The Grand Biocentric Design: How Life Creates Reality

Product Description
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.\nWhat is consciousness? Why are we here? Where did it all come from—the laws of nature, the stars, the universe? Humans have been asking these questions forever, but science hasn't succeeded in providing many answers—until now. In
The Grand Biocentric Design, Robert Lanza, one of
Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People," is joined by theoretical physicist Matej Pavšic and astronomer Bob Berman to shed light on the big picture that has long eluded philosophers and scientists alike.\nThis engaging, mind-stretching exposition of how the history of physics has led us to Biocentrism—the idea that life creates reality-takes readers on a step-by-step adventure into the great science breakthroughs of the past centuries, from Newton to the weirdness of quantum theory, culminating in recent revelations that will challenge everything you think you know about our role in the universe.\n​This book offers the most complete explanation of the science behind Biocentrism to date, delving into the origins of the memorable principles introduced in previous books in this series, as well as introducing new principles that complete the theory. The authors dive deep into topics including consciousness, time, and the evidence that our observations-or even knowledge in our minds-can affect how physical objects behave.\nThe Grand Biocentric Design is a one-of-a-kind, groundbreaking explanation of how the universe works, and an exploration of the science behind the astounding fact that time, space, and reality itself, all ultimately depend upon us.
Review \n"quite thrilling...its notions are exciting ones, and they do a sound job of linking them to observable, replicable experiments. Fans of revolutionary science--or just big, cerebral questions--will enjoy this ambitious work. A thought-provoking dispatch from the frontier of physics." \n―Kirkus Reviews\n.\n"For those addicted to exploring our role as observers in defining our universe, here is your long-awaited major update . . . You'll love The Grand Biocentric Design―it adds new turf to the physics of making universes, and includes "solid evidence" at last, that observers define the structure of physical reality itself." \n―George Church\nRobert Winthrop Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, Professor of Health Sciences& Technology at Harvard & MIT, and member of the National Academy of Sciences & the National Academy of Engineering (on Thomson Reuters short-list for the Nobel Prize)\n.\n"The Grand Biocentric Design brilliantly draws our attention to the most important feature of the entire universe: our human minds . . . This new book brings out the real nature of our universe: for all of us to deeply search for fuller understanding & for meaning." \n―Richard Conn Henry\nAcademy Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University, and former Deputy Director of NASA's Astrophysics Division\n.\n"For those searching for answers to contemporary physics' disturbing findings, The Grand Biocentric Design is must-reading." \n―Ronald M. Green\nEunice & Julian Cohen Professor Emeritus for the Study of Ethics & Human Values atDartmouth College\n.\n"In The Grand Biocentric Design, his third and best book on the topic, Lanza and colleagues unpack, with unprecedented rigor, his theory of biocentrism through the hard lens of physics . . . If you consider biocentrism mere philosophy, look to this volume to make the case thatscience is at its core." \n―Pamela Weintraub\nSenior Editor at Aeon, former Executive Editor of Discover magazine & Editor-in-Chief of OMNI magazine\n.\n"This must-read book is a masterpiece...it will provide thought provoking and life changinginsights
