I have written a paper that explains a possible mechanism for non-local consciousness, which of course includes local consciousness. It is based on established laws of physics. What is new is attributing to a constituent of dark matter the possibility of storage and manipulation of information.

Here is the paper:

Please read it and be as critical as possible. I would love to get into a discussion with a PhD who is a dualist- that is, one who thinks God is outside of physical laws. You apparently think that consciousness is as well.

My view as a monist is that its all physics, even God. There is plenty of room in dark matter for all aspects of religious teachings including God.

Of course, there is a great deal we do not yet know about dark matter. Mainly since we cannot detect it experimentally yet, we have no way to decide between many possible hypotheses. I have chosen one set of hypotheses that provides for a supernatural realm for consciousness, afterlife and even God.

At the other extreme is physics that claims that dark matter is a theoretical mistake. We think we see dark matter because we are using gravitational theories that are limited to spherically symmetric conditions. Search for Reginald Cahill for the details. For example, that is why there is no dark matter present in spherically symmetric galaxies, only in spiral galaxies.

So Newton's theory of gravity in limited to spherical symmetry. Also Einstein's as he forced his theory to agree with Newton in the limit of low relative velocities. Check it out. The present laws of physics may be fundamentally flawed.

Finally, since you are in solid state, you must be able to understand the properties of Bose-Einstein Condensates(BEC) which are fundamental to my thinking on dark matter and consciousness.

I look forward to more discussion. We could jump to another forum so as to avoid the time delay due to maderation
