would love to have the experience again if i ever find a source.
I've waited over 20 year's to hear this discussion! I've anticipated it for so long! Thank you for sharing this! Thank you Prof. Carr and Natalia for this incredible and phenomenal discussion!
There is a lot more to life than meets the eye ! A few weeks ago my wife and lost our old cat. Her name was MEEP because when she was a stray kitten and would have perished, she mewed so much that we went out and rescued her and from then on , whenever you would come into the room or look at her or pet her she would 20“ meep” . She was so old and in an immovable painful state and had been staying a mile away where we had moved away from with our son . It was a Saturday and I came home from my Luthier job and that evening was doing the LA Times crossword puzzle of the day and the clue for the top right corner was Beakers call? Answer ; MEEP ! I showed my wife who acted very emotional about it . The next day she told me that she and our son had taken Meep to the vet earlier that Saturday and Meep had been “ put to sleep”! Coincidence? I have been doing these crossword puzzles for decades and never run across the word MEEP in the answer for a clue !!!
Omg I had a black cat I found as a kitten who was screeching like some sort of dinosaur. Unfortunately she died when she was quite small on the road ..but she would always come when we called her and make a little noise. The best cat I ever met ive never felt such greif of losing anyone before. I was devastated because it was my fault I told my son to just put her out as my son had all his art portfolio out and the cat was trying to play dangerously threatening all his artwork. And to put him in a room would have had to get the younger son to clean the litter tray and I had to help my older sone with arranging his portfolio so for convenience I just said put her out. And I didn't say put her out the bakc which I normally do so my younger son put her out on the road side of the house. I have never felt so gutted when I went out and I called her name and there she was being attacked by a big Tom cat on the road. Karukaru was her name as that was the noise she made when she came tropping along to us. Sigh.
And had the clue been BANJO there would no doubt have been someone who had a dog, cat or iguana named banjo that died that day, or they found a banjo, or lost one or there was a banjo song on the radio just as they filled that clue in . Lot of people cats dogs and banjos. And FWIW if you google it meep is not an uncommon answer or clue in numerous crosswords.
@Joe-lb8qn Well aren't you a little ray of sunshine. I'm sure these people who are looking for comfort in their loss are ecstatic with your contribution!
1:19:11 about the slowing down of time, I had an experience I wish I could discuss with you-all. I was in a car accident where I could see it about to happen and I braced against the dash board. It seemed like a long time/long way off until we hit the stone wall. I was thrown up and forward so that my head went through the windshield. As I was falling back, I consciously opened my eyes with the intention of seeing the hole in the glass. I watched the bits of glass trickle away from my eyes in slow motion. When my back hit the seat-back I returned to normal time. Much later, when I visited the site where it happened I was astonished to see how short the distance from the road to the stone wall actually was. I think it's odd and interesting, but other than that I don't know what its significance is, if any. It's like scenes I've seen in movies, so I am certain others have experienced such time slowing events as well. (edited for typos)
I was in an accident last year in May. A lady hit me from the back going 65mph, no braking, as my car was parked on the road with the hazards on (I smelled something burning so I pulled over). As soon as I got back into my car after checking it, she hit me. I remember pushing back the back of my seat with all my might, as if to push the wreckage from coming closer to me AS the car slammed into me. The crazy thing about this is that I actually immediately blacked out from the whip lash. I woke up in my totaled car down a 36 foot embankment. There was blood on the airbags, but no trace of where the blood came from (I was bruised up with internal injury, but no external ones). It still confuses me to today where the blood came from and how I clearly remember pushing back on the back seat, but I was simultaneously out cold. I do wonder if it was just the physical me that was knocked out while my consciousness/spirit/soul was fighting back. So strange.
I took one and one of the things I learned was that one's take on 'reality' is *entirely* a matter of interpretation. Changes imposed on the interpreter mean altered interpretations. (Change the temperatures, timings, pressures in a mashed peas manufacturing process and the mash in the cans will have a different texture, analogously speaking).
@bradvincent2586 the little i tried was like opening your mind to sense more of what's around you. To see, feel, with less or a different filter as the guest here says i guess. To be more conscious of the wonders of reality.
