There’s a growing body of evidence that suggests that the structure of our universe is not as cold and mechanistic as science once thought it was: Many scientists have begun to question whether this reality is an artificial product, with its physical laws directed by some underlying intelligence, an intelligence that possibly even has an artificial nature itself. Recently, a scientist with Columbia University has gone a step further, and is postulating that previous extraterrestrial civilizations may have integrated themselves into the very structure of the universe — making reality itself intelligent in the process.

Despite the progress made by modern science over the past few centuries, one of the biggest questions that has been on the mind of man since time immemorial, and yet remaining perhaps the most elusive, is that of the nature of consciousness: we know it exists, but we have no real way to measure, quantify, or even define it. On top of this, science can’t even definitively determine where it comes from, or even why it exists to begin with. And now a prominent physicist, renowned for his work in the field of string theory, feels this scientific mystery may remain permanent.

When she awoke from her coma after suffering a brain aneurysm, Anne Strieber received a series of powerful messages, one of them being “God is a mathematical formula,” and explains the concept as "a kind of living probability theory" in her novel on her near death experience, Miraculous Journey. And it would also appear that CUNY theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku has come to the same conclusion, which he outlines in his Big Think video blog titled Math is the Mind of God.read more

Renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has stated a warning to humankind: , in light of all of the potential events that could spell the extinction of the human species, we must find a way to migrate into space. Citing numerous potential extinction events that could occur over the next few thousand years, both environmental and man-made, Hawking believes that it is too risky to have mankind’s fate depend solely on the health of a single planet.
