A MIND/BRAIN/MATTER MODEL CONSISTENT WITH QUANTUM PHYSICS AND
UFO PHENOMENA Thomas E. Bearden, MS, Nuclear Engineering·
With special drawings by Hal Crawford
In this paper we introduce a model of mind and matter and their interaction that
is consistent with the antire experimental basis of physics, and which offers mechanisms
for paranormal phenomena of all types, including UFO phenomena. The model is speculative
since certain conclusions drawn by the author from quantum mechanics and other sources
are not generally held by most scientists. Certain conclusions are reaf!l-o·~j by a new
fourth law of logic advanced by the author and not yet generally acce;.ted by the scientific
community at large. I Some principles necessary to understanding .&!C model are as follows:
Principles
1. A detector detects only internal changes. A triode, e.g.¥ detect;:; only a change on
its grid; specifically, it knows nothing of any changes in the "external" circuit. Similarly,
our minds detect only their own internal changes; "rnindstuff" (in the sense of changes) is
all anyone ever experiences. An instrument also detects only its I)Wn internal change.
2. All measurement is spatial ultimately. Instruments are made of rna ss, and mass is a
spatial (t3) thing. Mass thus can only detect its own changes -- specifically, mass can
be expressed dimensionally as ~A)T (t3T) ~ t3. Since mass is a time derivative of
t3T spacetime, then that is what it~. Z Mass may be said t;t'tme differentiate t3T
spacetime, yielding a spatial detection and destroying time in the process. For this reason,
time is not an observable in quantum mec:hanics: time is never measurad or detected, but
onJ.y inferred from spatial measurement. Mind, which occupies time, is also lost in detection.
3. Observed/detected reality is only a partial reality. Observable changes occur in discrete
bits of action (in quanta). The action quantum is not detectable: or 1y pieces (derivatives)
of quanta are detected. Quantum fragments occur in canonical pairs. but detection is totally
monocular. If one of the two canonical entities is totally determined, the other is totally
undetermined (undetected).
4. Quantum change occurs monocularly-- one change at a time. Furtl er, quanta do not
superpose: at any one instant of time, the only thing which "exists" rx. ncretely is a single
quantum change in progress. Length, time, energy, momentum, etc. are created and
destroyed in h.dividual bits (differentials of :.t quantum). The macroscopic world is like
the picture on a TV tube: at any one instant of time, only a single "dot'' is illuminated
:1r exists. Rigorously, the onlv "place" the so-called physical world e:>~ists is in the
rr.inds (memory recall) of the living observers.
5 ••·Mind is objective, not subjective. Physics declares (assume!:>~ time to be objective, for
then: is no objective physics left if it isn't. RelatiV:.ty treats time t4S a dimension, compacted
by the ratio/factor c (where c is the velocity of light in vacuum). At t"e same time that
~,hysical phenomena are occurring, mental phenomena are occurring in the mind of an observer.
~hus mind (mental phenomena) occupy one objective dimension, time. Mind 1s therefore
objective, not subjective.
6. The ,nind is lost in_ the physical detection process. Since mind occupies only a single
objective dimension in c0mmon with physical phenomena, and since that dimension (time)
is destroyed in the process of detection, we do not see our minds and rr.ental phen0rr.sna,
and our physical instrurn,mts do not detect them.
