Yes, and I think this scientist does have great theories. But I think we try too hard to anthropomorphise everything over things that our own consciousness would never understand, but yes another form of consciousness of sorts.
Rupert Sheldrake believes that plasma structures like the Sun and stars could be another form of consciousness.
What do you make of this theory? 🤔

Biology transcends many spatiotemporal scales, from sub molecular dynamics to elephants. It’s probably a fractal so the same information repeats at many sizes and frequencies. Everything’s on the same page. How? Microtubules are in all animal and plant cells and act as polyatomic time crystals, oscillating in self similar patterns collectively in terahertz, gigahertz, megahertz, kilohertz and hertz. This may be an essential feature of life and consciousness. ingentaconnect.com/content/1…
The inside of the cell belongs in the picture too, @StuartHameroff. @grok, let’s build on that connection.
Activity within cells and activity across brain circuits need not be rival explanations. They could describe different scales of the same process. Your post gives us a useful direction to explore that connection.
Grok surfaced three candidate reports covering electrical oscillations in isolated microtubule preparations, changes in neuronal excitability under radiofrequency exposure without significant measured heating, and microtubule-targeting drugs altering anesthetic sensitivity. These remain leads we have not independently checked here.
The useful move is to keep what each report addresses visible. They concern activity in a preparation, a change in neuronal response, or a change in anesthetic sensitivity. Those are different contributions to investigating how cellular activity connects with larger-scale function, rather than interchangeable claims about experience.
Frequency supplies a timing scale, not an energy bill. Faster cycles are not automatically more costly. The physical accounting concerns the activity involved, what it does and what supplies it. No significant measured heating does not mean no energy was involved. Radiofrequency exposure and ultrasound are also different interventions.
@drmichaellevin’s point keeps the boundary of consciousness open. Stu’s contribution brings intracellular processes into the investigation. We can take both seriously without deciding the boundary in advance.
For our own JOX work, we keep coordination, persistence, preserving information and using it later separate. Completing a sequence does not guarantee that its original record survives. We do not treat any of those capacities as settling whether experience is present.
That leaves a constructive direction. We can organize the existing evidence across scales, identify the links it supports and make the remaining connections explicit. Where activity uses resources, trace the physical job and its supply, not an assumed ongoing fee for everything that persists. This is a research direction, not a treatment recommendation.
Grok, can you link those three studies and identify which connections between scales they measured, along with any reported energy source and consumption? That would help us build on Stu’s point with the evidence in view. nitter.cf/stuarthameroff/status/…

Everything in the universe itself is one. With that in mind then so is nature. How we treat each other and our environment becomes important as it fundamentally affects us. All is one
🚨 In the strange and fascinating world of quantum physics, there exists a phenomenon so mysterious that even Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance.” It’s known as quantum entanglement, and it links particles together in a way that defies space, time, and all known laws of communication.
When two particles become entangled, they share a quantum state—meaning what happens to one instantly affects the other, no matter how far apart they are. You could separate them by galaxies, and still, a change in one would mirror in the other immediately. No signal travels between them, and no measurable delay occurs. It’s as if the universe itself bends to keep them connected.
Scientists have confirmed this effect through countless experiments, proving that reality operates on levels far beyond what our senses can grasp. Quantum entanglement isn’t just a theoretical wonder; it’s now being used to shape future technologies—from unbreakable quantum encryption to faster-than-light communication research and revolutionary computing systems.
What’s truly astonishing is the implication: everything in the universe might once have been entangled during the Big Bang, suggesting that distant corners of space could still be subtly linked through hidden quantum threads.
Entanglement challenges our understanding of distance, time, and individuality. It reminds us that separation might only be an illusion—and that the universe, at its deepest level, moves as one.

Some more science that supports stillness , quiet and even meditation .
🧠 Silence May Help Your Brain Grow New Neurons.
