Bernard Carr, cosmologist and friend of Hawking, on consciousness and parapsychology

Our brains do not produce consciousness, they 'filter' it and consciousness is related to the higher dimensions in string theory. In this thought provoking conversation, distinguished Professor of mathematics and astronomy Bernard Carr explains his theory of consciousness and psi-phenomena.

    Why not put Bernard Carr's name in the title? He's a brilliant scientist in his own right, not just Hawking's friend. And I truly think his view will turn out to be closer to the truth than perhaps even Hawking's. Comment update: Thank you for all the upvotes. I'm very glad Dr. Carr's name has now been added to the title of this video. Dr. Carr may not be as well-known as Stephen Hawking, but he's one of the pioneers who have expanded our understanding of the universe and brought us to the edge of reality. And he's helping to sweep rigid materialism to where it belongs - the dustbin of history. Mad respect for Dr. Carr for his courage, his open-minded approach and for all his contributions to a deeper understanding of reality.

    There is a lot more to life than meets the eye ! A few weeks ago my wife and lost our old cat. Her name was MEEP because when she was a stray kitten and would have perished, she mewed so much that we went out and rescued her and from then on , whenever you would come into the room or look at her or pet her she would 20“ meep” . She was so old and in an immovable painful state and had been staying a mile away where we had moved away from with our son . It was a Saturday and I came home from my Luthier job and that evening was doing the LA Times crossword puzzle of the day and the clue for the top right corner was Beakers call? Answer ; MEEP ! I showed my wife who acted very emotional about it . The next day she told me that she and our son had taken Meep to the vet earlier that Saturday and Meep had been “ put to sleep”! Coincidence? I have been doing these crossword puzzles for decades and never run across the word MEEP in the answer for a clue !!!

    Omg I had a black cat I found as a kitten who was screeching like some sort of dinosaur. Unfortunately she died when she was quite small on the road ..but she would always come when we called her and make a little noise. The best cat I ever met ive never felt such greif of losing anyone before. I was devastated because it was my fault I told my son to just put her out as my son had all his art portfolio out and the cat was trying to play dangerously threatening all his artwork. And to put him in a room would have had to get the younger son to clean the litter tray and I had to help my older sone with arranging his portfolio so for convenience I just said put her out. And I didn't say put her out the bakc which I normally do so my younger son put her out on the road side of the house. I have never felt so gutted when I went out and I called her name and there she was being attacked by a big Tom cat on the road. Karukaru was her name as that was the noise she made when she came tropping along to us. Sigh.

    I wonder what Mr Carr would say about a meditation experience I had years ago...I was writing a letter to my mum sitting at the table. I had my friends cat "Fat cat" (who was well overweight), sitting on my lap. Whilst writing, I had an overwhelming feeling that I should meditate, so I did, still holding the pen. Then I started getting pins and needles where I was holding the pen, and I kid you not, my fingers seemed to go through the pen, and I can only describe it as, splitting into cazillion billion atoms and everything was the same tiniest form...table, chair, house and at the same time it was as expansive as the universe..Fat cat must have felt something because he flew off my lap and brought me back to this reality..it was the most incredible experience of my life. In that split second, I felt an incredible unconditional love and that everything was going to be ok. looking back, I think it was to do with the cat and he was probably purring so could have changed my frequency...and just to add, there were no drugs involved!! So get your cat sitting on your lap, hold a pen and meditate and maybe you too can experience the same 😉😍😺🪑🖊️🌌💥

I would run into libraries, special bookstores, n any source I could, to find out if I was mad or not? 40 years ago, there was no talk of these phenomenon. I could get in trouble in many ways. Although, The Consciousness had asked me to write about what I had learned, I haven't done it to this day... Hearing n knowing someone as credible as this established scientist confirming my experiences is encouraging. He knows, as I do, how fulfilling n amazing it is, to develop from a science oriented person, to a spiritual, self aware n creation aware person. The evolved human to higher dimensions.