@@bradvincent2586its like all the organisation that your brain does that makes everything the way is is removed and a sort of musical dance is occurring with everything and you can pick out different songs and dances from the big constant moving thing. Leave you ever looked through a kaleidoscope? Wheras when you're sober everything is in an order where the table is one table and the dog is sitting under the table and the cup is on top of the table..when you take a kaleidoscope and look through it is breaks the image up and moves it around rearranges it. Its very like that except instead of it being Ann image being rearranged it's also sound and feeling and touch etc. As the song says everything is broken up and dances. The dripping tap becomes a symphony the table is not long a r pirated from thw dog and the cup but can be flattened into one tablecupdog complex object and then can be broken up into parts so the handle of the cup and the plane of the table top and the leg of the dog can become on distinct object while the body of the cup and the legs of the table and the ears of the dog for another distinct thing which then move together as if the three became one and then split into two. Or any number of breaking apart and comings together and interactions. Then there are also perceptions of things which are not visual but which are true like one time I was lying on my bed and I realised that all of us are breathing in and out at the same time and so are the trees and that when I breath in some negative space entity is breathing out into me and when I breathe out some negative soace entity is breathing in. And that entity which is the negative soace of my breath is connected to you because its the same negative soace of your breath and that that entity seemed to have a consciousness in the same way that a beloved teddybear feels like it has a real consciousness. So that represented itself as all these eyes connected by lines but those eyes were also lungs and we are really the negative space holes in this lung each one of us like a little alveola sac connected to this lung and if you think about it you are a being a conscious being. Who breathes in. And your alveolar are sacs and negative space in your lungs but without that soace you could not breathe. If that makes sense. So also visually a shadow becomes an object and an object becomes space. Things which arranged by our mind the way they are stop being arranged in the usual way and start to be open to rearrangement which if youre in a certain mood you can control to a certain extent but if you're not in that mood then things can arrange in quays you can't control and don't like. So if you have a fear it can come out of the walls and be right there ..and those experiences can be shared. I had two friends swear a helicopter landed in the middle of the room and they both saw it. Very odd. It's very like post modernism like Picasso or like impressionism where where something is shown in unreal colours it actually represents something more real than a photograph could capture. And a bad trip can be very scary ive never had one except when I drank bad alcohol and had an absolutely horrible trip. Basically poisoned but I've seen people have a bad trip. I've always seemed to be able to not lose my mind by not trying to hang onto it too tightly. That always hurts if you want to make sense of things instead of sort of dance with it.
Socrates and Pythagoras have said some stuff that could be aligned. Such as the phrase by Socrates (I think) that by learning we are remembering something that we already know (that would be the collective Mind that knows)
I think I know where you are going with that. It’s my personal belief that the physical world is a manifestation of our consciousness projecting itself outward and then feeding back to us. Humans are actually non- material psychic beings and together, our collective projections literally create our bodies and our physical home, the Earth which we live on together.
The human mind is like a radio that can tune in to the consciousness of the universe. Our genes and experience makes us how we appear as an individual but the source of the conscious comes from the field of conciousness that permeates the entire universe. I think one day quantum physics will be able to indicate that the same way we found the higgs field, but it will probably be very difficult
This was my point earlier. This non-dualism paradigm is independently arrived at every day by thousands of people equipped with nothing more than a bit of quiet, a bit of curiosity, and if they dodged the propaganda, a bit of spiritual medicine that the authorities have outlawed because its use refutes and buries all their most precious delusions and presuppositions about reality, without even breaking a sweat
I wonder what Mr Carr would say about a meditation experience I had years ago...I was writing a letter to my mum sitting at the table. I had my friends cat "Fat cat" (who was well overweight), sitting on my lap. Whilst writing, I had an overwhelming feeling that I should meditate, so I did, still holding the pen. Then I started getting pins and needles where I was holding the pen, and I kid you not, my fingers seemed to go through the pen, and I can only describe it as, splitting into cazillion billion atoms and everything was the same tiniest form...table, chair, house and at the same time it was as expansive as the universe..Fat cat must have felt something because he flew off my lap and brought me back to this reality..it was the most incredible experience of my life. In that split second, I felt an incredible unconditional love and that everything was going to be ok. looking back, I think it was to do with the cat and he was probably purring so could have changed my frequency...and just to add, there were no drugs involved!! So get your cat sitting on your lap, hold a pen and meditate and maybe you too can experience the same 😉😍😺🪑🖊️🌌💥
I've had out of body experiences and lucid dreams and I know beyond any doubt that my consciousness became separate from the body, so to speak. When you have it , you just know.
