Is c a perceptual ceiling? A cross-species timing proposal

Physics Essays June 20, 2026 Danny Baranes

This manuscript explores a novel hypothesis: That the speed of light ( c ), rather than being a fixed, observer-independent physical constant, may emerge from the perceptual and cognitive limitations of biological observers. While c is foundational in relativity and modern physics, its measurement is always mediated through instruments and interpreted via human perceptual frameworks. We propose...

Teletransportation paradox and quantum consciousness

Physics Essays September 3, 2023 Everett X. Wang, Zhong Lin Wang, Shudong Zhou et al. 1 citation

Recent research suggests that the human brain may possess quantum computing capabilities, but the implications for consciousness remain unclear. This study investigates the role of quantum computing in accounting for the nature of consciousness using teletransportation thought experiments to transfer a person from one location to another. Two versions of the experiment are proposed using the...

Anomalous entropic effects in physical systems associated with collective consciousness

Physics Essays March 27, 2023 D. Radin

Beginning in 1998, a network of electronic random number generators located around the world has continuously recorded samples of truly random bits. The resulting data were used to explore a hypothesis that predicts the emergence of anomalous structure in randomness correlated with events that attract widespread human attention. A formal experiment testing this hypothesis from 1998 to 2015...

Space‐time structure as a property derived from the operation of consciousness at the quantum-classical boundary

Physics Essays March 16, 2021 Liang Shan

The space‐time is empirically perceived as a pre-existing property of the universe. However, a special kind of perception that takes place in near-death-experiences (NDEs) is challenging this idea. Here, I will illustrate how understanding of this particular state of consciousness (named the bodiless consciousness) helps us re-think the space‐time structure of the physical world. I first...
