BOOK REVIEW
The Grand Biocentric Design: How Life Creates Reality
by Robert Lanza, Matej Pavsic, & Bob Berman 2020
About the Authors
Robert Lanza, MD is head of Astellas Global Regenerative Medicine, Chief Scientific Officer of the Astellas Institute for Regenerative Medicine, and adjunct professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He was recognized by TIME magazine in 2014 on its list of the “100 Most Influential People in the World.”
Matej Pavšic is a physicist interested in foundations of theoretical physics. During his more than 40 years of research at the Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia, he often investigated the subjects that were not currently of wide interest, but later became hot topics. For example, in the 70s he studied higher dimensional, Kaluza-Klein theories, and in the 80s he proposed an early version of the braneworld scenario that was published, among others, in Classical and Quantum Gravity. Altogether, Pavsic has published more than one hundred scientific papers and the book The Landscape of Theoretical Physics: A Global View.
Bob Berman is the longtime science editor of the Old Farmer’s Almanac, and contributing editor of Astronomy magazine, formerly with Discover from 1989 to 2006. He taught physics and astronomy at New York’s Marymount College in the 1990s and is the author of eight popular books. His newest is Zoom: How Everything Moves.
About the Book
“For those addicted to exploring our role as observers in defining our universe, here is your long-awaited major update . . . You’ll love The Grand Biocentric Design―it adds new turf to the physics of making universes, and includes “solid evidence” at last, that observers define the structure of physical reality itself.” ―George Church, Robert Winthrop Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, Professor of Health Sciences& Technology at Harvard & MIT, and member of the National Academy of Sciences & the National Academy of Engineering (on Thomson Reuters short-list for the Nobel Prize)
.
“The Grand Biocentric Design brilliantly draws our attention to the most important feature of the entire universe: our human minds . . . This new book brings out the real nature of our universe: for all of us to deeply search for fuller understanding & for meaning.” ―Richard Conn Henry, Academy Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University, and former Deputy Director of NASA’s Astrophysics Division
.
“For those searching for answers to contemporary physics’ disturbing findings, The Grand Biocentric Design is must-reading.” ―Ronald M. Green, Eunice & Julian Cohen Professor Emeritus for the Study of Ethics & Human Values atDartmouth College
.
“In The Grand Biocentric Design, his third and best book on the topic, Lanza and colleagues unpack, with unprecedented rigor, his theory of biocentrism through the hard lens of physics . . . If you consider biocentrism mere philosophy, look to this volume to make the case thatscience is at its core.” ―Pamela Weintraub, Senior Editor at Aeon, former Executive Editor of Discover magazine & Editor-in-Chief of OMNI magazine
What if life isn’t just a part of the universe . . . what if it determines the very structure of the universe itself?
The theory that blew your mind in Biocentrism and Beyond Biocentrism is back, with brand-new research revealing the startling truth about our existence.
What is consciousness? Why are we here? Where did it all come from—the laws of nature, the stars, the universe? Humans have been asking these questions forever, but science hasn’t succeeded in providing many answers—until now. In The Grand Biocentric Design, Robert Lanza, one of Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People,” is joined by theoretical physicist Matej Pavšic and astronomer Bob Berman to shed light on the big picture that has long eluded philosophers and scientists alike.
This engaging, mind-stretching exposition of how the history of physics has led us to Biocentrism—the idea that life creates reality-takes readers on a step-by-step adventure into the great science breakthroughs of the past centuries, from Newton to the weirdness of quantum theory, culminating in recent revelations that will challenge everything you think you know about our role in the universe.
This book offers the most complete explanation of the science behind Biocentrism to date, delving into the origins of the memorable principles introduced in previous books in this series, as well as introducing new principles that complete the theory. The authors dive deep into topics including consciousness, time, and the evidence that our observations-or even knowledge in our minds-can affect how physical objects behave.
The Grand Biocentric Design is a one-of-a-kind, groundbreaking explanation of how the universe works, and an exploration of the science behind the astounding fact that time, space, and reality itself, all ultimately depend upon us.
