Quantum Physics and Consciousness Versus the Big Bang

Article Description: The phenomena of pulsars, quasars and black holes throughout the universe emits radiant energy and matter back out into the universe, which cause the creation of star-filled galaxies. These phenomena challenge the accepted idea that one Big Bang singularity created our universe. Nicholas Ginex concludes that all things have a beginning, even our universe. He believes there is a conscious force that ultimately desires to create conscious-living entities. He further hypothesizes that this unknown force is to enable such entities to eventually understand the creation of the universe and the purpose of their existence.

Author Comment: Scientific findings in quantum physics confirm that particles throughout space have evolved to form atoms that have become the basic building blocks of matter throughout the universe. Did an infinite number of atoms form the Big Bang singularity that exploded matter to populate the universe or, was it due to atoms creating pulsars, quasars, and black holes that emit energy and matter back into the universe to form billions of star-filled galaxies? In either case, is there a purpose of the universe to cause the creation of conscious-living entities?

Quantum Physics and Consciousness Versus the Big Bang

It is evident from discoveries by quantum physicists that particles evolved into atoms. Through the force of gravity, infinite numbers of atoms coalesced to form enormous stars. We learned though the astrophysicist, Carl Sagan, that stars can become unstable or explode due to gravitational forces that cause extremely high pressures and temperatures. The gravitational forces are so immense that astronomers have found it is responsible for pulsars, quasars, and black holes to exist. These entities eventually reach a state whereby they will explode or emit matter, gases, and radiant energy back out into the universe. This is a continuous process that creates the millions of stars that develop multiple galaxies throughout the universe.

It becomes obvious that gravitational forces create such intense heat and high pressures in pulsars, quasars, and black holes that it is incomprehensible to believe that the entire universe was populated by one singularity called the Big Bang.

In a press release titled Does Consciousness Pervade the Universe? this author hypostatized that the universe began with the development of a fundamental unit that is the basic building block of all matter – the atom. Over an undetermined period of billions or trillions of years, the atom and its sub-particles appear to inherently possess a consciousness to evolve matter with a purpose to create intelligence that can reach out to understand its creation – the universe. This hypothetical idea that matter, created by atoms that determine inorganic and organic outcomes that assumes higher levels of consciousness may have some merit because we are proof as thinking products of our universe.

A Persian author, poet, philosopher, and great Islamic historian and scholar, Anwar Shaikh, wrote that consciousness is an inherent force in organic matter. Born in Gujrat, Punjab, India, Anwar lived between the years 1928 and 2006. His thoughts on consciousness and quantum physics compliments this author’s idea about the beginning of the universe, namely, “Everything has a beginning, even the cosmic universe”. But does consciousness have an ultimate goal in the creation of life-forms to serve a purpose?

Anwar rationally wrote, “Since consciousness means cognition or knowing, there must be something worth knowing. Therefore, eyes have a multiple purpose; firstly, to play a definite role in the evolution of consciousness, and secondly, to know the world around us. From this conclusion, it also follows that the world or cosmos has a purpose: it wants to be known; it aspires to be conscious of itself. This seems to be the entire purpose of consciousness. Since man is the cosmic baby, he happens to be the medium for the universal consciousness.” These perceptive thoughts by Anwar Shaikh were transcribed from his fourth book, Chapter 12, titled Mind and Matter, Cosmic Purpose. It may be viewed via the link:

Anwar Shaikh is to be applauded for his philosophical conclusion because he has delved into the science of quantum physics that reveal fundamental particles evolved the atom, the building block of inorganic and organic matter. A perceptive philosopher, he has presented another aspect of consciousness. He wrote, “If we delve deeper into consciousness, it transpires that it is the apex of evolution. Without it, existence or non-existence of the universe will not matter. A thing may exist but it is the knowledge of its existence which gives it a proper valuation. The universe obviously wants to be recognized, otherwise consciousness will have no meaning because whatever man sees, feels, senses or perceives relates to the universe; man himself is a part of it. Therefore, human consciousness belongs to the universe. More properly, the cosmos evolves man for the sole purpose of seeing, feeling, sensing and perceiving through him. Thus, man ranks as the cosmic baby with a special purpose. What is this purpose of man?”

