Essentia Foundation
Presentation by cosmologist Prof. Bernard Carr during Essentia Foundation’s 2020 online work conference.
Prof. Carr is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University of London. His professional area of research is cosmology and astrophysics and includes such topics as the early universe, dark matter, black holes and the anthropic principle. For his PhD he studied the first second of the Universe, working under the supervision of Stephen Hawking at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge and the California Institute of Technology. He then held Fellowships at Trinity College and the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge before moving to Queen Mary College. He is the author of nearly three hundred scientific papers and the books ‘Universe or Multiverse?’ and ‘Quantum Black Holes.’ He is especially interested in the role of consciousness in physics, regarding this as a fundamental rather than incidental feature of the Universe. Prof. Carr is a member of Essentia Foundation’s Academic Advisory Board.

I'm so glad to be alive to see initiaves like Essentia Foundation. This donation of knowledge and meaning can surely alleviate the suffering of many people.
Snake Symbolism comes up quite often in Hinduism they have the idea of Linga Sarira (sometimes spelt Sharira) according to some researchers this body could be represented as a snake over time, the idea of movement along with time and space being maya an illusion.
"The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of
human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with
facts established by experiment."
Bernard d'Espagnat
“Most physicists are very naive; most still believe in real waves or real particles.”
Anton Zeilinger
Prof Carr poses the main question: Consciousness with a big C either does or does not exist. Interesting to observe that none of the panel members commented on that, even though it is the key issue, since everything else derives from that…
Very refreshing to hear a physicist take seriously the huge amount of evidence of paranormal experiences ad. seek a model that can incorporate them.
How can Carr's concept be reduced and made more intuitive to grasp? If instead of 5 we postulate 3+1 dimensions, then I can see myself standing in the same spot for an hour, and the me at the beginning is at the same time the same and different than the me at the end, all other properties being equal (such as my location)… So in 5d we have spacetemporal freedom, plus an extra dimension where the same conscious entity effectively splits. Does this make sense?