    1:19:11 about the slowing down of time, I had an experience I wish I could discuss with you-all. I was in a car accident where I could see it about to happen and I braced against the dash board. It seemed like a long time/long way off until we hit the stone wall. I was thrown up and forward so that my head went through the windshield. As I was falling back, I consciously opened my eyes with the intention of seeing the hole in the glass. I watched the bits of glass trickle away from my eyes in slow motion. When my back hit the seat-back I returned to normal time. Much later, when I visited the site where it happened I was astonished to see how short the distance from the road to the stone wall actually was. I think it's odd and interesting, but other than that I don't know what its significance is, if any. It's like scenes I've seen in movies, so I am certain others have experienced such time slowing events as well. (edited for typos)

    I was in an accident last year in May. A lady hit me from the back going 65mph, no braking, as my car was parked on the road with the hazards on (I smelled something burning so I pulled over). As soon as I got back into my car after checking it, she hit me. I remember pushing back the back of my seat with all my might, as if to push the wreckage from coming closer to me AS the car slammed into me. The crazy thing about this is that I actually immediately blacked out from the whip lash. I woke up in my totaled car down a 36 foot embankment. There was blood on the airbags, but no trace of where the blood came from (I was bruised up with internal injury, but no external ones). It still confuses me to today where the blood came from and how I clearly remember pushing back on the back seat, but I was simultaneously out cold. I do wonder if it was just the physical me that was knocked out while my consciousness/spirit/soul was fighting back. So strange.

    True science keeps opening doors fearlessly raising questions and offering scientists opportunities to build new knowledge, not regurgitating past theories as a final truth. It becomes scientism that refuses new challenges too scared to move beyond their comfort zone. True Scientists know they're not meant to feel comfortable with the unexplainable, but they research and document findings anyway. All great scientists in history used their imagination or a random observation.

    I woke up in 2017 with a thought formed in my mind, which I quickly wrote down. "Love is a quality of intelligence; intelligence is a quality of consciousness; and consciousness is a quality of all things, by degree." I believe now that we live in a conscious universe, and that science has a long way to go to understand the nature of our world and our experiences. It is never going to be possible to develop a theory of everything until consciousness is brought into the equation. The problem is that we use the word ambiguously, to mean awakeness, or thought, and that definition simply doesn't work if you think of the consciousness of a rock, or a plant. It means something different, and needs to be considered as part of a whole structure, not as a separate idea.

    Loved it! Been playing with these things for over 50 yrs. I read "As a Man Thinketh" at an early age and that helped ally my fears of being alone in my cognitions. We have more senses than we know. In the buddhist framework we count eight consciousnesses. Isn't Laws of physics some kind of oxymoron?? So, like, when and how did these laws go into effect 🙂?? Did we vote on them LOL?? The problem is similar to government. By the time we come up with a solution, the problem is 5 yr down the road. And so when truth is found it has already changed from what you perceive. Naomi Worth said, "A central goal of Buddhism is the transformation of perception, where one goes from seeing through a deluded filter to seeing reality. The Buddhist path is laid out with many prescriptions for how to go about this, with meditation as the key practice"

Humans are actually non- material psychic beings and together, our collective projections literally create our bodies and our physical home, the Earth which we live on together.

    I did have the experience of time slowing down. Back in the 70s I was on my motorbike in traffic waiting to make a right turn into a small street. A drunk driver in a big heavy car hit my motorbike at full speed from behind. I remember being in the air for what felt like a long time, and I remember thinking I have been in the air for a long time and will drop back to the ground and when I hit the ground it is going to hurt and I may be badly injured. I was not too badly injured just a sore back and neck for a week or so.

