The Biocentric Universe

An intriguing theory — that the living world builds the physical world — may help answer some of the biggest questions in science. Never heard of the biocentric universe theory? Please read the FAQ at www.biocentricity.net.

Rude and/or dismissive comments will be dismissed and deleted in kind. Please note that you are not likely to have superior understanding of this subject matter from watching a show on the History Channel or reading a few articles.

5) Why is there any need for death in a biocentric universe ? Or variation ? Or evolution from simple to complex ?

[BiocentricUniversity]

@maxavail -- Need? There isn't any need for anything. Things happen based on probability, not on any human idea of what is "needed."

@maxavail , @BiocentricUniversity

It's like quanta. Subatomic particles, light waves, sound waves and all matter/energy is constantly jumping in and out of reality via Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principal and Schrodinger's Wave Equation. All things come and go. This I believe is a good guess for why death is "needed" in a biocentric universe. It doesn't imply that the entire universe is perfect for life. It implies that consciousness forms suitable habitats for life.

Sloppy thinking. The life "possible" and "not possible" is almost laughable. We perceive order because we measure based on arbitrary units?  Then use it to prove creationism by our own brains? This is The Egocentric Universe, where our neo-cortex and our extremely limited perception collectively creates what we perceive as it goes along, and it all makes sense to us! Brilliant! How is this different from what Berkeley said in the Three Dialogues? This is 1717 thought with digital media!

@BiocentricUniversity are u a christian?

I'm certain people have made you aware of this, but if you're a scientist you need to stop calling this a "theory". it is not theory in the sense of relativistic theory or quantum theory. You also said in the video that there were ways to test this idea? If there are ways to test it it would be immensely helpful to state them, rather than glossing over it. Then it might actually be a hypothesis. Until then its just conjecture.

@maxavail Salaam...Because The Biocentric Universe say reality is a process, and that which involves evolution must move through one state of existence to another....process, we are witnessing a BiocentricUniverse...not experiencing it, thats why we are experiencing death and numbers of variations....Death do not exist in a timeless spaceless realm.....Because in a timeless spaceless realm, there is only pure vibrant coinonuness, there only exist love, peace, and Beings with beautiful souls.

This is just an in depth question of which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Does it make sense when i try to explain biocentrism like this:

''imagine a tree and a rock next to each other. If you are the rock, nothing exist because the rock is not alive and got no sense at all but if you are the tree the rock does exist because the tree can sense the rock in some way. If there was no life anywhere, nothing would exist because nothing can sense it.''

@BiocentricUniversity "meaningful information entropic decrease" means that meaningful information gets lost within a system that decays over time. If entropy is extremely low then information as extremely high, not low. As entropy (randomness) increases, meaningful information disappears, like noise within a radio signal. So, again, which is more likely, hypothetical Darwinian evolution or scientifically observed devolution ?

[BiocentricUniversity]

@maxavail -- It would be wonderful if we could defy spatiotemporal logic and "think" the world into perfect happiness, one where there is zero probability of an asteroid impact, for example. But apparently that doesn't happen in this universe. Pesky gravity -- unfortunately we have to take the good with the bad.
