Dear Narendra,
Thank you very much for your kind encouragement and your mention of my theory to others in this forum. As is to be expected, most participants are selling their own ideas, and should not be expected to sell others, so it is very gracious of you to behave as you have.
In your last comment to me above, you ask how I came to propose such a theory.
My long time goal has been to understand how consciousness and the physical world coexisted so harmoniously. My dissertation considers the problem of math and physics, and how a robot, programmed but unaware, could derive a theory of physics from measurement numbers. This is complex, but not mysterious. Conscious awareness and free will are mysterious. After many years I decided that the most rewarding way to understand consciousness was as a field, and one day, in 2005, I decided that if it were truly a field, then I should be able to write field equations. When I sat down to do so, it did not take very long to realize that the field exerted a Lorentz-like force. The symmetry, of G and C with E and B-fields was so beautiful that I knew that I must follow that path. My first conclusion was that I must show that the force was not strong enough to affect chemistry, otherwise that alone would prove the non-existence of the force. Chemistry works without requiring any heretofore unseen force. And yet, I believed that a weaker force might still affect bio-chemistry, thereby making evolution much more likely.
As I developed the ideas, working through the equations, I found that many things were explained that were otherwise mysterious. Some of these were recent cosmological findings, and some went back to Fritz Zwicky and his "flat rotation curves" and the more recent orbits of the Pioneer spacecraft. Clearly, if a consciousness field existed, one would expect to see the effects somewhere.
After almost a year of working out details, I was made aware of the fact that Maxwell had proposed the same equations about 1865, but had not followed through for several reasons. This was embarrassing, but I had never been introduced to the GEM equations in electromagnetic theory (Jackson and Panofsky and Phillips) or in General Relativity courses. I also had computed a much stronger field than Maxwell proposed, based on his ignorance of E=mc*c, not to be known for 50 years. And then I became aware that Martin Tajmar had measured a field 30 orders of magnitude greater than expected, and this agreed with my calculations. So gradually, as more and more problems were solved,I came to realize that the C-field is real, and solves many mysteries. Of course, Phys Rev Letters rejected me when they opened their mail, so I decided to simply publish books and not beat my head against the establishment wall. I found the FQXi contest about a week before it closed and decided to enter an essay here.
So, I did not try to attach consciousness to a physical field, I decided to explore the physical effects of a consciousness field, and found a never-ending cornucopia of effects.
Narendra, I also wanted to make you aware of three other essays, submitted by Terry Padden, Jonathan Dickau, and Stefan Weckbach and accompanying comments on their pages and on mine. The comments are very informative and I believe that you would enjoy reading them.
Thanks again for your kindnesses,
Edwin Eugene Klingman
