A new theory by Michael Pravica, a professor of physics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, suggests that human consciousness might originate from hidden dimensions of the universe rather than solely from brain activity. Pravica claims that during moments of heightened awareness鈥攍ike making art, practicing science, or even dreaming鈥攐ur consciousness could transcend the limitations of our physical dimension and tap into these invisible realms.a
Scientists have never been able to explain the origin of consciousness. Where does it come from? What is its origin point in the human body? Now an expert has suggested that consciousness might not be a part of our three-dimensional world and likely comes from a hidden dimension.
When we think creatively or have 鈥淓ureka鈥 moments, we may actually unlock access to a dimension outside of our everyday perception, according to the controversial theory.
A baffling new theory to explain human consciousness has suggested it comes from hidden dimensions and is not just brain activity. A physicist claimed that we plug in to these invisible planes of the universe when making art, practicing science, pondering philosophy or dreaming, and this could explain the phenomenon that has evaded scientific understanding for centuries.

The U.S. National Science Foundation has invested over $2.1 million in eight projects through the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NSF EPSCoR). This investment, in collaboration with NASA, aims to strengthen research infrastructure, advance science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent development at six institutions in five U.S. states, and develop the next generation of leaders in STEM.
The monsoon season and the rain it usually produces has been abnormally dry this summer in Las Vegas. The season, which runs from June through mid-September, has dropped just 0.08 inches of rain here, according to the National Weather Service.
Milky Way鈥檚 supermassive black hole has a mysterious past, and scientists have found some evidence to explain its behaviour. The supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, is located 26,000 light-years away from Earth in the center of our galaxy.
While digging for garden soil, a Las Vegas farmer was shocked to find mammoth teeth, but now the rest of his discoveries are expected to cause a controversy as it may change 12,000 years of history. During a Protectors of Tule Springs meeting Tuesday night, Dr. Steve Rowland, a 黑料网 geoscience professor and paleontologist, helped present newly analyzed findings from a 30-year-old archeological dig field report from the Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary.
Large galaxies like ours are hosts to Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs.) They can be so massive that they resist comprehension, with some of them having billions of times more mass than the Sun. Ours, named Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), is a little more modest at about four million solar masses.
Astronomers studying the Milky Way's supermassive black hole have found "compelling evidence" that could finally help explain its mysterious past. Located 26,000 light-years away in the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A* is a gargantuan tear in space-time that is 4 million times the mass of our sun and 14.6 million miles (23.5 million kilometers) wide.
The mystery of how supermassive black holes, which can be millions of times more massive than the sun and sit at the heart of most galaxies, came to exist is one of the great questions in astrophysics.
