We have been lied to about what real Pythagorean harmonics alchemy is. The lie started with Philolaus who wrote a book, even though he was not a real practitioner of the Pythagorean training, requiring five years of silence meditation as... more
Now we know from history that the training has been done by rote, the explanations mired in alchemical secrecy, and then if someone does achieve the rare status of qigong master it's only because they've been able to store up their energy... more
Individual consciousness is considered as an expression of an underlying, non-local, quantum field, that exhibits holographic properties. This paper pays special attention to the interfacing of this field of universal consciousness and... more
A superluminal quantum-vortex model of the electron and the positron is produced from a superluminal double-helix model of the photon during electron-positron pair production. The two oppositely-charged (with Q = ±e sqrt (2/α) = 16.6e)... more
For a long time, one of my dreams was to describe the nature of uncertainty axiomatically, and it looks like I've finally done it in my co∼eventum mechanics! Now it remains for me to explain to everyone the co∼eventum mechanics in the... more

This paper presents a historical perspective on the development and application of quantum physics methodology beyond physics, especially in biology and in the area of consciousness studies. Quantum physics provides a conceptual framework... more
This paper addresses the question whether superconductive phenomena in superconductive materials and in life systems have common physical grounds. An extensive literature survey was performed with regard to intrinsic energy gap... more
How does the brain - a lump of 'pinkish gray meat' - produce the richness of conscious experience, or any subjective experience at all? Scientists and philosophers have historically likened the brain to contemporary information... more
In this monograph, I develop 1) a new interpretation of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, 2) an interpretation of Kant's philosophy of science in his Critique of the Power of Judgment that is consistent with 1) and 3) a new Kantian... more
Discovery of quantum vibrations in 'microtubules' inside brain neurons supports controversial theory of consciousness. The human body is a constant flux of thousands of chemical/biological interactions and processes connecting molecules,... more
Origin of life on earth transpired once and from then on, it emerges as an endless eternal process. Matter and energy are constants of the cosmos and the hypothesis is that the origin of life is a moment when these constants intertwined... more
The biological field concept has evolved from the times of Gurwitsch following several routes and modulations as a result of the conceptual and technological scientific advances in the course of history until the modern era. We will... more
CORRECTED 2ND DRAFT The no-signaling arguments for orthodox quantum theory assume a violation of the general action-reaction principle that Einstein used to get from special relativity to general relativity. Special relativity had action... more
The logic of uncertainty is not the logic of experience and as well as it is not the logic of chance. It is the logic of experience and chance. Experience and chance are two inseparable poles. These are two dual reflections of one... more
It's wonderful that Henry is still creative and active at the age of 90. I first communicated with Henry in 1963 when ...
Paper for Henry P. Stapp's 90 Birthday
The first hurdle to understanding organisms in terms of physics is that they are highly differentiated, heterogeneous systems that transform energy at the level of individual molecules, whereas conventional physical theories apply to... more
The principle that mutations occur randomly with respect to the direction of evolutionary change has been challenged by the phenomenon of adaptive mutations. There is currently no entirely satisfactory theory to account for how a cell can... more
The debates about the trivial and non-trivial effects in biological sys- tems have drawn much attention during the last decade or so. What might these non-trivial sorts of quantum effects be? There is no con- sensus so far among the... more
New research from Emory University School of Medicine, in Atlanta, has shown that it is possible for some information to be inherited biologically through chemical changes that occur in DNA. During the tests they learned that that mice... more

The Jungian ideal of the whole person is one whose cell and psyche, body and mind, inner and outer, are fully integrated, and hence completely in tune with nature. Jung's ideas on psychical development show many parallels to those... more

La fisica quantistica si occupa della descrizione del comportamento della materia, con particolare riguardo alle scale subatomiche, e poiché la materia è pressoché ovunque nell'Universo - ma soprattutto negli esseri viventi - c'era da... more
Only Alain Connes, the Fields Medal (harder to get than Nobel Prize) math professor, has recovered the secret noncommutative phase logic of music theory. Because he is the only source doing this, below I provide a compilation of quotes... more
Very briefly on the new axiomatics of co∼events, it is intended for the rigorous mathematical description of an entanglement between observer and observation. Here we try to consider the new axiomatics in the normal human non-mathematical... more
This essay may be read as an application of one of the most central ideas in Whitehead's work: that the main task of metaphysical schemes of thought is to criticize scientific abstractions or, more specifically, to criticize the confusion... more
Cos’hanno in comune cristalli, esseri viventi, pianeti e atomi? Due secoli di progressi nelle scienze evolutive ci mostrano un filo rosso che unisce micro e macrocosmo, un nuovo paradigma che sta cambiando il volto dell’intera civiltà... more
This paper discusses the possibility of quantum coherent oscillations playing a role in neuronal signaling. Consciousness correlates strongly with coherent neural oscillations, however the mechanisms by which neurons synchronize are not... more
Dr. Roger Nelson is the Director of the Global Consciousness Project, which grew out of the research that he, together with Robert Jahn and Brenda Dunne, coordinated at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) lab for over two... more
Most biology students will be able to tell you that neural signals are sent via mechanisms such as synaptic transmission, gap junctions, and diffusion processes, but a new study suggests there's another way that our brains transmit... more
Microorganisms demonstrate conscious-like intelligent behaviour, and this form of consciousness may have emerged from a quantum mediated mechanism as observed in cytoskeletal structures like the microtubules present in nerve cells which... more
Das Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, die Eignung der Whiteheadschen Prozeßphilosophie für eine zeitgemäße teleologische Auffassung der organismischen Ontogenese zu demonstrieren. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine Möglichkeit der Verbindung der... more

Could scientists use the Second Law of Thermodynamics on your chewing muscles to work out when you are going to die? According to research published in the International Journal of Exergy, the level of entropy, or thermodynamic disorder,... more
The idea that quantum-mechanical phenomena can play nontrivial roles in biology has fascinated researchers for a century. Here we review some examples of such effects, including light-harvesting in photosynthesis, vision, electron-and... more
Delineating the framework for a fundamental model of long-range coherence in biological systems is said to rely on principles beyond parameters addressed by current physical science. Just as phenomena of quantum mechanics lay beyond tools... more
Recently emerging technologies in farming invite to broaden the dominant worldview in science. This expanded view on the relation of man-nature has implications for understanding the influence of nature on human health. The emerging... more
The new limits on the dark matter interaction strength allow for the possibility that an oscillating, low-mass dark matter field coupled to standard model particles causes variations in the fundamental constants. As the scientists... more