This author attempts to answer Anwar’s question with a philosophic imperative, a command given to us by a man of God – love one another. It is through love that mankind will be able to reach the highest levels of integrity and truth that enables mankind to make sound decisions. It is a command that has evolved with the highest regard for truth as illustrated by the Figure herein of Isis presenting the symbol of Truth to Nefertari. This attribute was conceived by the ancient Egyptians and presented in the book, Future of God Amen. A free read of this book is available via the link:

Truth depends on the ability to love one another, to listen with objective reasoning that sustains a compatible relationship with others. It is this attribute that is inherent in consciousness; for it instills a reproductive desire in all organic life forms to promote their existence. Can love for one another be the evolutionary purpose of Consciousness? To attain the apex of development that is the crown of being, consciousness may have as its purpose the ability for intelligent organisms to love all life throughout the universe.

This apex or purpose of consciousness is challenged today by a religious ideology that has, since its inception, caused bigotry, hatred, violence, and the killing of people. In the Qur’an, verse 9:33, the belief that Islam is the Religion of Truth and that Allah may make it prevail over every other religion has caused armies of Muslim fundamentalists to destroy many civilizations in efforts to subjugate people to follow Islam. People around the world need to be conscious of this regressive ideology. They need to come together to educate misguided Muslims by revealing that the Qur’an needs to be revised by advocating the greatest command given to man – love one another. Why and how people around the world can assist Muslims to develop the consciousness to love one another by revising the Qur’an is presented in an article titled, Worldwide Communication Will Expose the Quran. It is available on the Internet with an Internet search on the title.

In closing, the purpose of man is the will of Consciousness to propagate with the beautiful attribute of love inherent in all living entities; it is enjoyed in the reproductive ability of all organic life. It is based upon on the greatest philosophical imperative of all – love one another. By doing so, mankind may exist long enough to someday find there are other living entities in the universe that have also learned to exist and survive by acknowledging the attribute of Consciousness – love.

Nicholas Ginex – Perceptive Writer of Our Time

The above title appeared as a Press Release on March 21, 2017 and was my attempt to reach out and enlighten people with perceptive thoughts on religion, philosophy, God, the universe and politics.  Knowing there are thousands of books on these subjects and that an up-coming author like myself is unknown to the world, I was compelled to forget about being humble and include my name in the article.  The link is:

http://www.einpresswire.com/article/371649454/nicholas-ginex-perceptive-writer-of-our-time

To gain the reader’s interest, the Press Release quickly introduces a scholarly paper that was published by the Chute Institute, titled Provide History of Religion and God.  It was placed on an Internet on-line library by the Education Research and Information Center (ERIC), which is sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education.

I encourage all people who have had thoughts about how a universal God was conceived and how religions developed in many communities and regions around the world to read the scholarly paper and visit the website Future of God Amen.

It introduces you to overviews and reviews of several books that deal with the evolution of religion and one-universal God, the presidency of Barack Obama, and why people around the world need to join together to successfully accomplish an Islamic Reformation.

On the renowned Iran Politics Club website you will be able to select many of my articles and gain access to some of my books available as a FREE READ.

Thank you.

It is my hope that you find my written works of sufficient value to introduce them to your friends.  By circulating ideas and information that offer meaning and direction in our lives we gain the ability to make wise decisions and improve our lives.

I am humbly yours,

Nicholas Ginex

Does Consciousness Pervade the Universe?

A novel idea has emerged which I would like our readers to share their thoughts.  Consider the hypothetical idea that the unique positive and negative energy forces of an atom, which can coalesce into inorganic and organic matter, may have an inherent consciousness that tries to reveal itself.  Ultimately, we, as thinking human beings, may be the product of that source of consciousness. We are part of the “stuff” that makes up the universe, and we are trying to understand our beginnings that could be due to the inherent forces of the atom that surfaces as consciousness. This hypothetical idea that matter, created by atoms that determine inorganic and organic outcomes, can assume consciousness may have some merit because we are proof as thinking products of our universe.