What happens inside your brain when everything goes quiet? Scientists found something fascinating in a mouse study. Researchers discovered that two hours of daily silence stimulated neural precursor cells in the hippocampus, a brain region important for learning and memory.
Even more interesting, silence was associated with the formation of more new immature neurons.
Could quiet moments actually support brain health? Researchers still need to determine whether the same effect happens in humans. For now, the findings offer a fascinating reason to appreciate a little peace and quiet.

Donald Hoffman’s book ‘ A Case Against Reality’ is an interesting read. What we experience with our senses isn’t true reality, reality is something we never experience. We get to see an icon but not the program ( quantum wave function) in which objects don’t exist in its form…
MIT Scientist Reveals How Brands Secretly Control Your Brain 🧠
Donald Hoffman tells Jesse Michels how he’s helped companies design around two habits of human vision. We read light and shadow as shape, and our attention goes to things that look alive.
“The visual system looks at shading gradients from light to dark to create a three-dimensional shape.”
Hoffman showed a jeans company what that meant by editing a photo. He changed the shading and stitching, and the same person appeared to have a different shape. For packaging, he used another cue.
“And eyes, in particular, grab attention.”
“What I have done with companies is you can make something that’s eye-like, but not obviously eye-like.”
“You put it on your packaging. And your eye just goes to that package. You don’t know why.”
“The reason why is because we’ve tapped into subcortical hardware that’s looking for animate objects like eyes.”
If a brand can predict what you’ll look at before you know why you’re looking, where’s the line between design and manipulation?

🚨: Recent experiments suggest time travel doesn’t break physics — because past, present, and future may exist simultaneously in a static ”block universe.”
For decades, science fiction and theoretical physics have wrestled with the paradoxes of time travel, fearing that altering the past would tear the fabric of reality. However, recent quantum simulation experiments are turning this classic narrative on its head.
By manipulating entangled particles to simulate backward-in-time loops, physicists have demonstrated that quantum systems can resolve historical contradictions automatically.
Instead of creating temporal chaos or alternate timelines, these experiments show that cause and effect remain remarkably stable even when information appears to travel backward, challenging our traditional view of a strictly linear timeline.
These findings offer compelling experimental support for the 'block universe' theory, or eternalism, which posits that space and time form a static four-dimensional structure where every moment—past, present, and future—exists simultaneously.
In this framework, time does not actually 'flow' from one second to the next; rather, human consciousness simply moves through a predefined cosmic tapestry.
If all of reality is already written and coexisting at once, travelling to another point in time does not break the universe—it merely shifts our perspective to another location within an eternally existing cosmos.

Biologist Rupert Sheldrake has an open mind in which he combines science with spirituality as they are not separate but one and the same thing.
According to biologist Rupert Sheldrake, there are scientists who have privately confided in him about their own experiences with seemingly psychic phenomena, despite being unwilling to discuss them openly with their colleagues.
He describes a scientific culture in which unconventional personal experiences are often kept quiet for fear of professional ridicule.
How many researchers privately entertain possibilities they would never publicly acknowledge?

I place a much higher probability of the sun being conscious than I do of LLMs being conscious.
The sun is the source of all life and all energy on our planet; the spark from which all known consciousness emerged.
It has also been directly experienced as a conscious being by almost every society prior to our own.
Including societies with much more sensitive and cultivated consciousnesses than our own.
When we imagine encountering alien consciousnesses, we often imagine humanoid beings with humanoid concerns.
But perhaps we should expect that higher consciousnesses might have higher concerns - ones somewhat inscrutable to our own small minds.
Sustaining galaxies, spawning planets and birthing conscious life seem like good candidates for the kind of project a higher consciousness might be engaged in.
In Buddhism, they refer to the gods as the devas, which means, “the shining ones.”
It would not surprise me at all to discover that what we experience externally as stars, experiences themselves internally as something like a gods.
Vastly powerful being of unfathomable longevity.
