“A century from
now, it will be well known that: the vacuum of space which fills the universe
is itself the real substratum of the universe; vacuum in a circulating state
becomes matter; the electron is the fundamental particle of matter and is a
vortex of vacuum with a vacuum-less void at the centre and it is dynamically
stable; the speed of light relative to vacuum is the maximum speed that nature
has provided and is an inherent property of the vacuum; vacuum is a subtle
fluid unknown in material media; vacuum is mass-less, continuous, non-viscous,
and incompressible and is responsible for all the properties of matter; and
that vacuum has always existed and will exist forever….Then scientists,
engineers and philosophers will bend their heads in shame knowing that modern
science ignored the vacuum in our chase to discover reality for more than a
century.”
This non-physical
“field” may also be dark energy, we do not really know or understand it quite
well, but we know it exists. A declassified Defence Intelligence Agency document touches on this,
“We do not understand why it exists or how it is
created; we simply know it provides an ever-present force on spacetime, causing
the universe to expand. Indeed, recent high-precision experimental observations
indicate dark energy may be a cosmological vacuum energy.”
So, if our material
world is birthed from this nonmaterial “stuff”, does consciousness play a
factor? It is interesting to contemplate, especially given the fact that
consciousness is not a physical thing, nor is it the result of any known
physical process or biology. You cannot pinpoint or find the source of
consciousness within the brain. Even at the quantum level, factors associated
with consciousness have been known to change the behaviour of matter, like
photons, suggesting that matter itself may be a conscious perceiving thing.
Does this mean that
all “physical” things possess some type of consciousness? Photons do not have a
brain, do they? What about plants? There is a growing amount of evidence
suggesting that plants act and behave in ways suggesting that they are a thinking
thing, capable of feelings, emotions, perceptions, and thoughts.
If consciousness can
have such an influence over matter, and is a nonphysical property that exists
within all physical things, could it somehow be responsible for the creation of
reality? This has been a common theme discussed within the realms of quantum
physics for quite some time. In fact, the discussion of “ether”, this nonphysical,
indescribable “stuff” has been the subject of contemplation for thousands of
years. Plato wrote about the ether in his work Phaedo and explained how life
exists within it. He believed what air is to us, the ether is to them. Is the
ether alive? Is the universe itself, which could be primarily made up of this
non-physical stuff, a conscious living entity?
You cannot explain
consciousness in terms of the existing fundamentals like space, time, mass, and
charge. As a result, the logical thing to do is postulate whether consciousness
itself is something fundamental to the existence of reality, to view
consciousness itself as one of these fundamentals.
