Aaron Frank Abstract: Through uncovering and manipulating the patterns of nature, reductionist approaches have been remarkably effective in a variety of domains within science and engineering. Due to its success, the mechanistic sensibilities of this paradigm have extended beyond practical application and increasingly shape the cognitive frames which inform our ideas of truth about reality…

Towards a Deeper Understanding In Physics
Suresh Emre Abstract: As the scientific coverage of physics expanded, specialization became necessary for the professional physicist. This was amplified by the “publish or perish” culture in academia. Overspecialization lessens the chances of seeing connections between different areas of physics. Finding connections is key to a deeper understanding. This is relevant for the theories that…
The Sounds and Colours of Creation
Frank van den Bovenkamp (frank@trigunamedia.com) Abstract: The term “Universe” conveys an inherent unity—a single, indivisible whole. The forces shaping the vast cosmos and the atom’s inner realms are interconnected, springing from a shared source. Yet energy alone cannot explain the harmony and beauty of creation; a guiding principle must imbue it with purpose and order….

The New Physics: The Physics Of Information, Computation, Self-Organization and Consciousness
Dr. Ediho Lokanga Abstract: Many researchers are dissatisfied with physics’ current Standard Model (SM), pointing out its shortcomings despite several successes and achievements. They are openly calling for a new approach or new physics. Furthermore, the writer points out the lack of references to consciousness in all the major theories of physics, as the founders…
On the Sustainability of AI Growth
Dr. Avishek RanjanDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bombay, India Artificial Intelligence (AI) denotes the intelligent behavior of computer programs and machines that depend on these, in contrast to the “natural” intelligence of biological species. It can be argued that since silicon, one of the elements used in computer chips, is a naturally-occurring resource, and programming…
Reconceptualizing the Origin of Life and the Universe
By Dr. Richard Gauthier What if atoms are alive? Abiogenesis, the origin of life from atoms and molecules, is the current scientific hypothesis for the origin of life on Earth. This may change soon. In 1986, Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar proposed that billions of subatomic living entities called microvita compose atoms. Microvita may have been emanated…
Vital Airs and the Flow of Cognition
Introduction In 1985, Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1922-1990) began an extraordinary series of discourses that would eventually fill a total of 26 volumes over the next five years. He named the series Shabda Cayaniká, which translates into English as “A Collection of Words”. Each discourse dwells on certain root words and different meanings associated with…
The New Age of Science and Spirituality
By Steven Richheimer Introduction Suppose a scientist wanted to test his theory that objects in the universe were connected by a hidden force or field of information that was not limited by space or time. To test this hypothesis he designed two identical roulette wheels with only black and red pockets that could be spun…
