What we perceive as reality including matter, time, distance and space are mental "constructs" whose assigned values are probabilities along a wave function yet to be brought into existence by a conscious observer.
The universe is fine-turned for life.
Time is the process by which we reckon change in the universe.
And finally, and perhaps most controversially, beyond individual perceptions, reality has no independent existence.
Taking into account quantum weirdness, recent experiments show that neither time nor distance is what they have seemed to us in the past because a super-positioned particle can take on all logically-known (as well as illogical and unknown) routes to where it is. Plus, particles can act instantaneously at a distance, and our minds can change those routes both before and after a decision has been made about whether to follow a particular route or take on a particular form.
Until biocentrism, the hard problem of consciousness (how matter is turned into thought) was put on the back burner and treated as a "black box." But this book cracks open that black box, lays it's interior bare, and then moves it front and center, showing that "how we observe" creates "what we observe."
External reality is a process that involves consciousness because it depends critically on the reference frame of constructs created by our minds, namely, the Cartesian theater: the matrix of space and time.
Functional MRIs prove that our internal and external perceptions are but mirror images of maps created by the mind. Without them as an observer frame of reference, atomic particles, and thus matter itself, exists only as many uncollapsed worlds of probability wave functions.
Indeed, the universe as we know it, itself is simply the spaciotempral logic of the self. Its laws allow for the self because the self creates them. There is no absolute self-existing matrix of which physical events occur independent of life; nor any such thing as an inviolable distance in our universe.
It is an observer that determines the initial conditions of the universe. Five stars.
