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 The findings remain unpublished in mainstream journals, pending further validation.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.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