True science keeps opening doors fearlessly raising questions and offering scientists opportunities to build new knowledge, not regurgitating past theories as a final truth. It becomes scientism that refuses new challenges too scared to move beyond their comfort zone. True Scientists know they're not meant to feel comfortable with the unexplainable, but they research and document findings anyway. All great scientists in history used their imagination or a random observation.
What a wonderful discussion and way to end the year with the Essentia Foundation. Happy New Year! Looking forward to what Essentia has to bring in 2024.

Instead of watching a lot of such interesting videos the whole year, I think this has given a good encapsulation and especially now that it has appeared in the beginning of year, I will marinate and revisit this one when I want to decompress during 2024 , meanwhile I will concentrate on clips more relevant to my immediate personal goals. May y’all who watch this have profitable and fruitful lives!
I always find Bernard delightful and love that he addresses areas where many leave gaps. This was a particularly wonderful interview with him. Bravo and thank you!
Buddha's expertise is the mind and the nature of reality. It has been and continues to be rigorously debated, analyzed and validated for 2600 years. This is the fundamental training for Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns. The Dalai Lama has been and continues to be in discussions with theoretical physicists. Quantum physics agrees with the Buddha: how we see the world is not how it actually exists. It is important not to lump Buddhism in with the theistic religions. It is something completely different.
My question is , lets say that the brain is the physical computer that receive/accommodates consciousness experience (because you cannot deny the physical brain influences our consciousness , for example any lobotomy /brain injury impacts our consciousness experience ) , as its all physical and in such deterministic ,can we also create such receiver synthetically such as a silicon robot brain in which a consciousness can reside or be received / manifested?
My experience with poltergeist happened to me in my fifties. It was a time when I could become extremely frustrated and angry. When I would become overwhelmed by anger and frustration books would fall, my phone would fly across the room, it would hit me, things would drop off tables. These events always coincide.
The Third Eye, read it around 50 years ago and I am still amazed at the revelations contained therein. I remember reading about the Enfield case, way back when, so glad he is mentioning it.
Read Life after Life by Raymond Moody and Proof of Heaven by Neuro surgeon Eben Alexander. Both those book will REALLY open your eyes regarding consciousness after death.
My favorite, was the Entity case in California. Witnessed by 23 people from UCLA University. Three of them fainted with fright. Also, The Rosenheim poltergeist. Which only occurred when a certain person was in the building. The Enfield case, the Girls knew the name of the man who died in the house, and how he died, also, the exact location he died in. Yet they had never met the family who previously lived there.
OH MY GOD FINALLY!!!For years I didn’t know what this experience was but when I was young and I had a fever. I remember I was laying on the couch sick and my mom was making food for lunch. I remember seeing her move from the kitchen to dinner table super fast.Also the pounding of her footsteps on the ground sounded sped up like someone beating on a drum. It was as if someone hit the fast forward button of reality. I had another similar experience and I was sick also. I told my family and they didn’t really believe it. But I finally know what I experienced after years of not knowing thinking I was insane.
I also experienced something similar a few times, usually when I woke up in the middle of the night. E.g. I heard my roommate snoring but it was sped up very fast. Where in the video does he explain such phenomena?
I woke up in 2017 with a thought formed in my mind, which I quickly wrote down. "Love is a quality of intelligence; intelligence is a quality of consciousness; and consciousness is a quality of all things, by degree." I believe now that we live in a conscious universe, and that science has a long way to go to understand the nature of our world and our experiences. It is never going to be possible to develop a theory of everything until consciousness is brought into the equation. The problem is that we use the word ambiguously, to mean awakeness, or thought, and that definition simply doesn't work if you think of the consciousness of a rock, or a plant. It means something different, and needs to be considered as part of a whole structure, not as a separate idea.
Thanks for sharing, very interesting! Around 10 years ago and just as I woke up in bed one morning, a voice interrupted my thoughts, it just said "The binary code is everything". At that stage in my life I didn't really know what the binary code was, so I had to look it up. I still don't know why I was given that message and by who!