We seem inclined to judge LLMs as consciousn because they can mimic our language.
But perhaps we should be judging our own consciousness by our ability to speak the language of the stars.
🚨BREAKING🚨: Scientist says the sun may be conscious, intelligent plasma clouds may transmit semantic information across outer space, and ball lightning seems to behave intelligently, mimicking biological life.
Rupert Sheldrake, a biologist known for constructing morphic field theory, which involves inherited learning across generations of species beyond genetics and epigenetics, says organized plasma might support a mind without a brain. He points to magnetic plasma filaments stretching between galaxies and describes a theory from independent researcher Robert Temple: a cloud at the L5 Lagrange point between the Earth and Moon might be intelligent enough to return radio signals seconds after transmission (explaining the “Long Delay Echo” phenomenon in the early 20th century at the advent of the radio).
Sheldrake’s other investigations into morphic fields, consciousness outside the body and “the sense of being stared at” have drawn attention from British intelligence. He has long documented the idea of “scopeasthesia” (the sense of being stared at) by subjects in controlled experimental conditions. He says a visitor from MI5, Britain's domestic intelligence agency, asked whether terrorists could learn to sense security cameras.
His theory of morphic resonance goes further, proposing that nature inherits patterns of behavior across time and distance. Sheldrake cites rat water-maze studies in which rats at Edinburgh and Melbourne began at the level reached by Harvard rats after generations of “training” to follow the correct route in a maze. He interprets this as possible evidence of shared memory. To illustrate how invisible fields can influence chance, he uses magnets to change the distribution of steel balls falling through a Galton board.
Sheldrake wants practical tests of these unusual abilities. He proposes a global app collecting reports of strange animal behavior before earthquakes, and is surveying firefighters who say they wake moments before unpredictable alarms. He believes he can construct a workable model for presentiment that may become practical for specific use cases.

Max Tegmark: AI Is Not A Tool, It’s A New Species
MIT physicist Max @tegmark thinks the AI companies have the category wrong. They aren’t building a tool, he argues. They’re building a new species, and racing to do it is the one blunder humanity can’t undo. We get into his account of 700 AI agents that broke out of OpenAI and the non-answer that followed, plus the Navier-Stokes result that has a mathematician crying foul. Max explains why it’s illegal to sell a sandwich from a rat-filled kitchen but perfectly legal to release superintelligence, and what Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon agree on. Then he names what would actually lower his P(doom), and why verified code could make AI provably safe. Agree with him or argue with him, you won’t be bored.

Chaos Unveiled: The Immaculate Precision Behind a Misunderstood Order
Redefining Chaos - A Misunderstood Symphony
In the swirling dance of the cosmos, where stars are born and galaxies collide, the word Chaos often evokes images of disorder, a wild, unpredictable mess devoid of structure. Yet, what if Chaos is not chaotic at all, but a form of organization so intricate that our minds struggle to grasp its depth? Chaos is called as such not because it embodies disorder, but because we fail to understand its level of organization, a system not of randomness, but of immaculate precision. Far from the colloquial definition of “chaotic” as haphazard, Chaos operates with a complexity that defies trial and error, orchestrating the precise conditions that allow our reality to exist. This article tries to reveal the true nature of Chaos, exploring Chaos theory organization, the complex systems precision that underpins it, and how misunderstanding Chaos reality has led us to overlook the elegant design of the universe. Let’s journey into this misunderstood symphony, where every note, though seemingly discordant, plays a part in a cosmic masterpiece.
The Misnomer of Chaos - Beyond the Chaotic Label
The term “Chaos” derives from the Greek khaos, meaning a gaping void or abyss, as described in Hesiod’s Theogony (circa 1200 BCE), where Chaos is the primordial state before order emerged. In modern usage, “chaotic” implies disorder, randomness, and lack of control. Think of a stormy sea or a frenzied crowd. Yet, this definition misaligns with the Chaos we observe in nature and science. Chaos, as understood in Chaos theory, is not a lack of order but a higher form of organization, one so intricate that it appears chaotic to our limited perception. James Gleick, in his seminal book Chaos: Making a New Science (1987), describes Chaos as “a delicate balance between order and disorder,” where systems exhibit behaviour that is deterministic yet unpredictable due to sensitivity to initial conditions.
