A Postulate on the Physical Basis of Mental Life: Special Relativity and the Brain
Abstract
A physical model of consciousness is proposed wherein the ‘mental’, as distinct and separate from its brain under structure, exists as an epiphenomenal part of it, fully explainable by the physics of special relativity and quantum mechanics. A methodology based on the “auditory rabbit” and the “cutaneous rabbit”, sound wave physics and the principles of time dilation is then outlined to either support or falsify this conclusion. Specifically, a quasi-inequality or test is created the satisfaction of which would falsify the hypothesis.