Yes you are quite right about emotion intelligence consciousness, if we consider the consciousness of the universe it is more than the sum of its parts, there is the concepts that the universe is made up of many beings at different levels of consciousness, which I suggest we observe in the vegetable animal and human kingdoms, and that the mineral kingdom is the substance From which the vegetable kingdom grows, the Animal Kingdom is a precursor to the human kingdom and both of these depend upon the vegetable kingdom. Everything in the universe is in motion, as science tells us we cannot arrive at absolutely zero physically only as a concept. And in the sense where there is motion there is energy and in a very primitive sense life even in atoms. I use the word primitive in the sense that atoms, Subatomic particles are prime. That is first and evolution proceeds as a result of consciousness inherent in the very substance of the universe. !
Definitely there's a universal mind that coordinate all the unimaginable complex processes within each bit of the universe Consciousness is the eternal foundation of the universe
🙋I have noticed that a lot of educated different English speaking people use singular and plural interchangeably !🙋 I don't know if this is or isn't important !🙋
woah..." closing down the brain increases more awareness" is wild 🙃. Just like the more we know, the more we don't know kind of things...I believe that totally from personal experiences...
This is the precise reason why meditation is held in such a great esteem within spiritual traditions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. It is not exactly described as “closing down the brain” within these traditions, but rather becoming calmer and more still within. Stillness meditation is the foundation on which other types of meditations can build upon. It is from within stillness we can start to expand our awareness and thus expand our understanding of ourselves and the reality we experience. Later, when we have become very familiar with our own stillness and have an (relatively) easy access to it we can start to experiment with taking bolder leaps into the realm of awareness in the midst of activity and busyness even. But for most practitioners the best starting point is the establishment of a state of realise stillness first. An obstacle to this practice arise if we start to enjoy this state of being and start to cling to it as if it is some form of “higher state of consciousness” that must be maintained at all times. This is regarded as an obstacle because it is based on an element of clinging within the mind. It is always necessary to remind oneself to never cling to anything that occurs in the mind. Not even a calm state of non-thought should be clung to. Likewise, we should never try to suppress what arises either. To fully accept but never cling to whatever arise in the mind is the attitude a meditator should carry with him at all times. In this way we start to work on our own desires and aversions effectively. Slowly we start to recognise that no matter what arises it will not last long before it is replaced by something else. It is here we’re starting to discover the real nature of our mind and whatever we experience. Moment by moment we observe that experiences come and go just like clouds in the sky. They arise out of nothing and dissolve into the same nothingness they came from. Even while they remain our experiences change and becomes something else. Nothing ever remains in the mind. The word “experience” encompass all the different events taking place within our awareness, such as thoughts, feelings and inputs through our five doors of sense consciousnesses.
@@justasimpleguy7211 God created us in his own image and since God is the ultimate "I", we are I's as well. Cogito ergo sum, you weren't able to write what you wrote without the I and deep inside you know it.
@@justasimpleguy7211 You didn't read the bible then: God gave us free will, he voluntarily limits (so to say) his power, so we can have an "I". Yes, we are part of Gods omnipresence and we are supposed to follow his laws, but he gave us autonomy over our thoughts and actions. Eastern religions and philosophers don't understand that somehow, I don't know why. Trees and other plant life is part of his dream, but we are conscious, that's why this world is in such a wierd shape.
Man this guy talks a lot. First person-hood -- why I'm me and you are you -- is explained materialistically by giving an account of the capacities of the brain that create consciousness, and then my particular consciousness is the result of all impingements on my brain - e.g., sensorial, physical knocks, and crucially, introspective experience of the processes of my own brain that have occurred throughout my life. That's all. You ask too much of science (materialism) if you need a science of consciousness to account for you as an individual. He also says that M theory and multiverse are not against science because there is a lot in science that you can't see e.g., quarks. This is quite a big mistake. The predictions of science do not relate to a requirement of see-ability, but rather testability. The problem with multiverse theory interpretation is that it's not testable. That's the issue that many have with it.
amazing discussion. i was thrilled to hear Prof Carr talk about the brain as filter, operating in greater universal consciousness - those were my exact and independent conclusions following experiences with psychedelics, specifically DMT.
Psychedelics were horrible for me. I saw monsters and demons with flames coming our their eyes. Literally hell. Never ever again. It was a horrible trip and I was ill for a week after.
