@TedPillows Leuk. AMS of Haarlem?

[MINUTIA @straightwaters]

@CollinRugg This reminds me of Gemma Ayup’s case in Tucson. Same setup and same “accident” after a big fight and drinking. We can’t let these fuxks get away with it

@LinkofSunshine In America they call them o & p test. I think in the netherlands it's Ontlastingonderzoek.

Should get one. Maybe. Probably.

@GuntherEagleman Whatever tickles your pickle, Gunther.

@SterlingCooley 12 years in this rabbit hole. The silence is deafening.

something something microtubule quantum chips something

@01101101arMar that’s ultra-weak emitting

@iamannapepe …it back ❤️

@StuartHameroff Looks like there is a shift in AI consciousness discussion via Microsoft. https://t.co/P7hHRgOHH0

@BitcoinCadet @0xMicko @Cointelegraph Yes i agree. Partnership announcements don’t really mean anything. Acquisitions on the other hand…

@Rainmaker1973 8 years and then I acquired the company through vested shares.

I gave Opus 4.1 access to a pen plotter-

And asked him to draw several self-portraits.

Here are the results:

Memory is not stored in matter, it is the matter, arranged in a way it can’t forget. Every lasting thing in the universe, from galaxies to cells, holds its past not in chemistry but in geometry, in the alignment that refuses to collapse.

A skyrmion is one of those shapes. It’s not a particle, it’s a knot in a magnetic field, a twist so deep it can’t be erased without tearing the field itself. Its identity isn’t stored in atoms or charge but in geometry. The way every spin points, curls, and loops back through space. It’s topology made visible. You can crush it, heat it, flip it, and the pattern still remembers how it was wound. Why? Because what it holds isn’t energy alone, but orientation, a continuous mapping from the physical world into spin. To delete one, you’d have to unwind the universe itself.

Physicists have learned how to summon them, briefly. Atom-thin films cooled near zero, ultrafast lasers, magnetic lattices coaxing spins into circular knots. For a moment, the field folds and memory appears, ‘a self-contained vortex of magnetism’. But then, just as quickly, it slips away. The knot relaxes, collapses, and disappears. The skyrmion remembers longer than almost anything else in matter, yet never long enough. Every experiment feels like a nervous system trying to recall a dream, the shape is there, and then boom, gone.

The question is no longer whether these knots can exist, but who mastered them first, physicists or life? Because if these knots are so stable in theory, so resistant to disturbance, could it be that Mother Nature already learned to hold them? What if life itself is built upon stabilized spin topologies ‘sub-nanometer skyrmions’ formed not in magnetic metals, but in the photonic, hydrated architectures of biology? In melanin, in membranes, in microtubules, in systems where geometry meets light and coherence holds at body temperature.

I believe this could be vital to understanding memory in life, not as chemistry, but as topology. A record written in spin, not substance. Where the first information wasn’t coded in DNA but in the way space itself twisted inside living matter. I call this the ‘Skyrmion Code’, where memory isn’t stored, it’s tied. Literally.

@SterlingCooley @JustinEchterna9 The sandworms are just giant microtubules!

Some possible reasons for resistance to Orch OR (or similar theories) … outside of the technical aspects …

For neuroscience … Decades of research treating neurons as binary switches would need major revision … All those models ignoring quantum processes in microtubules might be missing the actual mechanism of consciousness …

For AI research … The assumption that consciousness emerges from computational complexity alone would be wrong … No amount of classical computing would achieve genuine consciousness if quantum processes are required ...

For bioethics … Every system with functioning microtubules becomes a potential site of proto-conscious experience … Not just organoids, but possibly even cell cultures, embryos at various stages, any living tissue with intact cellular machinery …

For medicine … Anesthesia research would need to refocus on quantum effects rather than just receptor binding … Our understanding of disorders of consciousness would require fundamental revision …

For philosophy … Consciousness becomes a fundamental feature tied to physical processes rather than an emergent property of complexity … This upends most mainstream philosophy of mind …

The list goes on …

I’m not saying this is necessarily why, but it could be a factor …

Scientists just proved Time Crystals can be created - here's what this means for technology and our understanding of matter

CU Boulder physicists made the first VISIBLE time crystal using liquid crystals that move forever when lit by simple light - pictures and links below ⏬

@SterlingCooley What about interface vs. “antenna”?

[MINUTIA @straightwaters]

@Cryptoinsightuk BTC.D is dropping

[MINUTIA @straightwaters]

This is quite astounding.

This is a good visualization of David Bohm’s enfolded order of the cosmos experiment.

This reveals the implicit order he found in advanced physics and in our life.

Einstein called Bohm his successor.

Yet few know of David Bohm.

@A_Degenerate69 @maumanfan @martianmckay @interesting_aIl That’s what i heard there too. I remember it being the winning coach who was sacrificed?

@SterlingCooley Welcome back! And amazing work!