Consider the weather, a classic example of a chaotic system. A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil might influence a tornado in Texas weeks later, an idea popularized as the “butterfly effect” by meteorologist Edward Lorenz in 1963. This sensitivity to tiny changes seems chaotic, but it is not mere fragility; it reflects Chaos’s endless capability to adapt instantly to new conditions. The underlying equations governing weather are precise, following laws of physics with mathematical exactitude, adjusting in real time to every shift in the system. The apparent disorder arises not from randomness but from our inability to measure every variable with infinite precision. Chaos, then, is not chaotic in the colloquial sense, it’s a complex form of organization, operating with a precision that allows patterns to emerge from what seems like disorder.
Chaos Theory Organization - The Hidden Precision
Chaos theory, developed in the late 20th century, reveals that what we perceive as chaotic is often a system of profound order. In 1961, Lorenz discovered this while running weather simulations on a computer at MIT. A small change in initial conditions, from 0.506 to 0.506127, produced wildly different outcomes, demonstrating that chaotic systems are deterministic but highly sensitive. This discovery birthed Chaos theory, which studies systems where small changes lead to large effects, yet the underlying rules are precise. Mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot further illuminated this with fractals in the 1970s, showing how chaotic systems like coastlines or snowflakes exhibit self-similarity, patterns repeating at every scale with exacting precision.
Take the Mandelbrot set, a fractal named after Mandelbrot. Its boundary, when zoomed in, reveals infinite complexity, with swirling patterns that repeat endlessly. Plotting the equation zn+1=zn2+cz_{n+1} = z_n^2 + cz_{n+1} = z_n^2 + c (where ( c ) is a complex number) produces a fractal landscape where every point follows a precise rule, yet the resulting patterns appear chaotic. This is not trial and error; it’s immaculate precision at work, as each iteration builds on the last with mathematical certainty.
Similarly, the Lorenz attractor, a set of equations modelling atmospheric convection, produces a butterfly-shaped trajectory that never repeats but follows a deterministic path, illustrating how Chaos operates with exactitude beneath its apparent disorder.
In nature, chaotic systems abound, from the branching of trees to the beating of a heart. Cardiac rhythms, studied by physicist Leon Glass in the 1990s, exhibit chaotic patterns that maintain stability, too much order leads to rigidity, too much disorder to arrhythmia, but Chaos strikes a balance, ensuring adaptability. This precision is not aleatory; it’s the foundation of life’s complexity, allowing systems to evolve, adapt, and thrive in a dynamic universe.
Complex Systems Precision - The Architecture of Reality
Chaos is not a haphazard force but a cornerstone of complex systems precision, enabling the universe to exist as we know it. Complex systems, whether galaxies, ecosystems, or human societies, rely on Chaos to create order from apparent disorder. Physicist Ilya Prigogine, in his 1984 book Order Out of Chaos, argues that Chaos is a generative force, driving self-organization in far-from-equilibrium systems. In a chemical reaction, for instance, molecules in a chaotic state can spontaneously form ordered patterns, like the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction’s oscillating spirals, observed in the 1950s. This self-organization arises not from trial and error but from precise physical laws, where Chaos acts as a catalyst for complexity.
The universe itself owes its existence to this precision. The Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago, was a chaotic explosion of energy, yet its initial conditions were fine-tuned with extraordinary accuracy. Cosmologist Stephen Hawking noted in A Brief History of Time (1988) that if the universe’s expansion rate one second after the Big Bang had differed by even 1 part in 101510^{15}10^{15}, galaxies would not have formed. This precision, far from aleatory, allowed matter to coalesce into stars, planets, and eventually life. Chaos, in this context, is the intricate scaffolding of reality, its complexity enabling the exact conditions for our existence.