I did have the experience of time slowing down. Back in the 70s I was on my motorbike in traffic waiting to make a right turn into a small street. A drunk driver in a big heavy car hit my motorbike at full speed from behind. I remember being in the air for what felt like a long time, and I remember thinking I have been in the air for a long time and will drop back to the ground and when I hit the ground it is going to hurt and I may be badly injured. I was not too badly injured just a sore back and neck for a week or so.
I was also hit by a truck while driving a car. I experienced that same state of altered time between the time the truck hit me and when my car spun and hit a tree. It felt like time slowed down and I was hyper focused on certain things happening.
What you experienced is a known phenomena.I have experienced it more than once in high stress circumstances like eg., an accident: Look up the term: Tachy Psychy / Tachypsychia.Cheers.😊
Physics cannot go beyond the material Universe, but the mind can. All you need is the courage and wisdom to use it. Start with loving existence rather than looking up its skirt.
It needs to be constantly retold. People only live so long and we can’t let these thoughts die with us. I don’t think he ever claimed this was a new idea.
Loved it! Been playing with these things for over 50 yrs. I read "As a Man Thinketh" at an early age and that helped ally my fears of being alone in my cognitions. We have more senses than we know. In the buddhist framework we count eight consciousnesses. Isn't Laws of physics some kind of oxymoron?? So, like, when and how did these laws go into effect 🙂?? Did we vote on them LOL?? The problem is similar to government. By the time we come up with a solution, the problem is 5 yr down the road. And so when truth is found it has already changed from what you perceive. Naomi Worth said, "A central goal of Buddhism is the transformation of perception, where one goes from seeing through a deluded filter to seeing reality. The Buddhist path is laid out with many prescriptions for how to go about this, with meditation as the key practice"
It's so so frustrating to see western scientists talking the exact things Adwait Vedanta says, without knowing about it. It's not pity but ignorance of deliberation.
If we had more scientists like Mr. Carr, world would be in much better place. Thank for very interesting discussion. Happy and healthy New Year! God bless you ❤❤
Thank you both for confirming my unbelievable experiences, which I could not share with anyone, even my family. I thought I had gone mad. I would run into libraries, special bookstores, n any source I could, to find out if I was mad or not? 40 years ago, there was no talk of these phenomenon. I could get in trouble in many ways. Although, The Consciousness had asked me to write about what I had learned, I haven't done it to this day... Hearing n knowing someone as credible as this established scientist confirming my experiences is encouraging. He knows, as I do, how fulfilling n amazing it is, to develop from a science oriented person, to a spiritual, self aware n creation aware person. The evolved human to higher dimensions. Love n Light be with you. Neli
Like the other guy says consciousness IS reality. Science got complacent rather than investigating it's axioms and dogmas. If it did, it would arrive at the basic conclusion, we have been relying on subjective experience to make every assumption. Instead of aknowledging the subjective, direct experience that informs everything a human does..........it goes on making a whooole world view based on strict materialism....rather than explore the subjective side. The fact that a huge revoltuion in science didnt' happen the minute the observer's effect was discovered..........says a lot about our science.Everything should have been put to question.
That's probably because the "observer effect" is misnamed and the people who originally explored it (Von Neuman and Wigner) concluded they had made a mistake. Von Neuman merely said that some effect could be originating anywhere in the interaction chain and didn't rule out the observer but both he and Wigner showed that an interaction without any conscious mind was sufficient to "measure" and create the effect. Read what Wigner and Von Neuman actually wrote about this rather than relying on non-expert and motivated second hand takes that don't include their own debunking of it. This is like when people cite Frank Jackson's Mary's Room argument and leave out or don't know that Frank Jackson is a physicalist who addressed the argument as solved when he understood color experience as representational of knowledge rather than knowledge itself, collapsing the force of the argument@@jeanjacqueslundi3502
Consciousness is not in the brain. This is a processor. To knock on the door of wisdom, one must first enter through the gate of humility. Quantify that.
Fascinating... and I have experienced on stage how time seems to slow or pause and spread out as space... when the attention of the audience is optimal as witnessed by their silence, as if holding their breath... I have found these moments to be when I felt the most real, the most alert, the most fully alive. It is indeed a well-known "high" of acting.
