Essay Abstract

In our search for a fundamental basis to address the insurmountable paradigm shifts occurring in two major disciplines, particle physics and cognitive neuroscience, we propounded a "universal field of quantum-consciousness as covariant with the spacetime, on par with gravitation, pervaded by string-like novel signals, nourons, capable of instantaneous communication. Based on theoretical role of nourons in explaining the mystery of 'instantaneous nonlocal correlation between a pair of entangled photons" in quantum mechanics, and in solving the perennial mystery of how a physical brain engenders meaning in a conscious experience and how meaning is represented, nourons were tested in their capability to transduce particle-like photons into corresponding wave-like photons, causing the interference pattern in double-slit experiment, under both presence and absence of nourons. Preliminary experimental results are encouraging to regard nourons on the universal field of quantum-consciousness as fundamental.

Dear Sirajul Husain,

FQXi.org is clearly seeking to confirm whether Nature is fundamental.

Reliable evidence exists that proves that the surface of the earth was formed millions of years before man and his utterly complex finite informational systems ever appeared on that surface. It logically follows that Nature must have permanently devised the only single physical construct of earth allowable.

All objects, be they solid, liquid, or vaporous have always had a visible surface. This is because the real Universe must consist only of one single unified VISIBLE infinite surface occurring eternally in one single infinite dimension that am always illuminated mostly by finite non-surface light.

Only the truth can set you free.

Dear Fellow Essayists

This will be my final plea for fair treatment.,

FQXI is clearly seeking to find out if there is a fundamental REALITY.

Sirajul,

Your essay provided novel and interesting ideas and was very nicely written. I see it's sitting very low with few scores which is a shame and undeserved I think.

I certainly agreed with some of your suggestions, in particular;

" our explanation of a single photon passing through both slits is, the photons are turned into waves ... and pass through both the slits to cause interference pattern" as the so called 'quantum eraser' anlaysis in the figure in my own essay. And also;

..there is no action involved by the photons "at-a-distance", Though I identify and describe a classical mechanism which can remove the 'weird' statistical findings.

Your introduction of 'Nourons' was original and interesting though the derivation and description not thorough. None the less an original and well written essay. People may disagree with content but that's no grounds to mark down. I think it worth a higher place and score which I have it pencilled in for.

Mine is ratgher different but I do hope you get to read and enjoy it.

Best

    http://vaksdynamicuniversemodel.blogspot.in/p/blog-page_15.html

    I request you to please have a look at my essay also, and give some of your esteemed criticism for your information........

    Dynamic Universe Model says that the energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation passing grazingly near any gravitating mass changes its in frequency and finally will convert into neutrinos (mass). We all know that there is no experiment or quest in this direction. Energy conversion happens from mass to energy with the famous E=mC2, the other side of this conversion was not thought off. This is a new fundamental prediction by Dynamic Universe Model, a foundational quest in the area of Astrophysics and Cosmology.

    In accordance with Dynamic Universe Model frequency shift happens on both the sides of spectrum when any electromagnetic radiation passes grazingly near gravitating mass. With this new verification, we will open a new frontier that will unlock a way for formation of the basis for continual Nucleosynthesis (continuous formation of elements) in our Universe. Amount of frequency shift will depend on relative velocity difference. All the papers of author can be downloaded from "http://vaksdynamicuniversemodel.blogspot.in/ "

    Dear Kamal Rajpal,

    I appreciate for sharing your research, which is very interesting. In particular, you raised an interesting point that creation of single photon emission is rather idealistic.

    In our preliminary study on nourons, using a novel design, we find that a beam of photons is not crucial. In our future studies with more refined design of experimental set up, we will take a note of it. Thanks!

    All the best,

    Husain

    Dear Dr. Satyavarapu Naga Parameswara Gupta,

    Thank you for reviewing my essay on Universal Field of Quantum-Consciousness.

    I appreciate for sharing your essay, which in my view is profoundly intricate, and as such demands some deeper study on my part.

    Your novely of ideas demands attention and time. I am setting out on an academic journey to India, especially, NIMHANS, for presenting my research and its application in psychotherapy, based on preliminary promising results on nourons's capability to alter particle-wave state of photons.

    I may have more time to concentrate on your essay in India.

    all the best,

    Sirajul Husain

    Dear Peter Jackson,

    I admire and enjoyed your essay immensely. Only a scientist with deeper intellectual insights like you could appreciate a modest approach to resolve the two age-old mysteries in science, by a single stroke, that is, nouron.

