Area of Science:

  • Theoretical Physics
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Relativity Theory
  • Philosophy of Mind

Background:

  • The NL world model previously proposed requires a physical embodiment.
  • Incompatibilities exist between subjective consciousness and objective quantum mechanics/relativity.
  • Fundamental questions about matter, time, and volition remain unresolved in physics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To embody the NL world model using relativistic quantum mechanics.
  • To consistently integrate consciousness and the concept of flowing time into physics.
  • To resolve the quantum measurement problem and apparent mind-matter conflicts.

Main Methods:

  • Application of relativistic quantum mechanics to the NL world model.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of quantum state reduction and the principle of relativity.
  • Conceptual framework development to address consciousness and time.

    • Main Results:

    • Consistent physical location for consciousness and flowing time.
    • Resolution of quantum state reduction significance.
    • Framework provided for apparent incompatibilities between consciousness and matter.
    • Quantum measurement problem resolved.

    Conclusions:

    • The NL world model, when embodied by relativistic quantum mechanics, offers a unified physical framework.
    • Consciousness, flowing time, and quantum indeterminism are potentially reconcilable with physics.
    • The model addresses fundamental questions regarding the nature of matter and subjective experience.