In the depths of thought, where mysteries reside, Bernard Carr, with intellect as his guide, A mathematician, an astronomer too, In realms of consciousness, he dares to pursue. With strings of theory, weaving through the air, He glimpses dimensions beyond compare, Consciousness, not a product of the brain, But a filter of reality's intricate terrain. In parapsychology's enigmatic embrace, He finds phenomena that defy time and space, Telepathy, precognition, in the mind's vast scope, Echoes of a universe beyond our usual trope. A friend of Hawking, in cosmic dialogue, They pondered the universe, with minds agog, Yet Carr delves deeper, into realms unseen, Where consciousness reigns, in dimensions serene. Through mathematics and astronomy's gaze, He unravels the secrets of mystical maze, In consciousness's dance, with strings intertwined, Bernard Carr unveils the cosmos of the mind.
Ingo Swann, in his book 'Penetration', makes a scientifically compelling case for the reasons why the "Big Four" Science, Government, Military and Media, will (and can) never publicly acknowledge PSI as being a legitimate and worthwhile autonomous discipline....meanwhile research continues apace...
The final theory of physics will need to include quantum physics and Consciousness. You’re spot on. Modern physics is like the new religion, where the status quo control the top tier and they don’t allow other options and mock anyone who has another thought. They make up things like Dark Matter and Dark Energy to make it sound like they know what they’re talking about. We should call both Dark Matter and Dark Energy something else, try Monkey Juice, now that’s more accurate. An example of misdirection redirected. Take the Singularity that is actually a Duality at the centre of our galaxy. The Black Holes at the centre of all spiral galaxies determines the physics of each galaxy, making each slightly different. Oh we’ve loads more to share. 🌟
I believe the answer is the CTMU, it is a theory of reality that relies upon logic and includes both quantum physics and consciousness as integrated parts of reality. Please tell me if you agree with it.
He's wrong. We can alter consciousness with simple chemical agents, and we know that simpler lifeforms also experience consciousness. String theory stretches not required. Really over otherwise brilliant scientists going woowoo on this subject. I'm looking at you, Roger Penrose.
The consciousness of humans is far different than that of animals. That’s because humans have a spirit, animals have instinct. Humans were given a spirit to enable him to have a relationship with God. Animals have no spirit and they have consciousness of God. The immeasurable degree of intelligence of humans over animals is explained by this. Spirit is essence, not physical, and will never be measured with the latter.
I believe time, space, and matter are not fundamental but are emergent from the conscious energy of the Infinite Source . I think extraterrestrials understand this physics and are therfore able to travel at the speed of thought.
@rittikalahkar8311 Thank You. Your comment /suggestion to me was synchronicity at work ! I downladed a Kindle book re Upanishads , and can already see some parallelisms to "The Law of One" by Ra .
@@rayspencer7255 Well good luck then. Sometimes synchronicity speaks to you, its better to pay heed to them. Universe has different ways of connecting.
Very interested to hear this, right of the bat I must ask, what has been censored at 5:14? Can the 1st time he was interested in para really be that sensitive, all these decades later?
I heard that ancient scriptures Upanishads deals with understanding of consciousness.Even Neil Bohr used to greatly admire and inspired by them. Maybe if we research further on them maybe we could more out of them. Such fascinating stimulus for knowledge seeker. I haven't read them but will read them soon.
c. 1:37:00 re. fine tuning - "If you chose all your constants of physics randomly life wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be here asking questions about the universe." If your mind/consciousness isn't a product of your physical brain then why would your brain (or biological life) be required for asking questions?
Happy new year to you and all listening here 🤗🎊🍾🥳🎉. Wow this information is amazing I have been fascinated with time and dimensions and will definitely be looking at more of Bernard Carr's wisdom.
That is correct, because how does a spider know how to make a web, he draws it from outside his memory. We call it instinct, but that instinct comes from somewhere.
Really interesting discussion. It seems pretty simple --there was a singularity, a mind in a higher dimension wanted to observe itself, and willed the separation of matter and dark matter. This created duality and a Big Bang. These act in a harmony that plays a song in a sense and allows consciousness to observe itself. This is the non-duality, duality model discussed in many religions. Not your physics, but it is our experience, isn't it? Fun discussion you presented here. Thanks
Yep, neuroscience will NEVER explain consciousness. It is a non-physical / non-biological entity. When are they gunna get it? Only 5000 years of philosophers and mystics and sages have been saying that, plus millions of modern day self-aware meditators. Like duh.
