Dr. Alan Ross Huguenot has spent decades studying the mysteries of physics and human consciousness. Huguenot holds a Ph. D. in mechanical physics and has a successful career in marine engineering and has served on committees that are responsible for developing standards for ships. He studied physics and mechanical engineering at the Oregon Institute of Technology.
“I built ships using Newtonian physics,” he says. "But there is another world that cannot be cognized with the help of our five senses." He gave a talk at the IANDS 2014 conference on life after death from a scientific point of view.
Studying scientific theories related to another world, Huguenot wonders whether the consciousness of a living person or the "soul" of the dead can be in dark matter or dark energy. He gave examples showing that our consciousness is capable of influencing physical reality.
Huguenot told about the near-death experience in the 70s. During this experience, he came into contact with another world. He came to the conclusion that he is more real than ours. The interest in this topic is not just curiosity, it changed his perception.
Huguenot generalized several theories from physics, giving his interpretation of how they can be related to the existence of consciousness, independent of the brain and the existence of life after death in a different form. He noted that further research is needed to test these postulates. He also mentioned the difficulties in proving these ideas within the framework of modern scientific views.
Your consciousness can exist in a "cloud"

Huguenot stated that human consciousness can function as information that we store in the cloud. This data can be obtained using various devices - smartphone, tablet, computer.
During the near-death experience, consciousness tries to avoid an emergency, such a theory is put forward by Huguenot. We can “flip the switch and go to another computer,” he says.
“The nexus of my consciousness is in my head, but its locus - where is it really? Outside my body. Being inside and outside is an illusion."
Space does not exist, or it does not exist in the form we imagine it to be, he says, quoting Dr. John Bell, the creator of the nonlocality theorem. “It's hard to accept; we love our space,”he jokes.
Nonlocality - the ability of two objects to instantly know about the state of each other, even if they are separated by large distances. It is associated with the phenomenon of quantum entanglement: particle A and particle B interact with each other and remain connected. When particle A changes, B changes in a similar way. A and B lose their individuality and behave as one.
Bell's theorem has been tested by many scientists and has become part of quantum physics. Huguenot's idea that consciousness exists simultaneously inside and outside the human body is based on this theory, but has not yet been accepted by mainstream science.
Life after death - inside dark matter, or in other dimensions?
What scientists observe is only 4% of our universe. Dark energy and dark matter make up the remaining 96%. Scientists do not fully know what dark energy and dark matter are; their existence is known due to the effect they have on visible matter.
Huguenot says: "This unrevealed 96% of the universe provides many opportunities for the existence of life after death and consciousness."
Perhaps consciousness exists in another dimension, Huguenot suggested. String theory, widely discussed by physicists, speaks of the existence of other dimensions outside of the four-dimensional concept of the universe. According to string theory, the universe is made up of very thin vibrating strings. Strings are a projection from a space of lower dimensions, which is simpler, flatter and has no gravity.
Why ghosts can walk through walls, and so can you
Huguenot believes that the ability to penetrate into another dimension is a matter of faith. Perhaps our bodies could penetrate walls if we truly believed in this possibility.
“My whole being believes in a three-dimensional world, so I cannot walk through the wall,” he says. He mentioned some of the experiments that showed that human consciousness affects physical reality.
Light can be a wave or a particle - it all depends on you
Consciousness is capable of physically affecting matter. The famous double-slit experiment shocked scientists when it was discovered that photons (particles of light) behave differently when they are being watched and when no one is watching.
The observer is able to make photons take the shape of a particle or wave by simply measuring them. They do not have a fixed shape as previously assumed.
Particles exist as a potential, Huguenot believes, and the observer determines what form they will take, he noted that the researcher's thought has a strong influence: “If a skeptic wants to repeat the experiment conducted by a“supporter”, then he will fail. Because the result will come out the way he wants to see it, and not how that other guy saw it."
Huguenot was asked if the potential takes shape only during the act of observation, then who or what was the observer of the Big Bang. He gave a short laconic answer: "Consciousness."
Princeton experiment shows that consciousness can influence electronic devices
Experiments carried out at the Princeton University Anomaly Research Laboratory (PEAR) have shown that human consciousness can physically affect electronic devices. Over the years, PEAR scientists have conducted millions of experiments with hundreds of people.
One of the experiments was as follows. The random number generator generates bits that represent 1 or 0. The participants in the experiment mentally tried to influence the generator. If the experience showed changes in accordance with the intention of the person, this meant that the will of the person actually affects the machine.
Scientists have concluded that the human mind can have little effect on the machine. Although this influence was small, it manifested itself stably. After many experiments, the statistical power has increased. The likelihood that such results were due to chance rather than human intent is less than 1 in a billion.
