Until we recognize the essential role of biology, our attempts to truly unify the universe will remain a train to nowhere.

Nothing has existence unless you, I, or some living creature perceives it, and how it is perceived further influences that reality. Even time itself is not exempted from biocentrism.
Robert Lanza
Image
Our science fails to recognize those special properties of life that make it fundamental to material reality. This view of the world - biocentrism - revolves around the way a subjective experience, which we call consciousness, relates to a physical process. It is a vast mystery and one that I have pursued my entire life.

Death is simply a break in our linear stream of consciousness.

We don't have time to wait for President Bush to change his mind. How many breakthroughs have been missed as a result of this policy?

I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.

So for instance it becomes clear why space and time and even the properties of matter itself depend on the observer in consciousness. In fact when you take this point of view it even explains why the laws of the universe themselves are fine tuned for the existence of life.

Religion and science look at reality differently.

In whatever form it takes, life sings because it has a song. The meaning is in the lyrics.

Our intention is not to create cloned human beings, but rather to make lifesaving therapies for a wide range of human disease conditions, including diabetes, strokes, cancer, AIDS, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.

Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift's kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.

Without consciousness, space and time are nothing.
Robert Lanza
Image
We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.
Robert Lanza

Our linear concept of time means nothing to nature.

Any universe that could have preceded consciousness only existed in a probability state.

So someday in the near future hopefully rather than having a foot or a leg amputated we'll just give you an injection of the cells and restore the blood flow. We've also created entire tubes of red blood cells from scratch in the laboratory. So there are a lot of exciting things in the pipeline.

In fact when you combine stem cell technology with the technology known as tissue engineering you can actually grow up entire organs, so as you suggest that sometime in the future you get in an auto accident and lose your kidney, we'd simply take a few skin cells and grow you up a new kidney. In fact this has already been done.

Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist.

Amazingly when you add life and consciousness to the equation you can actually explain some of the biggest puzzles of science.