    This is the precise reason why meditation is held in such a great esteem within spiritual traditions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. It is not exactly described as “closing down the brain” within these traditions, but rather becoming calmer and more still within. Stillness meditation is the foundation on which other types of meditations can build upon. It is from within stillness we can start to expand our awareness and thus expand our understanding of ourselves and the reality we experience. Later, when we have become very familiar with our own stillness and have an (relatively) easy access to it we can start to experiment with taking bolder leaps into the realm of awareness in the midst of activity and busyness even. But for most practitioners the best starting point is the establishment of a state of realise stillness first. An obstacle to this practice arise if we start to enjoy this state of being and start to cling to it as if it is some form of “higher state of consciousness” that must be maintained at all times. This is regarded as an obstacle because it is based on an element of clinging within the mind. It is always necessary to remind oneself to never cling to anything that occurs in the mind. Not even a calm state of non-thought should be clung to. Likewise, we should never try to suppress what arises either. To fully accept but never cling to whatever arise in the mind is the attitude a meditator should carry with him at all times. In this way we start to work on our own desires and aversions effectively. Slowly we start to recognise that no matter what arises it will not last long before it is replaced by something else. It is here we’re starting to discover the real nature of our mind and whatever we experience. Moment by moment we observe that experiences come and go just like clouds in the sky. They arise out of nothing and dissolve into the same nothingness they came from. Even while they remain our experiences change and becomes something else. Nothing ever remains in the mind. The word “experience” encompass all the different events taking place within our awareness, such as thoughts, feelings and inputs through our five doors of sense consciousnesses.

    ​@@bradvincent2586its like all the organisation that your brain does that makes everything the way is is removed and a sort of musical dance is occurring with everything and you can pick out different songs and dances from the big constant moving thing. Leave you ever looked through a kaleidoscope? Wheras when you're sober everything is in an order where the table is one table and the dog is sitting under the table and the cup is on top of the table..when you take a kaleidoscope and look through it is breaks the image up and moves it around rearranges it. Its very like that except instead of it being Ann image being rearranged it's also sound and feeling and touch etc. As the song says everything is broken up and dances. The dripping tap becomes a symphony the table is not long a r pirated from thw dog and the cup but can be flattened into one tablecupdog complex object and then can be broken up into parts so the handle of the cup and the plane of the table top and the leg of the dog can become on distinct object while the body of the cup and the legs of the table and the ears of the dog for another distinct thing which then move together as if the three became one and then split into two. Or any number of breaking apart and comings together and interactions. Then there are also perceptions of things which are not visual but which are true like one time I was lying on my bed and I realised that all of us are breathing in and out at the same time and so are the trees and that when I breath in some negative space entity is breathing out into me and when I breathe out some negative soace entity is breathing in. And that entity which is the negative soace of my breath is connected to you because its the same negative soace of your breath and that that entity seemed to have a consciousness in the same way that a beloved teddybear feels like it has a real consciousness. So that represented itself as all these eyes connected by lines but those eyes were also lungs and we are really the negative space holes in this lung each one of us like a little alveola sac connected to this lung and if you think about it you are a being a conscious being. Who breathes in. And your alveolar are sacs and negative space in your lungs but without that soace you could not breathe. If that makes sense. So also visually a shadow becomes an object and an object becomes space. Things which arranged by our mind the way they are stop being arranged in the usual way and start to be open to rearrangement which if youre in a certain mood you can control to a certain extent but if you're not in that mood then things can arrange in quays you can't control and don't like. So if you have a fear it can come out of the walls and be right there ..and those experiences can be shared. I had two friends swear a helicopter landed in the middle of the room and they both saw it. Very odd. It's very like post modernism like Picasso or like impressionism where where something is shown in unreal colours it actually represents something more real than a photograph could capture. And a bad trip can be very scary ive never had one except when I drank bad alcohol and had an absolutely horrible trip. Basically poisoned but I've seen people have a bad trip. I've always seemed to be able to not lose my mind by not trying to hang onto it too tightly. That always hurts if you want to make sense of things instead of sort of dance with it.

