Glad to have you on Hubski. :)

I've long since toyed with the idea of a "Conservation of Consciousness Law", but still file it within the folder titled "Unknowables". A quick glance at Lanza and I find myself agreeing with the view of "some physicists" in the fourth sentence of this paragraph. It's an interesting idea though, but again, unfalsifiable. I'll still be checking out more specifics in the near future.

One of my oldest profs I've ever had would stroll into the classroom carrying only himself, pick up a piece of chalk, and say "Where was I? Ah, yes, the fine structure constant...". He would then derive many mathematical relationships and explain the conceptual implications with no assistance from any reference material whatsoever. Anyway... perhaps because he was nearing retirement and death, his personal life had turned into a metaphysical search for meaning. I would sometimes spend his office hours talking with him about metaphysics, and one thing he confided in me was his fascination with the Seth Speaks material. I have since digested much of the content, and although I am skeptical of the authenticity of any claims of ESP, I cannot deny that it was excellent food for thought. One thing particularly interesting is "Seth's" claims on the structure of the universe closely resembling modern string theory interpretations. The idea had been formulated before the Seth books were authored, but hadn't yet gained widespread attention, in addition to the "channel" (Jane Roberts) claiming that she had little scientific know-how.

Musing on metaphysics and unifying theories is definitely somewhat of a hobby of mine, but it's a saturated market, professionally.
