Besides...the whole "universe in a black hole" is a fun idea, but easily refuted. Remember that our universe is, for all intents and purposes, a closed system. Nothing gets in, nothing gets out.
If we were in a black hole universe, I would expect to find matter/energy appearing and disappearing all the time.

the question is what happens at the event horizon?

How are 11 dmimensions measured? i dont get it i get 2d and 3d but not 11d. And i thought there were 12?
These dimensions are just places/realms for life potential to be lived out?

So could electrons be considered consciousness then? Or just PART of cnsciousness thats measurable, as consciousness isnt?
I feel this string theory blends so well with religeous ideas within Tao and buddhism, all religeons really.
I want to here more please, its midnight here but i dont care i need to know more!

No...consciousness only occurs on very large conglomerations of matter.

Would that be a rational way to look at it?
I think that until these models are refined more, it's unwise to use them as the foundation of any spiritual cosmology.
Frankly I don't understand wtf you're talking about with string theory as "sympathetic vibrational magnestism/interconnectedness/cosmic consciousness". String theory is what happens to physics when you consider strings as your fundamental unit instad of discreet points in space. As I understand it, most of the reason it gets so much positive attention despite telling us that theres 11 dimensions is because it is the first unified field theory out of which gravity arises naturally. Pretty nifty stuff, since every other model just introduces gravitation as a empirically confirmed Law. But hardly something to place all one's faith in.
Quantum mechanics brings one's true potential to the surface? Uh....
I hate to break it to you but virtually any spiritual mumbo jumbo you hear based upon quantum mechanics is a misinterpretation of the model. It's not an absolute truth, just a best approximation.

Not the details, no.
If you look at life as a whole, higher levels of consciousness tend do reside in beings with higher complexities of brain. Thus a lizard has more consciousness than a insect, a cat more than a lizard, and a human the highest of all.

highest on this planet maybe.
but doesnt that mean that everyting has its own consciousness and all is connected by this consciousness, so cosmic consciousness is everything.
i know searching for spiritual menaing in scientific speculation is impossible but its nice to have somehitng realted for all those people who take cosmic consciousness as a bunch of hippy bullshit.

Main Entry: con·scious·ness Function: noun Date: 1629
1 a: the quality or state of being aware especially of something within oneself b: the state or fact of being conscious of an external object, state, or fact c: awareness; especially : concern for some social or political cause 2: the state of being characterized by sensation, emotion, volition, and thought : mind 3: the totality of conscious states of an individual 4: the normal state of conscious life <regained consciousness> 5: the upper level of mental life of which the person is aware as contrasted with unconscious processes
I'm sorry, but saying "consciousness occurs on everything" is using a different definition of the word.

No, it doesn't. At least not with any definition of "consciousness" that I am aware of.

i think you see the definition im using, your just being pedantic, not the conventional sense of conscious, but an interconnectedness (cosmic consciousness) of everything, which i feel i know to be true, i just like trying to find sceintific theory that attempts to proove this so when i try and explain to people i can show them science is trying to proove it too, although it never probably will.
So far what i have to support my beleifs are electrons semmingly being everywhere at once & this string theory, along with simple things like the general theory of relativity.
Please tell me if you think i got osmething wrong or anything you thinki should know....

Consciousness is relative.Can your relate?
Of course the average human will think himself more conscious than the rest of earths lifeforms.ego is our trademark
If we are so aware..how can we be so blind?

If there is only one thing you learn from quantum mechanics...it is that we can not use our "feelings" to tell us anything about how the world truly works. If you do, then you will be wrong every time.
We are evolved to live and feel in the macroscopic world, the world of things like temperature, waves, rocks, and fire. Unfortunately for us (or fortunate, depending on how you look at it) none of those things exist once you get down to the scale of individual atoms and particles.

An elephant may have a larger brain than a human (and why not, it has more mass to control) but it does not have one as complex as ours.
