The Conscious Rising

What if every thought, file, and byte of data carries weight?In this solo episode of The Conscious Rising, Sean Lee-Davies explores a groundbreaking scientific theory that could reshape everything we know about the universe - that information itself might be the fifth state of matter.Building on the work of British physicist Dr. Melvin Vopson, this episode breaks down how data and consciousness could have physical mass - and how that might explain one of the universe’s greatest mysteries: dark matter.From the mathematics behind digital weight to the implications for simulation theory and the “information catastrophe,” Sean connects cutting-edge physics with the deeper spiritual question - what happens when consciousness and code are one and the same?Expect insights on:🧠 Information as a physical force - how every bit of data might literally add weight to the universe⚛️ The Fifth State of Matter - what it means for physics, energy, and dark matter💽 The Information Catastrophe - why our digital world could soon exceed the planet’s energy resources🌌 The Simulation Hypothesis - gravity as the universe’s “operating system”🧘 Consciousness as Mass - how awareness could be a measurable physical phenomenon💡 Bridging Science and Spirituality - why information may be the key to uniting bothBecause if every thought, word, and byte truly has mass - then everything we create adds weight to the cosmos itself.---Timestamps:00:00 – Does data have weight?00:14 – The Fifth State of Matter explained00:45 – How Dr. Melvin Vopson’s experiment works01:20 – The math behind information mass02:30 – Humanity’s growing data problem03:10 – The coming “Information Catastrophe”03:45 – Could information explain dark matter?04:20 – The universe as an operating system04:55 – Consciousness and information as one05:30 – The convergence of science and spirituality06:00 – What this means for how we live and create---Follow Sean Lee-Davies:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/seanleedaviesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@seanleedaviesYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Sean-Lee-DaviesFollow The Conscious Rising:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_theconsciousrisingYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheConsciousRisingpodWebsite - https://theconsciousrising.com