I haven't watched the video yet but I've had a similar idea to. Time, as a subjective dimension, appears to extend to at least 3 dimensions of time. If coupled with space, it seems as if reality has 6 dimensions of spacetime. I'm not sure how true this is though.

that “slow down” of personal time in critical situations was already experimentally explained .. it’s not that you really see time slown down in that moment .. it’s that your brain stores more memories (like more momentary snapshots, cause you are very aware of what is happening in such moment - in general more tou are aware of world around you, more memories are stored in brain and vice veraa).. then retrospectivelly AFTER this event it looks to you time was slowed down - but that’s just because you have simply more memories from that event … your brain retrospectively gives you feeling of how much time pssed based on how much memories it have stored for that given time frame.. Check documentary “Brain with David Eagleman” this experiment is described there
I've experienced the sensation of critical time event slow motion such as falling down stairs while carrying a blueberry pie with a fork on the plate then slow motion kicks in and presence of mind full focus centres on assessment of multiple purely subjective evaluations. First of all is the awareness of the degree of the event in process the the essential interrelationship of prime elements such as assessing body adjustments to make sure I land on my back with my body prepared to accept the oncoming impact with as little stress or damage to life and limb assessment of distance and body contortion is in conscious mode of evaluation while at the same time full awareness of the plate in hand doesn't spill the contents of blueberry pie and that the fork doesn't precede me potentially hitting the ceramic tiled floor at the base of the stairs where the fork may bounce up and impale me while the plate issue is also being desperately evaluate to potentially avoid critical contact with potential remnants of ceramic plate particles while purposely closing off any other unnecessary distractions, this is total body function sensation to the last and tiniest muscle and organ function awareness. The outcome was a sensational success with Kudos from onlookers and what could and perhaps even should have resulted in humiliation and severe body and property damage turned out to resemble a Cirque du Soleil wonder exhibition. I have encountered chains disengaging at stresspoints while on the upstep of a bicycle run uphill and at the drop of a hat the mindset goes into action so as to avoid degree of damage to self and related objects while still aware of potential road safety concerns. I've tumbled down embankments due to icy and uneven sufaces and landed unscathed, not even grass stains. I've avoided critical auto collisions as a resulte of evaluation of traumatic situation in front of me and how much of response of my human engagement with my vehicle and road conditions were needed to produce a favorable outcome for all that might happen and evaluating the trauma to the other vehicle in the midst of his or her dilemma. All this in slo-mo but quick as a blink of an eye in regular time. Time is so relevant to this third dimension that I'm tempted to challenge the Einstein theory that 'time is the forth dimension' unless Einstein was referring to a totally different sense of Time. Here in third dimension time value moves forward constantly and irreversibly which is why time is an element of this third dimension, soooooo Einstein and company must be referring to another time value or time substance in fourth dimension reference and I'm running out of time and thyme, I'm cooking in kitchen soooooo, Ciao and Agape Solute! Be nice this time is precious.
For a brilliant breakdown of the different types of consciousness see Ramana Maharshi-Be as you are Chapter 12 Experience and Samadhi...Sahaja samadhi-the unified field of awareness or Born Again.When the ego is destroyed along with its subconscious mind-unconscious mind revealing the superconscious mind.
All speculation, opinions and guesses. « If I am right… » says the man. « If ». Well, it means you can be wrong by your own admittance. It also means you miss the evidence to prove your point. No evidence and you could be wrong. Same old story about religion, faith and consciousness.
No matter how sophisticated it may be, an idea is never the thing in itself. A highly complex idea about a bird neither sings nor flies. Therefore, knowledge is and will always be incomplete. It is impossible to measure what consciousness is. It is immeasurable and therefore infinite and timeless. There are no two infinities. Consciousness is one, and the instruments of consciousness reflect it to varying degrees. When all ideas become still, through the understanding that they are limited, there is pure consciousness, which is our true nature. Only consciousness is true happiness, because it is complete.
Psychic phenomena are hard to duplicate for the same reason the light double slit experiment fails to answer the ( wave or particle ) question. Psychic phenomena is a multidimensional, multi worlds, phenomena just like the interference pattern of double slit light. If you count all the photons then the interference pattern disappears. If you nail down all the para psychological variables then the phenomena disappears.
