The Tao of Cosmos

Explores the interplay between ancient wisdom and modern cosmology
Is the universe inert and empty space, or is it some way responsive to consciousness? Breathing new life into a question that has perplexed philosophers since ancient times and scientists for the last century, physicist Zhen G. Ma, Ph.D., offers a quantitative “theory of everything” that beautifully integrates ancient I Ching philosophy, Eastern Taoism, modern cosmology, and the quantum brain dynamics of consciousness.
Sharing insights from his years of research on space physics and black-hole spacetime at institutions in China, Canada, and the US, complemented by studies in quantum brain dynamics and cosmological powers with Brian Swimme at the California Institute of Integral Studies, Dr. Ma explains how his integrated theory draws primarily on two key paradigms in the philosophy of cosmology and consciousness: Swimme’s cosmic creation story of the universe as a green dragon and Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff’s cosmic consciousness playing an intrinsic role in the universe.
Extending these theories further, Dr. Ma shows how they harmonize not only with the ancient Eastern philosophy of Heaven-Humanity Oneness, but also with a holographic cosmic principle that connects the quantum-plasma brain with the universe and the Earth with Heaven. He then looks at this holographic unity in the cyclic process of birth, growth, decay, and death and shows how it resonates with Einstein-Friedmann’s cosmological dynamics and Hawking-Penrose’s quantum gravity model.
Demonstrating a quantitative paradigm of everything, Dr. Ma shows how humanity is inextricably and holistically blended into the cosmic fabric of the universe.
Zhen G. Ma, Ph.D., is a space and black-hole scientist whose ongoing research involves the quantum-plasma mechanisms of cosmic consciousness at the dying stage of the human brain. He was formerly an associate research professor at the National Astronomical Observatory and the National Space Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, an NSERC visiting fellow at the Canadian Space Agency, and a senior research fellow on a NASA-JPL project at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He is currently a visiting professor in Canada, living in Montreal.
