[QUOTE]Originally posted by IMAKEMONEY: [QB] All-Encompassing Explanation of Nature Puts Biology Into the Equation Mar 8, 2007 13:02:12 (ET) WORCESTER, Mass., Mar 08, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Advanced Cell Technology's (ACTC, Trade ) Vice-President of Research & Scientific Development, Robert Lanza, M.D.'s, provocative new theory that time and space do not exist as physical realities independent of humans (and animals) has been published in a feature article "A New Theory of the Universe" in the Spring issue of "The American Scholar" (see Cover story http://www.theamericanscholar.org ), one of the nation's leading literary and intellectual publications. Dr. Lanza's article is the first cogent scientific theory that explains in simple, concrete terms, step-by-step, how the universe can be the way it is. Some of the greatest thinkers of our time have had their ideas published in The American Scholar, including Albert Einstein, Stephen Jay Gould, Bertrand Russell, Carl Sagan, John Updike, Robert Frost, Margaret Mead, and Saul Bellow, among others. Dr. Lanza's new theory presents a shift in worldview with the perspective that life creates the universe instead of the other way around. This theory places biology above the other sciences in an attempt to solve one of nature's biggest puzzles, the theory of everything that other disciplines have been pursuing for the last century. Thousands of articles and books have danced around the desire to toss off the current mechanical worldview that has dominated Western culture for hundreds of years. While some imply that time and space may not in fact exist, Dr. Lanza's article diagrams for the first time, such a universe. "It's a masterpiece," said Michael Lysaght, Professor of Medical Science at Brown University and Director of Brown's Center for Biomedical Engineering. "It's truly a magnificent essay. Bob Lanza is to be congratulated for a fresh and highly erudite look at the question of how perception and consciousness shape reality and common experience. His monograph combines a deep understanding and broad insight into 20th century physics and modern biological science." "It is indeed stimulating and brings biology into the whole," said Nobel Laureate E. Donnall Thomas. "Any short statement does not do justice to such a scholarly work. Almost every society of mankind has explained the mystery of our surroundings and being by invoking a god or group of gods. Scientists work to acquire objective answers from the infinity of space or the inner machinery of the atom. Lanza proposes a biocentrist theory which ascribes the answer to the observer rather than the observed. The work is a scholarly consideration of science and philosophy that brings biology into the central role in unifying the whole." "It is genuinely an exciting piece of work," said Ronald Green Ph.D., a well-known religious studies scholar and Eunice and Julian Cohen Professor for the Study of Ethics and Human Values at Dartmouth College. "The idea that consciousness creates reality has quantum support, and also coheres with some of the things biology and neuroscience are telling us about the structures of our being. Put in a larger context, it exhibits a dramatic new Copernican reversal. Just as we now know that the sun doesn't really move but we do (we are the active agents), this new theory suggests that we are the entities that give meaning to the particular configuration of all possible outcomes we call reality." Anthony Atala, the W.H. Boyce Professor and Director of the Wake Forest University Institute for Regenerative Medicine says "Robert Lanza, a world renowned scientist who has spanned many fields from drug delivery to stem cells to preventing animal extinction, and clearly one of the most brilliant minds of our times, has done it again. 'A New Theory of the Universe' takes into account all the knowledge we have gained over the last few centuries, and correlates them to our own beings, placing in perspective our biologic limitations that have impeded our understanding of greater truths surrounding our existence and the universe around us. This new theory is certain to revolutionize our concepts of the laws of nature for centuries to come." "As an astrophysicist," said David Thompson of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, "I focus my attention on objects that are very large and very far away, ignoring the whole issue of consciousness as a critical part of the Universe. Reading Robert Lanza's work is a wake-up call to all of us that even on the grandest scale we still depend on our minds to experience reality. Issues of "quantum weirdness" do have a place in the macroscopic world. Time and space do depend on perception. We can go about our daily lives with a better awareness of an underlying biological component, thanks to Dr. Lanza." "I want to congratulate Dr. Lanza on this massive contribution to scientific thought," said William M. Caldwell, IV, Chairman and CEO of ACTC. "Putting aside the cogent and vibrant writing style, this 'new theory' is an achievement that will stimulate a whole new dimension for scientific debate and discourse. Whether stem cell research or biophysics, ACT scientists are encouraged to think outside of the box. Creative thinking is essential if we are to solve successfully the complex scientific challenges that lie ahead of us." About Advanced Cell Technology, Inc.
