New Thinking • May 20, 2025 Tom Campbell, a physicist, is author of the three volume set, My Big TOE, describing a meta-theory that offers an account of the paranormal, as well as other scientific mysteries. He is also the founder of the Center for Unification of Science and Consciousness. His website is https://www.my-big-toe.com/ In this 3.5 hour video, he explains that his meta-theory is based on the absolute foundational primacy of consciousness. He points out that the larger consciousness system both creates the simulation in which we exist and interacts with it. He claims that many difficult scientific problems are resolved through this model, including the anthropic cosmological principal, tiny fluctuations observed in the speed of light, and the reality of paranormal phenomena.  00:00:00 Introduction to computer simulations 00:25:19 The goal of reducing entropy 00:44:04 The simulation is more than a metaphor 01:05:48 Paranormal phenomena & the Fermi Paradox 01:23:45 Scientific falsifiability 01:41:29 It’s all information 01:59:21 Individuated units of Consciousness 02:27:41 The importance of reaching physicists 02:45:12 Who will control artificial intelligence? 03:08:57 The importance of commitment 03:26:12 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.
