18. EINSTEIN & TOP PHYSICISTS: CONSCIOUSNESS IS FUNDAMENTAL

THE SECRET EINSTEIN FILES ARE REVEALED:
Einstein’s true legacy is his ground-breaking discovery that simple, beautiful, and purely mathematical LOCAL SYMMETRY is Nature’s (the cosmos’s) primary feature. Understanding central properties of Local Symmetry can also help us to see why leading physicists point out that consciousness is fundamental. This highlights why understanding Nature’s core principle of Local Symmetry is so important for each human being – and hence humanity as a whole – with respect to building a positive future for all: people and planet. #alberteinstein #localsymmetry #big bang #bit #information #physics #sun #space #time #creativity #consciousness #source #intelligence #science #art #energy #cosmos #mathematics #nature #balance #simplicity #elegance #harmony #humanity #code #design

Why understanding Local Symmetry is super important:

“Based on our experiences so far, we have reason to be confident that nature is the realization of the simplest conceivable mathematical idea.”
Albert Einstein
(On the Method of Theoretical Physics, 10 June 1933, Author translation)

“Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe—a spirit vastly superior to that of man ...”
Albert Einstein
(Albert Einstein’s Letter to Phyllis, 1936)

“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”
Max Planck
(Interview in The Observer; 25 January 1931, p.17, column 3)

“…multiplicity is only apparent, in truth, there is only one mind.”
Erwin Schrödinger
(What is Life? with Mind & Matter, 1967 p.129)

“…mind is always now...”
Erwin Schrödinger
(as quoted in: “Quantum Questions”, edited by Ken Wilber, 2001, p.89)

“…consciousness is a singular of which the plural is unknown; that there is only one thing...”
Erwin Schrödinger
(as quoted in: “Quantum Questions”, edited by Ken Wilber, 2001, p.94)

“…the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears as an accidental intruder into the realm of matter (…) we ought rather to hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter.”
James Jeans
(The Mysterious Universe, 2023, p.187)

“…the universe can be best pictured (…) as consisting of pure thought, the thought of (…) a mathematical thinker.”
James Jeans
(The Mysterious Universe, 2023, p.124)

“Philosophy is written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes–I mean the universe –but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols, in which it is written. This book is written in the mathematical language…”
Galileo Galilei, 1623
(The Assayer, 1623, as translated by Thomas Salusbury in 1661, p. 178)

“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and domination of an intelligent and powerful Being...”
Isaac Newton
(as quoted in: “Newton’s Gift” by Daniel Berlinski, 1998, p.172)

“the very study of the external world led to the conclusion that the content of the consciousness …is an ultimate reality.”
Eugene Wigner
(Symmetries and Reflections, 1967, p.172)

In his paper UNIVERSE, LIFE, CONSCIOUSNESS Andrei Linde asks three essential questions (see section 9 “Quantum Cosmology and the Nature of Consciousness”, Page 11):
• “Is it not possible that consciousness, like space-time, has its own intrinsic degrees of freedom, and that neglecting these will lead to a description of the universe that is fundamentally incomplete?
• Will it not turn out, with the further development of science, that the study of the universe and the study of consciousness will be inseparably linked, and that ultimate progress in the one will be impossible without progress in the other?
• After the development of a unified geometrical description of the weak, strong, electromagnetic, and gravitational interactions, will the next important step not be the development of a unified approach to our entire world, including the world of consciousness?”

“…local symmetry dictates what you must do, every step of the way.”
Frank Wilczek
(The Lightness of Being, 2010, p.72)

“The perspectives offered by symmetry (…) It is imperative that we try to give the nonscientific members of society, who, through democratic processes, make the final decisions, a better understanding of the key issues. In fact, our future depends upon it.”
Leon M. Lederman & Christopher T. Hill
(Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe, 2004, pp.24-25)
