We don't have time to wait for President Bush to change his mind. How many breakthroughs have been missed as a result of this policy?

Space and time, not proteins and neurons, hold the answer to the problem of consciousness. When we consider the nerve impulses entering the brain, we realize that they are not woven together automatically, any more than the information is inside a computer.

Reality is observer-determined - it's a spatio-temporal process, which fortunately means that things must change.

I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.

In whatever form it takes, life sings because it has a song. The meaning is in the lyrics.

The universe bursts into existence from life, not the other way around as we have been taught. For each life there is a universe, its own universe. We generate spheres of reality, individual bubbles of existence. Our planet is comprised of billions of spheres of reality, generated by each individual human and perhaps even by each animal.

Sometime in the future, science will be able to create realities that we can't even begin to imagine. As we evolve, we'll be able to construct other information systems that correspond to other realities, universes based on logic completely different from ours and not based on space and time.
