Novel Concepts
My forthcoming science fiction/philosophy novel Reason for Existence has some interesting concepts, even "novel" ones, no pun intended, discussed throughout the book. In future blog posts, I will discuss each in further detail. All are based either on scientific fact or a high probability of eventually being proven. The following list is not complete, but is a good starting point for discussion. The list is as follows:
1. Probability of extraterrestrial life. My earlier post on The Drake Equation is a foundation for the subject.
2. Consciousness is preeminent. Quantum Mechanics, recent animal and plant studies, religious traditions, and even communication methodologies all point to consciousness being separate from the brain and indeed a distinct, individual and indispensable part of nature.
3. The possibility of supra organizations existing as a potential ruling elite.
4. Emerging technologies that will be critical to building a lasting civilization that not only survives, but survives long enough to explore the galaxy.
5. Geopolitical instability and the prospects for nuclear and biological warfare.
