"Space-Time Wormholes, and the Brain - John Hagelin"
John Hagelin (Phd. Physics) will tell us about an extraordinary breakthrough from String theory that explains the “spooky action-at-a-distance” nature of quantum entanglement, and ties this long-distance phenomenon directly to space-time wormholes—tunnels through space. As well as cutting-edge evidence that consciousness originates deep within the physical realm—in quantum gravity and superstring theory (unified field theory). Some scientists (e.g., Penrose) have made the radical proposal that consciousness originates from Planck-scale mechanisms rooted in quantum gravity. We explicitly confirm this hypothesis using remarkable new findings from String theory and M-theory—“Holographic Duality.” Hagelin will also show how these core, Planck-scale mechanics of consciousness relate to brain-scale cognitive functioning—i.e., how Consciousness enters the brain.

Director Jeffrey Brown is an Academy, Emmy and Peabody Award winner. His feature film directing debut SOLD is the winner of five audience awards and two jury awards film, SOLD is an adaptation of the best selling novel SOLD by Patricia McCormick.
