Neuroscientists have painstakingly built up an understanding of the structure of the brain. Could this help physicists understand the levels of self-organization they observe in other systems? These same physicists, meanwhile, are trying to explain how particles organize themselves into the objects around us. Could their discoveries help explain how neurons produce our conscious experience? Exploring these questions and more, George Musser tackles the extraordinary interconnections between quantum mechanics, cosmology, human consciousness, and artificial intelligence.

NEW COVER! BETTER GRAPHICS! Along with clarifying some traditional concepts, many new and original ideas are explored in this book such as using fractal theory and biology to explain life after death; the relationship between the golden rule and phi, the golden ratio; qualtum organics, a newly coined word differentiating a reality based on quality (values) rather than on quantity (things). These ideas are so outside of most people's conceptual framework, their "box", that it may require many readings to fully understand these revolutionary ideas. But you will enjoy reading this book over ...
