CHAPTER

Rethinking Consciousness through Physics

This chapter investigates innovative concepts in physics that propose a framework for understanding consciousness beyond traditional models.

The discussion also connects the dynamics of consciousness with the structure of protons, potentially bridging ideas from particle physics and consciousness studies.
