Science is incomplete. It always has been and might always be. It has been right some of the time but wrong way too much of the time. Most of the theories of the the greatest scientists of all time have been met initially with skepticism, accusations of incompetence and baffoonery, and some put in jail for herecy. There is the quintessential quest for the 'Theory of Everything' among physicists to equivicate the known science of the macro world (the world in which we live in) with the known science of the micro world of subatomic particles (Quantum Physics). Our scientific world today has not come up with any theory balancing known science with consciousness. Quantum physics suggests consciouness is important. We don't know why.
A new world theory of science seems to be needed. In this book a concept of a new world theory is presented without the math and science but rather with a thought experiment that leads to the possibility of a vast information vault harbored by the Universe (similar to the vast vault of human information we call the internet) where sleep and dreams are the access points both for reception of and transmittal of information. This access port, it is posited, is where ideas and aha moments congeal, and when pursued have lead to major breakthroughs across all human endeavors. All of us after all, are both receivers of information from the intenet (Google, Wikipedia, all websites etc.) and transmitters of information to the internet. Then from thoughts derived from dreams and our consciouness do we develop ideas to improve the human and planet condition? And do we then transmit that knowledge to the Universe's internet?
Here are some quotes from the book:
"Nourished by dreams, thoughts seem to be a power unto themselves, related to the physcial world but separate."
"The night in dreams, in the inbetween times, is like a pinball machine playing in the mind, awake and sleep intertwined, the steel metal ball of thought bouncing from one to the other stealing kernels from the Universe's collection of knowledge, springing to the awake mind testing for utility, and back again for understanding that is painfully obscure."
"Contentment is exercise toward achievement, attaining achievement, and exercise toward more."
"Everthing of the human psyche reduces to the need to provide value, and from that value achievement. Everyone must feel valued by deeds that create achivement. If not the connection is missing, the fabric's siren nothing but whistlewind."
