Alexander Franklin Mayer, the Jay Pritzker Fellow in Theoretical Physics, has come up with a theory that threatens to overturn the conventional wisdom of modern physics. One might suggest that repeated self-congratulations, denigration of others, and gratuitous use of quotations are ultimately irrelevant, but he knows how to weave a good scientific tale.
Mayer has developed [...]

What happened before the Big Bang? What is consciousness? How can we explain quantum weirdness?
These are all big questions, but in Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe, well-known scientists Robert Lanza (biologist) and Bob Berman (astronomer) argue that the universe is created within our minds. [...]

The model is the result of a deductive analysis of what necessarily follows given one hypothetical premise: the notion of gravitational repulsion. From that one premise the repercussions that follow through formal deduction both predict and give reason to a Universe as it is observed today. Even some previously vexing “anomalous” phenomena (e.g., the supermassive [...]

An Intertwined Universe?

A mathematical treatment of two constants of the Universe leads to an interesting conclusion.  

Maybe string theorists are not so far off base as one might think in suggestions of an intertwined Universe.  The following bit of dealing mathematically  with two constants of nature suggests something of the same thing.

Combination of Planck’s Constant [...]
