Author Description

Most scientists believe that consciousness consists of coded messages received by our sense organs and transformed by one's brain into 'symbolic' colours, sounds, smells, tastes and a sense of touch. As a result, scientists rely on measurements to describe what they believe is the 'real' universe. The author shows this idea is a big mistake; the messages received by our five senses are not symbolic, he says, and backs this view with much evidence. Colours and sounds etc. are messages from the cosmos, which is evolving in complexity at a far greater rate than we think.