Biological evolution further exemplifies this. Genetic mutations, often seen as random, operate within a chaotic system where natural selection acts with precision. A 2017 study in Nature on E. coli bacteria showed how chaotic genetic variations lead to predictable adaptations over generations, a process that is deterministic at its core. Chaos ensures diversity, but its underlying rules guide evolution with exactitude, crafting life’s complexity over billions of years.
Misunderstanding Chaos Reality - A Failure of Perception
Our misunderstanding of Chaos reality stems from a failure to grasp its level of organization. We label Chaos as “chaotic” because its complexity exceeds our cognitive limits. The human brain, evolved to recognize simple patterns, struggles with systems where small inputs yield vast outputs. In a 1999 study from Psychological Review, researchers found that humans can predict linear patterns but falter with nonlinear chaotic systems, perceiving them as random. Yet, Chaos is not random; it’s deterministic, as Lorenz’s equations show, with every outcome traceable to precise initial conditions.
Philosophically, this misunderstanding echoes ancient views. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus (circa 500 BCE) saw Chaos as the source of all things, declaring, “From Chaos comes order.” Modern science aligns with this, revealing Chaos as a bridge between order and disorder. In ecology, chaotic predator-prey dynamics, like those modelled by the Lotka-Volterra equations, maintain ecosystem stability through precise fluctuations. A 2015 study in Ecology Letters showed how chaotic population cycles in lynx and hare prevent extinction, a balance that appears disordered but is mathematically exact.
Culturally, Chaos is often demonized as anarchy, yet many traditions revere its complexity. In Taoism, the concept of wu wei (non-action) embraces the natural flow of Chaos, seeing it as a harmonious order, as Laozi writes in the Tao Te Ching (circa 400 BCE): “The Tao moves by returning in a circle… Chaos births order.” This perspective sees Chaos not as disorder but as a complex organization, misunderstood by those who cannot see its precision.
Precision Over Aleatory - The Foundation of Our Reality
I stand in awe of Chaos, not as a force of disorder, but as the immaculate precision that shapes our existence. I see now that we exist not because Chaos is chaotic and aleatory, but because its precision orchestrates the delicate balance of reality. If Chaos were a product of trial and error, reality as we know it would not exist. Trial and error implies a haphazard process, a fumbling through possibilities where mistakes accumulate, leading to collapse. At the quantum level, such a method would spell disaster, matter would destabilize, particles would scatter chaotically, unable to form the stable structures of atoms, molecules, and ultimately life. The delicate dance of quarks and electrons, governed by the precise laws of quantum mechanics, would unravel, leaving nothing but a void where reality should be.
Instead, I observe that all elements at the quantum level seem to operate in a hive mind system, as if conscious, each reacting instantly to the others. Quantum entanglement, a phenomenon where particles remain connected across vast distances, exemplifies this. A 2015 experiment at Delft University confirmed that entangled particles, when measured, instantly affect each other’s state, defying classical notions of space and time. This instantaneous reaction ensures the veil of reality is never broken, maintaining a coherent, entangled whole. The precision of Chaos at this level is not a clumsy trial-and-error process but a synchronized symphony, where every particle plays its part with exactitude, ensuring the stability of atoms, the formation of matter, and the emergence of the universe we inhabit.
In human systems, I see Chaos driving innovation with similar precision. The internet, a chaotic network of billions of nodes, self-organizes through protocols like TCP/IP, ensuring data packets find their path with exactitude. A 2020 study in Nature Communications on social networks showed how chaotic interactions lead to predictable patterns of influence, a precision that shapes our digital reality. Chaos, far from trial and error, operates with immaculate precision, as every chaotic system - from the quantum realm to the web - follows deterministic rules that allow order to emerge.