    If time appears to slow down, it implies that our brains increase in thought processing speed. I once experienced time "slowing down" when I was in a road accident. The actions that I took very probably saved my life, and I was on[y able to take the decisions I took because I had plenty of time to choose the right ones. Dr. David Eagleman says that people who say that have experienced time slowing down during near-death experiences, have miss remembered them. I totally disagree with his scientific conclusions, but then, I'm not a scientist. As for psilocybin mushrooms. I've only taken them twice. I had two out-of-body experiences, but time didn't slow down for me. However, another boy in my school took a load of mushrooms and was killed trying to walk along an underground train track. I've never taken mushrooms since, and gave up all drugs, except alcohol, about a year or two later.

    that “slow down” of personal time in critical situations was already experimentally explained .. it’s not that you really see time slown down in that moment .. it’s that your brain stores more memories (like more momentary snapshots, cause you are very aware of what is happening in such moment - in general more tou are aware of world around you, more memories are stored in brain and vice veraa).. then retrospectivelly AFTER this event it looks to you time was slowed down - but that’s just because you have simply more memories from that event … your brain retrospectively gives you feeling of how much time pssed based on how much memories it have stored for that given time frame..

    The final theory of physics will need to include quantum physics and Consciousness. You’re spot on. Modern physics is like the new religion, where the status quo control the top tier and they don’t allow other options and mock anyone who has another thought. They make up things like Dark Matter and Dark Energy to make it sound like they know what they’re talking about. We should call both Dark Matter and Dark Energy something else, try Monkey Juice, now that’s more accurate. An example of misdirection redirected. Take the Singularity that is actually a Duality at the centre of our galaxy. The Black Holes at the centre of all spiral galaxies determines the physics of each galaxy, making each slightly different. Oh we’ve loads more to share. 🌟

    I believe the answer is the CTMU, it is a theory of reality that relies upon logic and includes both quantum physics and consciousness as integrated parts of reality. Please tell me if you agree with it.

    Having experienced the "freezing of external time" many times myself, and also questioned many top extreme sports athletes who also experience the phenomenon, I can answer your question. There is often a warp bubble around you that contains many physical objects outside your body that you CAN interact with with seemingly normal results TO YOUR PERCEPTION. Several times I have been able to accurately dissect the event and the "normal" equations of motion supply acceleration that should have killed me, and actions taken that saved my life that should have required up to 1000x the strength I could plausibly possess. For example: How does a person fly through the air in a crash, and handstand stop in 30cm, from 50kmph, legs still in the air, with a sharp edged stump 5cm from right between your eyes? Gravity behaved normally, but inertia was behaving at the perceived clock rate.

    Really interesting discussion. It seems pretty simple --there was a singularity, a mind in a higher dimension wanted to observe itself, and willed the separation of matter and dark matter. This created duality and a Big Bang. These act in a harmony that plays a song in a sense and allows consciousness to observe itself. This is the non-duality, duality model discussed in many religions. Not your physics, but it is our experience, isn't it? Fun discussion you presented here. Thanks

    Like the other guy says consciousness IS reality. Science got complacent rather than investigating it's axioms and dogmas. If it did, it would arrive at the basic conclusion, we have been relying on subjective experience to make every assumption. Instead of aknowledging the subjective, direct experience that informs everything a human does..........it goes on making a whooole world view based on strict materialism....rather than explore the subjective side. The fact that a huge revoltuion in science didnt' happen the minute the observer's effect was discovered..........says a lot about our science.Everything should have been put to question.

    That's probably because the "observer effect" is misnamed and the people who originally explored it (Von Neuman and Wigner) concluded they had made a mistake. Von Neuman merely said that some effect could be originating anywhere in the interaction chain and didn't rule out the observer but both he and Wigner showed that an interaction without any conscious mind was sufficient to "measure" and create the effect. Read what Wigner and Von Neuman actually wrote about this rather than relying on non-expert and motivated second hand takes that don't include their own debunking of it. This is like when people cite Frank Jackson's Mary's Room argument and leave out or don't know that Frank Jackson is a physicalist who addressed the argument as solved when he understood color experience as representational of knowledge rather than knowledge itself, collapsing the force of the argument@@jeanjacqueslundi3502

They left comet trails. And i moved around a great deal before it was all over.