    Although some preliminary (using home-spun design) tests to study the capability of nourons to alter the particle-to-wave state of photons are promising, I did not include them in my essay, because it is too early. Nevertheless, we are planning to extend the experiment using more sophisticated design.

    I totally agree with you that fundamental is a relative concept. For example, when I claim that if nouron are experimentally proved, they and the nousons (their transduced state in the neurobiology of brain) may be deemed 'fundamental', in their role to resolve the impasse in quantum-mechanics and cognitive neuroscience.

    Besides, you may notice that quantization of consciousness, as quantum-consciousness, seems to lead to quantization of both gravity and spacetime, in particular, in the event of collapse, in the nonlocal flight of entangled photons in opposite directions.

    You may like to read my paper on Consciousness, published before nourons were tested experimentally.

    Would you like to share your email for attaching the above article.

    With kind regards

    Since field theory is only an approximated (and inconsistent) model of describing interactions, this proposed "cosmologically evolved universal field of quantum-consciousness" is not fundamental. It can be also argued it is incorrect, because it is build on missunderstandings of several physical and biological processes.

    "Particle-wave duality. Our explanation is that photons leave their source, such as sun or a laser pen, as particles but they are turned into waves

    by the string-like nourons in their propagation in space at the speed of light". This duality arises from a too common missunderstanding of quantum mechanics. Any decent advanced textbook on QM doesn't mention the particle-wave duality, because there is no one. Particles are always particles and behave as particles. There is a reason why have a discipline of science named "particle physics".

    The supossed weirdness surrounding double-slit experiments is based in using early (incomplete) formulations of quantum mechanics and methaphysics (religion?) interpretations pioonered by people as Heisenberg and Born. Today we can formulate models that explain the double slit experiment. We can for instance draw the trajectories followed by particles, and we can detect particles crossing one of the slides.

    double-slit trajectories

    The idea that a particle pass through both the slits at same time is incorrect.

    "At the juncture of the pair of photons being separated the information on each photon is transduced into nourons and superposed on wave-like photons. which are capable of in stantaneous communication. The system of entangled photons in their flight away from each other, and the instantaneous nonlocal correlation between them can be explained as follows. While the wavefunction of each photon travels outward at the speed of light, the superposed nouron-transduced information on each photon is potentially ready to correlate with each other instantaneously"

    As stated there is no wave-like photons, and instantaneous communication doesn't exist, because it violates relativity requirements. Wavefunctions aren't waves and they cannot travel in ordinary space, and much less they are limited to the speed of light (again because they aren't waves). Moreover, the concept of wavefunction of a particle is only valid when one ignores correlations and mixed states. The wavefunction of a molecule doesn't 'live' in ordinary 3D space, but in an abstract 3N space, where N>>2 usually.

    The 'teleportation' experiment didn't show any instantaneous communication.

    "Cognitive neuroscience comprises an intractable overlap of metaphysical thought processes and the neurophysiological processes". Neuroscience is a branch of science; so it deals with real processes, not with metaphysical stuff.

    I see consciousness as an emergent property of certain particular organizations of matter (brains); so I don't expect consciousness to be reduced to "neural terms". But that one cannot apply older reductionist methodology doesn't imply that consciousness is outside the physical world and require irrelevant methaphysical elements. The position of the philosopher David Chalmers is not new. The history of science is full of skeletons of 'thinkers' that believed that some particular phenomena or object was outside the scope of science. This modern pretension to differentiate mind from matter is a reintroduction of the older Vitalists' pretension that living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things, and not very different than the Élan vital imagined by philosopher Henri Bergson.

    "But this fixes the objects of the described theory only relative to those of the home theory; and these can, at will, be questioned in turn". This conclusion misses the possibility of redundancy among different objects used as baseline in the "home theory" or concisely: f(A)=f(B).

    "Fundamentally, the "sense" and "sound" must be denied physical objectivity on the epistemological rigor as 'time' and 'space' are denied physical objectivity in Einstein's theory of relativity". This is an incorrect interpretation of relativity introduced by some people that takes the geometric 'covariant' viewpoint too far. Time and space continue having physical objectivity in relativistic regimes. A quantity don't taking an universal value doesn't imply it is subjective. Kinetic energy in Newtonian physics was always a quantity whose value varies with the reference frame choosen, still no physicist, Newtonian or not denies that kinetic energy is an objective physical quantity.