It's an interesting analogy but double slit experiments yield novel testable predictive models of how it behaves as both wave and particle showing that they're not mutually exclusive categories and that experiment design influences the results. Saying psychic phenomenon go away if you try to study them isn't really analogous if it renders them undetectable. Doesn't it seem problematic to say its unfalsifiable? Even if you thought they were probably real based on anecdotal evidence, it would be self-defeating to assume that no experiment could prove or disprove them.
@@ix905 We have a problem as long as we think of our reality as mechanically deterministic. If we accept that many paths in the past may lead to our current reality then we have a mechanism for parapsychology. And it is true that time is a dimension of space measured in distance. Seconds are not special time is in meters just like the rest of space.
Determinism vs indeterminism is underdetermined (we don't know which is the case yet as interpretations of quantum mechanics that assume deterministic hidden variables or multiverse Hilbert spaces or some other possible explanations are all equivalent for the time being without a way to rule one out). I'd say its fair to just be agnostic (undecided) on that and I'm not sure why it would matter either way. If virtual particles decay complexly randomly but at totally predictable influenceable rates in Casimir Effect compression experiments, does that mean the universe isn't deterministic and provide a mechanism for parapsychology? If particular decays are random and happen at predictable half-life rates, does it provide a mechanism for para? How does something being random yet predictable in aggregate provide a mechanism for parapsychology? It seems intuitive that any combination of radioactive decays or virtual particle appearances and annihilations could aggregate to indistinguishable outcomes in our reality, but its not clear to me what you mean. @@jillengland3277
@@ix905 You place me ( and I put myself here as well ) in the unenviable position of defending the supernatural. This goes against my faith. I don’t believe in ghosts, other gods, witches. I don’t stay up late reading Alistair Crowley. I don’t believe in that nonsense. And yet. And yet It Is Real. I don’t understand how. There seems to be to be real evil. And many people who are good. And I am in possession of an impossible improbable living human avatar, and there are millions of similar beings in this city around me. So the improbable supernatural world does exist. The time slit experiment is real. Just because we can not explain some phenomena with science does not actually make that negative result true. Just because we think you know how something came to be does not mean you really understand it. Our material world is built on the work of gods we know not. We really do not know what we are and our science is flawed. There is a supernatural world, and we were created by gods, and there is a world where our consciousness exists after we die.

1 hr 32 min in. He talks about time and car accidents. I CAN say - with complete confidence- that it IS possible to move one's body fast enough to respond AND address the physical issues as best one can. ....for me, I saw 2 pieces of very small glass shards, tumbling across my field of view. They left comet trails. And i moved around a great deal before it was all over.
Because they can't prove it. They said they don't want to see the I formation/telescope. They don't feel comfortable not having an explanation for something. You're a very courageous being, very important for the development of consciousness. The awareness
But a Mind with a Capital M is non physical as is all your mental world. In both cases the Mind and your mental world still requires a physical source to be a facility of, because the Mind cannot form any thing physical nor cannot exist without a physical source. The question is, what is prompting from within the intelligent species physical brain to make the Mind tool to be aware. The mind which is the faculty of consciousness and thought both that are non physical and therefore can never form anything physical. That physical source that formed at its inception at an epoch to form the intelligent species has already transcended from its initial stage at an epoch and evolved to where it is on Earth today ie the human being. Your imprinted knowledge is all knowing and if one allows themselves to be enlightened by their physical source within presence, one shall be enlightened to be all knowing. No need for external parapsychology and consciousness because all information derives from the physical source within. No God had a hand in that process. Remove the God equation to find the real God of things. All the Something in the Universe currently derived from the Nothing which was the Something but just in another form, but, nevertheless that Nothing is Something. And prior to Nothing is absolute Nothing which is still Nothing which is Something. So the Universe still existed in all its forms at one point and we don't even need to know what those other prior forms were but we do know it was physical matter. But consciousness nor mind cannot exist in the Universe because they require a physical source iteration function to be a faculty of.
Professor Carr had a very good experiment for determining whether or not the body loses weight when it goes into a dream. And this is when we get into the world of the late astrophysicist Kozyrev and the use of special torsion balances which can measure whether time is being added or subtracted.
Just include his name and add keywords like "research" to the search query . If that doesn't work out then use the same keywords to search in science journals like Research Gate, PubMed etc.
