Details: 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. What 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. This 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. 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. The 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 "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." ―Kirkus Reviews . "For those addicted to exploring our role as observers in defining our universe, here is your long-awaited major update. It is as rare as a unicorn to see a major stem cell biologist collaborating with a theoretical physicist to produce a coherent, fresh-new, readable and clearly illustrated book. 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." ― George Church Robert 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) . " The Grand Biocentric Design brilliantly draws our attention to the most important feature of the entire universe: our human minds....it is the physicists' microscopic examination of that external world that most vividly reveals the "the grand biocentric design" of the universe. This new book brings out the real nature of our universe: for all of us to deeply search for fuller understanding & for meaning." ―Richard Conn Henry Academy Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University, and former Deputy Director of NASA's Astrophysics Division . "In 1887, the Michelson & Morley experiment unexpectedly showed that the celestial aether did not exist. This upended classical physics, led to Einstein's theory of relativity and the atomic bomb. Since then, quantum physics has revealed the decisive role that the observer's consciousness plays in shaping the world we experience...As before, a new theory waits to be born. Biocentrism is such a theory...For those searching for answers to contemporary physics
