Consciousness - Dark Energy

Arguably, for science to progress in a way that allows scientists to tackle the complex problems that are the reality these days, researchers need to transcend ordinary understanding. Thus, scientific understanding comes through a melding of different explanations from many disciplines. Individuals who transcend the ordinary understand many different things, not just one, implying something has to be added into the equation for scientific discovery to move forward. The mind as a fundamental entity without beginning or end with infinite potential is not entirely conceivable. Nevertheless, through infinite potential existing, the mind causes change to occur as the potential energies: dark energy, dark matter, and normal matter. These are potential energies because of their relationship to the mind. Arguably, the mind can be explained in part by an abstract idea, the law of conservation of energy: the mind cannot be created or destroyed, but potential energies convert or transform from one form into another. Potential energies are change. Though the mind does not change when it manifests its infinite potential, as a consequence, change occurs. When potential energies convert or transform from one form into another, dynamic differences occur through interdependent relationships. Consciousness exists through these interdependent relationships. The definition of the term consciousness has several meanings. In biomedical science, the terms 'conscious state' or 'waking state' mean the state of waking consciousness with subjectivity (e.g., responsiveness to questions, commands, and mild pain, by the classical scalp EEG of waking, and by the ability to describe oneself and current events). As an experimental variable, consciousness refers to the dimension of consciousness versus unconscious brain events in a way that allows the study of brain differences attributable to consciousness. This definition involves a measurable dimension of variation and differs but correlates with the first definition (i.e., waking state). Consciousness is a concept that is synonymous with the Universe concept; but the terms are somewhat different qualitatively.

Quantum mechanics developed at the beginning of the twentieth century undermined the nineteenth-century classical argument of science that objects had an intrinsic existence governed by well-determined cause and effect. The orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics called the Copenhagen interpretation put forth by Niels Bohr and many others at the beginning of the 20th century argued that physical quantities only ‘come into existence upon measurement’. This science that considers the observer as an integral part of the physical situation seems to be in harmony with Eastern thought. This melds well with the religions and philosophy (e.g., Buddhism) that emerged in the world of appearances roughly 2,500 years ago. Accordingly, phenomena lack any autonomous or permanent existence, and ‘emptiness’ is the ultimate nature. The term ‘emptiness’ is not a void or absence of phenomena nor a form of nihilism or the belief in nothingness, nor does it correspond to nonexistence. Emptiness refers to understanding the existence, or nonexistence, of so-called indivisible particles of matter and phenomena as essential unreality. With regards to awareness, there is a difference in interpretation. The eastern approach is only quantitative and where the subject/object separation is at least in part an illusion of an individual’s senses as opposed to a qualitative difference in western thought.