    Equations as equation (1) are simply formal symbols without any connection to real phenomena. Stating that H_{munu} is a second-order symmetrical tensor that denotes "the consciousness arising from the totality of phenomenal concepts on the sensesound" equates to not saying anything really.

    Equation 2 aren't "the laws governing physical reality". They are only metric equations describing some aspects of gravitation. and cannot describe any other aspect of reality. Those equations don't govern the motion of a charged particle on a Coulomb 'field' for instance. Also g_{munu} is not "the field of gravitation". At best we would split it into a flat background and a perturbation g_{munu} = eta_{munu} + h_{munu} and then interpret the perturbation as a spin-2 gravitational field under certain restrictions.

    Dear Sirajul

    If you are looking for another essay to read and rate in the final days of the contest, will you consider mine please? I read all essays from those who comment on my page, and if I cant rate an essay highly, then I don't rate them at all. Infact I haven't issued a rating lower that ten. So you have nothing to lose by having me read your essay, and everything to gain.

    Beyond my essay's introduction, I place a microscope on the subjects of universal complexity and natural forces. I do so within context that clock operation is driven by Quantum Mechanical forces (atomic and photonic), while clocks also serve measure of General Relativity's effects (spacetime, time dilation). In this respect clocks can be said to possess a split personality, giving them the distinction that they are simultaneously a study in QM, while GR is a study of clocks. The situation stands whereby we have two fundamental theories of the world, but just one world. And we have a singular device which serves study of both those fundamental theories. Two fundamental theories, but one device? Please join me and my essay in questioning this circumstance?

    My essay goes on to identify natural forces in their universal roles, how they motivate the building of and maintaining complex universal structures and processes. When we look at how star fusion processes sit within a "narrow range of sensitivity" that stars are neither led to explode nor collapse under gravity. We think how lucky we are that the universe is just so. We can also count our lucky stars that the fusion process that marks the birth of a star, also leads to an eruption of photons from its surface. And again, how lucky we are! for if they didn't then gas accumulation wouldn't be halted and the star would again be led to collapse.

    Could a natural organisation principle have been responsible for fine tuning universal systems? Faced with how lucky we appear to have been, shouldn't we consider this possibility?

    For our luck surely didnt run out there, for these photons stream down on earth, liquifying oceans which drive geochemical processes that we "life" are reliant upon. The Earth is made up of elements that possess the chemical potentials that life is entirely dependent upon. Those chemical potentials are not expressed in the absence of water solvency. So again, how amazingly fortunate we are that these chemical potentials exist in the first instance, and additionally within an environment of abundant water solvency such as Earth, able to express these potentials.

    My essay is attempt of something audacious. It questions the fundamental nature of the interaction between space and matter Guv = Tuv, and hypothesizes the equality between space curvature and atomic forces is due to common process. Space gives up a potential in exchange for atomic forces in a conversion process, which drives atomic activity. And furthermore, that Baryons only exist because this energy potential of space exists and is available for exploitation. Baryon characteristics and behaviours, complexity of structure and process might then be explained in terms of being evolved and optimised for this purpose and existence. Removing need for so many layers of extraordinary luck to eventuate our own existence. It attempts an interpretation of the above mentioned stellar processes within these terms, but also extends much further. It shines a light on molecular structure that binds matter together, as potentially being an evolved agency that enhances rigidity and therefor persistence of universal system. We then turn a questioning mind towards Earths unlikely geochemical processes, (for which we living things owe so much) and look at its central theme and propensity for molecular rock forming processes. The existence of chemical potentials and their diverse range of molecular bond formation activities? The abundance of water solvent on Earth, for which many geochemical rock forming processes could not be expressed without? The question of a watery Earth? is then implicated as being part of an evolved system that arose for purpose and reason, alongside the same reason and purpose that molecular bonds and chemistry processes arose.

    By identifying atomic forces as having their origin in space, we have identified how they perpetually act, and deliver work products. Forces drive clocks and clock activity is shown by GR to dilate. My essay details the principle of force dilation and applies it to a universal mystery. My essay raises the possibility, that nature in possession of a natural energy potential, will spontaneously generate a circumstance of Darwinian emergence. It did so on Earth, and perhaps it did so within a wider scope. We learnt how biology generates intricate structure and complexity, and now we learn how it might explain for intricate structure and complexity within universal physical systems.

    To steal a phrase from my essay "A world product of evolved optimization".

    Best of luck for the conclusion of the contest
