The Grand Biocentric Design / How Life Creates Reality - by Robert Lanza and Matej Pavšič, with Bob Berman
What if life isn’t just a part of the universe . . . what if it determines the very structure of the universe itself. The theory that blew your mind in Biocentrism and Beyond Biocentrism is back, with brand-new research revealing the startling truth about our existence.
"The universe is simply the spatial/temporal logic of the animal observer" - Robert Lanza

"The Mandela effect is an unusual phenomenon where a large group of people remember something differently than how it occurred. Conspiracy theorists believe this is proof of an alternate universe, while many doctors use it as an illustration of how imperfect memory can be

What some dismiss as misremembering could be a hint of alternate realities

Against Method - Outline of an Anarchistic Theory of Knowledge - by Paul Feyerabend
"Neither science nor rationality are universal measures of excellence. They are particular traditions, unaware of their historical grounding."
"My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is, rather, to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits. - Paul Feyerabend, p.24, Against Method

Physicists could do the 'impossible': Create and destroy magnetic fields from afar
A new study circumvents a 178-year-old theory. Scientists have figured out a way to create and cancel magnetic fields from afar. The method involves running electric current through a special arrangement of wires to create a magnetic field that looks as if it came from another source. "We create the illusion of having this source at a distance," Mach-Batlle said. The researchers published their findings Oct. 23 in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Werner Arber shared the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of restriction endonucleases "The most primitive cells may require at least several hundred different specific biological macromolecules. How such already quite complex structures may have come together, remains a mystery to me. The possibility of the existence of a Creator, of God, represents to me a satisfactory solution to this problem." ... "I know that the concept of God helped me to master many questions in life; it guides me in critical situations, and I see it confirmed in many deep insights into the beauty of the functioning of the world." - Werner Arber

Inhale and Exhale my dear friend - Why so serious and tense? Celebrate and laugh - for life is truly a wonderfully mysterious and equally comedic situation! Beyond words and other forms of symbolic reasoning and semiotic shadow-boxing, lies a vast ocean of direct experience. The fiction created by the spell of words people weave around them, can lead to great distortions of meaning. While being "right" can be fun - being "effective" - "kind, receptive and present" is essential. Hence, "Chill out. Do less. Enjoy more" remains a timeless mantra - and true sophistication is signified by its tendency toward simplicity, love and peace.

First ever observation of 'time crystals' interacting
The discovery, published in Nature Materials, may lead to applications in quantum information processing because time crystals automatically remain intact—coherent—in varying conditions. Protecting coherence is the main difficulty hindering the development of powerful quantum computers.
Time Crystals May Be the Next Major Leap in Quantum Network Research
Time crystals sound like something out of science fiction, but they may be the next major leap in quantum network research. A team based in Japan has proposed a method to use time crystals to simulate massive networks with very little computing power.
Melting Time Crystals Could Help Us Model Complex Networks Like The Human Brain
A team of researchers from institutions across Japan has shown the quantum underpinnings of particles arranged as a time crystal could in theory be used to represent some fairly complex networks, from the human brain to the internet, as it breaks down.
Time crystals interact for the first time! But what are they?!

The week in review, focus on #Science, #Technology & #Biotech
Self-replicating molecules show signs of metabolism for the first time
In a chance discovery, researchers have for the first time observed the emergence of something akin to metabolism in molecules that also self-replicate. The replicator molecules catalyse a reaction that produces compounds that help to make the replicator’s own building blocks. It might be one of the most lifelike chemical systems ever created, combining two of life’s three essential features – replication, metabolism and compartmentalisation.
Scientists Create a Self-Replicating Reproductive Genome in the Lab
For the first time ever, a genome can reproduce itself like a natural one.
Interesting in this context, the following remark by Prof. Dr. Günter von Kiedrowski
"Why replication at all? In the natural context, replication has the same meaning as integration in electronics. I mean, if you are able to do integrate electronic circuitry, you can establish Moore's Law and in chemistry this kind of replication was not addresses so far. But if it is possible to replicate objects, then it is possible to make things cheaper, to pay for complexity"
Do Origin-of-Life Researchers Now Accept Intelligent Design?
As our understanding of cellular biology increases, researchers continuously find that the only framework capable of understanding life’s origin is design-based, and they increasingly have to smuggle design into their research hidden in the language of natural selection, evolution, and self-organization. With time, larger numbers of careful readers will see the true source of the creative power behind life.
Biotech future of promise and peril looms larger and closer
Emerging technology poses new and novel questions. Unfortunately, the time to answer them is growing short.
Cyborg cockroaches could soon be unleashed in homes to complete tasks. Scientists programmed them to transport objects, along with other skills. The team calls them 'Calmbots,' which can reach places other robots cannot
The First Quantum Computer You Own Could Be Powered by a Time Crystal

The Pauli effect or Pauli's Device Corollary is the supposed tendency of technical equipment to encounter critical failure in the presence of certain people. The term was coined after mysterious anecdotal stories involving Austrian theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli, describing numerous instances in which demonstrations involving equipment suffered technical problems only when he was present.