Another hypothetical idea that has surfaced is that our first awareness (consciousness) starts before conception through a transformation of energy into conscious awareness at birth.  However, a question surfaces as to why only at birth of an organic form would consciousness come into play?  I believe that the internal forces of the atom with its own negative, positive and neutral properties, creates matter based upon its surrounding environment.  Whether or not that matter is inorganic or organic will depend on the surrounding elements of heat, moisture, and an atmosphere conducive to life.  Hence, for our earthly life forms (organic matter) to exist, the aggregate mix of atoms preordain with conditions that support life, the formation of different kinds of life forms.

Stated with earthly terms, plant and vegetable organic life begins first based upon inorganic matter (earth and minerals), heat, and moisture and it produces a byproduct (air) that sustains life.  Organic forms of life that become mobile, such as the fly, a bird, fish, and animals are a consequence of the environment and it all began with the mix of atoms that produced inorganic and organic matter.  So I hypothesize that the atom has forces that somehow takes advantage of its surroundings and gives birth to inorganic and organic matter.  To me, it appears that such forces within the atom have an intelligence or a consciousness that tries to express itself in many ways.  It is this consciousness that reaches its height in human beings to think and reach out with hypothetical thoughts to try to understand its own existence.  And that is why I believe that the transformation of energy is a long, involved process whereby it transforms itself into matter that tries to express its inherent will to exist as consciousness.

Perhaps, that may be why gifted people have developed the idea of a soul because it is an extension on one’s being with the hope that its soul will continue to exist even after death.  Is this due to the internal energy of the atom that initiates the will for survival?  It appears that forces within the atom, from its very beginning, fights to express itself in matter.  So I offer you the idea that the energy or forces inherent in the atom has a consciousness that seeks to find expression in the life forms it finally creates.  The question becomes what is this force or energy?  Where did its positive, negative, and neutral forces come from?

What gave this energy the will to exist as conscious entities that are very likely to appear in other parts of our universe?  Are all life forms in other parts of the universe made of the same “stuff” that we humans are made of?  I tend to believe “yes.”  The life forms on other planets may assume different shapes, colors, and organic functions that enable it to exist but they are all part of the energy that originated within the atom.

One last matter that needs to be addressed and that is can the internal forces of an atom be attributable to “God.”  I do not know because I have no valid conception of God.  To me, God is mysterious, incomprehensible, and unknowable.  However, I use the term God because it introduces a concept of the consciousness that many people feel within themselves, which is the ability to love.  The energy or force of the atom has given life forms the will to survive and therefore the desire to love and reproduce itself for that is what the atom has tried to do from its own inception.

So the next question I offer is if you give this unknown force a name, such as God, why not put it to good use?  That is, why not sublimate our conception of the unknown force into idealistic forms of moral behavior that allows people from different countries and of different races, to love and accept one another as sisters and brothers?  This use of the unknown force is not a bad idea.  The alternative is to say we are exceptionally bright and since we understand the unknown force, just except it, and let’s live without any need for a moral code of behavior because we can control our lives without anybody telling us what we should or should not do.  This attitude I cannot agree with because it negates the wisdom we have gained in the past through experience of what makes a harmonious society.  My concept of God does not assume any preexisting definitions of God and therefore does not present any myths or images because as I had stated before, as with the internal forces of the atom, God is mysterious, incomprehensible, and unknowable.  The idea of God becomes a sublimation of our finest thoughts as to what mankind can aspire to in terms of integrity and love for one another.

Men have always wondered about how did life begin and if there is a God that created all there is? The Egyptians developed the greatest civilization with a belief in a creator god. After thousands of years, the Priesthood of Amon wrote the first documented scripture (a belief) titled, Amon As the Sole God during the reign of Ramses II. Readers who thirst for knowledge of how the concept of a soul developed, a Hereafter, a Son of God, and how the belief in one-universal God was established, they may access the book titled AMEN, The Beginning of the Creation of God on http://www.futureofgodamen.com.

Do you agree with the hypothetical idea that the atom, after many transformations from inorganic to organic matter, strives to achieve a consciousness to express itself by ultimately producing life forms with the ability to think? Is it possible that this consciousness pervades the universe and somehow embodies the essence of God?