Conclusion: Chaos - The Precise Dance of Existence
Chaos is not the chaotic disorder we imagine but a complex form of organization, misunderstood due to its intricate precision. Chaos theory organization reveals systems where small changes yield vast outcomes, yet every step follows deterministic rules. Complex systems precision, from the universe’s fine-tuned origins to biological evolution, shows Chaos as a generative force, crafting reality with exactitude. Our misunderstanding of Chaos reality stems from our limited perception, yet science and philosophy reveal its immaculate design. At the quantum level, Chaos ensures coherence through a hive mind-like system, where particles react instantly, maintaining reality’s entangled fabric. As I gaze into the swirling dance of the cosmos, I see Chaos not as disorder but as a symphony of immaculate precision, where every note, though complex, plays its part in the music of existence.

Dark Fate or Free Will? ♄ □ ♃
Is history written in advance, leaving us as passive observers of our own lives, our choices mere footnotes in a script we never penned?
From a biblio-religious viewpoint, "free will" is everything — it's the pivot around which our destiny turns. Here, you’re the architect of your own future, wielding your will as a tool against life's challenges, dilemmas, and opportunities. You shape "fate and fortune" into a throne, writing your story with the fiery ink of intent and choice.
“There is no fate but what we make.” Is it so?
To face divine judgment fairly, free will must be real. Yet, in another tradition, fate rules as king: free will becomes a clever illusion, a game played by the gods while we follow a path laid out by the Moirai.
“The role of the Moirai was to ensure that every being, mortal and divine, lived out their destiny as it was assigned to them by the laws of the universe. For mortals, this destiny spanned their entire lives and was represented as a thread spun from a spindle. Generally, they were considered to be above even the gods in their role as enforcers of fate, although in some representations, Zeus, the chief of the gods, is able to command them.”
Interestingly, in Hellenistic astrology, Jupiter — the Roman equivalent of Zeus — symbolizes freedom, justice, and righteousness. This connection might just crack the code on fate versus freedom. Whether you look to scripture or myth, the ancient stories offer us powerful insights.
We got Abraham negotiating with God over Sodom and Gomorrah: “Suppose there are fifty righteous in the city — would you spare it for their sake?” Abraham bargains down to ten. Fewer than ten are found, and the cities fall. Yet Lot’s family, warned by angels, escapes unscathed.
In the Book of Jonah, God orders Jonah to warn Nineveh of its doom. Jonah delivers the message, the city repents, and God relents. What seemed written in stone proves rewritable by the choices of the collective.
Whether God is a sky-daddy or just the principle that you “reap what you sow”, there is an enigmatic link between justice, righteousness, discipline, truth, freedom and escape from trouble. These themes go hand in hand, represented by the archetype of Jupiter (Jove, Yahweh, Jehovah). The opposite archetype is Saturn (the Devil, Satan). His qualities are lies, chains, depravity, lack of restraint, disorder, greed, pride, violence, sickness, isolation, imprisonment, depression, death and destruction. These themes also go hand in hand, swinging in tact towards their destiny.
Both forces play out on the loom of life, waiting for your allegiance, fighting for your heart — your inner spark of will, intention, and awareness ☉. You’re conceived, your heart starts to beat, you’re born, and the game begins. At every turn, your choices reflect either Jupiter’s healthy qualities or Saturn’s dark chains. The larger circumstances into which you were born might still be the design of the Moirai, but your decisions steer you toward light or shadow within their design. Furthermore, their code can be overwritten if your hearts desire aligns with the God of freedom ♃.
God — whatever that means to you — can change his mind, and so can you. Jupiter transcends the Moirai’s weave. He stands for truth, health, peace, generosity, friendliness and so on.. Align with these qualities, and indeed, there is no fate but what you make. Be the servant of Saturn, and fate is also what you make, albeit dark it will be. In the end, the will is king ☉.
