Geometry of Time, Axiom of Choice, and Neuro-Biological Quantum Zeno Effect

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the intersection of consciousness, quantum mechanics, and the concept of time, particularly in relation to death. It highlights the role of the Axiom of Choice in quantum measurement, suggesting that conscious observers influence outcomes, which challenges the notion of free will in a periodically repeating universe. The paper proposes that brain states can be "frozen" through monitoring, akin to the quantum Zeno effect, and predicts the existence of micro-black holes in the brain that could account for mass loss at death. This mass loss is linked to experiments measuring weight changes during dying moments. The findings remain unpublished in mainstream journals, pending further validation.

Is ther a mass loss at the time of death?

Can brain states be frozen?

Title: Geometry of Time, Axiom of Choice and Neuro-Biological Quantum Zeno Effect
Authors: Moninder Singh Modgil
Comments: 13 pages

Role of axiom of choice in quantum measurement is highlighted by suggesting that the conscious observer chooses the outcome from a mixed state. Further, in a periodically repeating universe, these outcomes must be pre-recorded within the non-physical conscious observers, which precludes free will. Free will however exists in a universe with open time, It is suggested that psychology's binding problem is connected with Cantor's original definition of set. Influence of consciousness on material outcome through quantum processes is discussed and interesting constraints derived. For example, it is predicted that quantum mechanical brain states should get frozen if monitored at sufficiently small space-time intervals - a neuro-biological version of the so called quantum zeno effect, which has been verified in domain of micro-physics. Existence of a very small micro-mini-black-hole in brain is predicted as a space-time structural interface between consciousness and brain, whose vaporization explains mass-loss reported in weighing experiments, conducting during the moments of death.

Interesting, however, since this paper has not been published in a mainstream journal, I'm locking this one. If it gets published we could move it to Mind and Brain Sciences.
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
