Neuroscience Conference 8/18/23

This weekend I was grateful to participate in the conference “Does Neuroscience Need a Revolution to Understand Consciousness?” where Roger Penrose and Deepak Chopra were also presenters. The title of my 2-part talk was: “Does Light Have Speed—Or Does Light Have Density?”

What if we treat the speed of light as our baseline, like a flat trampoline mat. To one side (below the mat), as we create light that is denser than light, we also create dark energy. To the other side (above the mat), as we create light that is more diffuse than light, we also create dark matter.

I feel my relationship “to the mat” (to the speed of light) most acutely in my blood. To dip below the mat, I need vitamin K1. To rise above the mat, I need vitamin K2.

From below the mat, K1 signals to my brain that we have room to move forward; we are going to run the energy cycle (the Krebs cycle) in the forward direction, and endogenously produce energy. From above the mat, K2 signals to my brain that we are going to run Krebs in the backward direction, and endogenously produce matter. When I run Krebs in reverse, I internally manufacture oxalate, a crystal found in plants capable of photosynthesis.

If my new RBCs are too large, I can become trapped above the mat. If my new RBCs are too small, I can become trapped below the mat. From above the mat, I can only run in the backward direction. From below the mat, I can only run in the forward direction.

In cold weather, when my RBCs are too large—relative to the scale my body—they cannot enter the tiny capillaries in my fingertips (Reynaud’s). I am in menopause now, and I occasionally have a “Reynaud’s” feeling in my brain.

In a holographic universe, there may be different ways to render the same light. I can be “earth” (so to speak). Or, like an ice skater pulling in for a twirl, I can be “moon inside sun.” When I am “moon inside sun,” it is as if I am inside myself. No longer the flower, I am the fruit and the seed. The image is no longer whole; instead of wholeness, there is now a homunculus against a background—something smaller inside something larger—a kernel, and a context. To the left of time (beneath the mat), I am denser than light. To the right of time (above the mat), I am more diffuse.
