Summary Category
Welcome to the "Summary" section of Species Universe, where we curate and summarize key articles and insights that delve into the core principles of discovering the ultimate missing link in solving the Quantum Conundrum. Here, we explore the profound connection between consciousness and the physical universe, uncovering how ancient traditions and cutting-edge science converge on the idea that non-physical and non-local phenomena are at the heart of reality. By expanding our thinking beyond materialistic limitations, we embrace the truths revealed by Quantum Mechanics and timeless traditions, leading us closer to a comprehensive understanding of our universe. Dive into concise yet comprehensive summaries that illuminate the path to this groundbreaking discovery.
The Age of Artificial Consciousness
The intelligence that is built into the machines that we create is pushing the boundaries of their capability and independence, blurring the line between humans and technology. In fact, many researchers think that we are approaching the point where machines possess more intelligence than an average human. The new battlefront is now the concept of […]
Ohio State professor challenges classical view of consciousness – OSU – The Lantern
At first thought, you would not expect a professor of international politics and security to be interested in research exploring our consciousness. Yet this is exactly what is happening at the OSU. The book that has just been published presented a decade worth of research by professor Wendt. He explains that his interest in […]
Meditation Advice from Ringu Tulku Rinpoche
Meditation is a practice that has a goal of getting rid of tensions in our body because it is not desirable feeling. When we practice sitting, we tend to relax the whole body. As you start the routine, you will gradually feel the parts where tension is present, and you can consciously target these […]
The God quest: why humans long for immortality – New Statesman
Eternity and immortality are two concepts that very few of us would recognize as something we pursue, yet just by observing human behavior, we can say that the desire for this life that lasts forever is quite present. The unusual conclusion about these quests is that we do not give them up even as […]
Consciousness and Dreams
Many people would quickly say that our dreams and consciousness are completely opposite experiences. However, since we remember the dreams in most cases, we can actually state that dreams are exactly the experiences deeply rooted in consciousness. In fact, they are among the most unique and vivid experiences of this kind. Even those who […]
Visual Attention and Consciousness
It does not need to be a very persuasive argument for us to understand the meaning of paying attention as we witness something visually or receive information through conversation. We also know, almost intuitively, that this has to be related to awareness and consciousness. However, scientific definition of that attention is not easy to […]
Wild and Structured Consciousness
From the philosophical point of view, consciousness can be considered quite wild. Our experience of the things like shooting pain or encountering intense color is quite different in its mechanism from processing information that is structured. This conclusion is the result of studies of empirical nature where scientists looked at cognitive functions of our […]
Consciousness and Memory
When discussing consciousness, we are quick to discount the importance of memory, yet this is one of the most influential factors that contribute to our consciousness. Memory is often connected to perception. We think of memory of an event as a confirmation of the event happening, because we don’t question the existence of something […]
WUSTL physicist debates ‘quantum mind’ at New York roundtable | The Source – Washington University in St. Louis News
Professor of physics Mark Alford participated in a roundtable discussion about the quantum mind and consciousness. Stuart Hameroff of the University of Arizona participated as well, arguing that perception and consciousness arise from the collapse of the wave function of quantum-entangled electrons in the brain. Alford took the other side of the debate, insisting […]
