Mind and Multiverse Fringe Physics, Session 1 and 2 of 6 With Jonathan Allday and Bernard Carr. Saturday and Sunday March 7-8, 202610am PDT / 1pm EDT / 5pm GMT / […]

The title Fringe Physics is intended in a double sense. It reflects both the unconventional status of the consciousness-collapse hypothesis and the fact that many of the relevant experiments involve interference fringes in quantum-optical systems. In this talk, I review known experimental efforts that have explicitly or implicitly tested observer-dependent collapse, including optical double-slit studies. Although the range of experiments differ widely in methods and interpretations, they collectively form a small but coherent body of empirical work that has not been widely known outside specialized communities. 

The Emergent Physical Universe: The Psychology of Subatomic Particles Fringe Physics, Session 4 of 6 With Jeff Dunne Sunday, March 15, 202610am PDT / 1pm EDT / 5pm GMT / 6pm […]

A Hitchhiker’s Guide is written from observations, experiences and conversations and intended as helpful advice for fellow travellers. This journey begins with experiences that make no conventional sense and evolves into a quest that explores both modern physics, particularly the work of David Bohm, and the ancient metaphysics of the Dao de Jing, seeking to bridge the divide between two tribes that both use the word energy with completely different meaning.

Stored in the cathedral of Turin is a strip of linen cloth. On one side of the material is the faint image of a crucified male. Contextually, it appears to be a rendering of Christ after being taken down from the cross. Carbon dating of a sample taken from the cloth places it as medieval in origin. Its documented provenance also fades away in that era. Yet, it’s remarkably difficult to explain how an image of that nature was formed. There is also good scientific reasons to be doubtful of the carbon date.

International Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL) and The Pari Center present: Experiencing Consciousness: Storytelling and Consciousness with Robin Rice Sunday April 12, 202610:00AM PDT | 1:00PM EDT | 6:00PM BST | […]

This creative workshop will guide participants through a series of Clean Language questions to facilitate an imaginative process that will allow each person to create (by drawing, annotating and speaking in response to the questions) a personal metaphor, grounded in their own physical, cultural and creative experience.

The starting point will be to imagine a vessel, as an invitation to connect to individual and shared meaning and experience of what it means to be in participatory and reciprocal relationship with other humans and the more-than-human world.

Exploring Einstein’s theory of gravity has lead physicists to imagine some weird consequences. These days black holes have become part of mainstream physics, but the theory also contains the possibility of wormholes and warp drives. Science fiction has not been slow to run with these ideas, but they are also being talked about in the context of UAPs. Kirill is professional physicist working on these ideas and in this talk will help us separate the Sci_Fi from the serious physics.

In this series of conversations and workshops with Prof Carr, we will explore the bounds of current physics from M-theory in the microscopic domain to the multiverse on the macroscopic domain, probe the nature of space and time, push into the esoteric worlds of cosmology and black holes, and ask whether some  final theory which amalgamates relativity and quantum mechanics can accommodate consciousness and associated anomalous phenomena.  We speculate that physics will need to take a broader view of reality if it is ever going to complete its mission.
