Quantum theory has proven to be one of the most fruitful scientific theories in that it has indisputably resulted in technology that has helped build modern life. This is because, at its core, quantum mechanics is about the rules governing how atoms behave, interact with each other and interact with light. Concrete devices (transistors and semiconductors, which are at the base of telecommunication and computing technology), applications (GPS, MRI, and laser) and disciplines (chemistry) have emerged from an understanding of quantum mechanics.

Therefore, it is easy to continue to jump on the bandwagon when the next breakthrough quantum-based application—quantum computers—is projected as imminent and to believe that the basis of such computers—probabilistic dynamism, superposition, entanglement—must be true. After all, hasn’t quantum technology already proven itself without a doubt?

But, it is such thinking that is creating a massive bubble that continues to increase in size, and it is only by asking deeper and deeper questions—beyond what is considered to be right or wrong—that the quantum computing industry can be successfully redirected and reverse the dissipation of billions of dollars when the bubble bursts.

I will be leading a dialog in partnership with Forbes Technology Council to begin the process of redirection.

The Dawn of Flame-Beings is built on the ten-book Cosmology of Light series.

This original series was based on a simple exploration: why does light travel at the constant speed of c — 186,000 miles per second — in vacuum? This exploration led to the consideration of the intentionality of c, and to the consideration of light existing at other constant speeds ranging from infinity to zero. Each constant speed of light was imagined creating a distinct world or layer in which space, time, materialization, and other dynamics were uniquely emergent and operated differently. The interaction of five layers of light existing at different constant speeds was then mathematically modeled to explain all the past, diversity, possibility, and future of known material life.

In the course of the mathematical modeling many unique beings and becomings were glimpsed — a mysterious creator with an eye that flashed light, a contrary beginning manifest as a dark bosom, titans, pralayas, world-embryos, a macro space-time-energy-gravity fourfoldness and its micro-counterpart the ever-present priest, battles between original darkness and forever emerging light, powerful meta and multi-function feminine and masculine aspects of the mysterious creator embodied as a She and a He, the earth as the place of an extraordinary courtship between them, the end of death, the birth of flame-beings, the growth and spreading of earth’s cosmic tree of light supplanting an original tree of life, the growth of flame-beings to far exceed their human origins in extraordinary ways, the seeding of new flame-being star-clusters, the changing of typal into evolutionary worlds, the birth of new quantum particles, new atoms, new molecular plans allowing Love to materially reveal more of its fullness, the glorious reign of matter one with spirit, the changing of cosmos, the continuous and fuller births of that original mystery manifesting in an unending display of splendor.

In other words, a full mythology was glimpsed in the cosmology of light, and in The Dawn of Flame-Beings abstract and impersonal mathematical and scientific concepts have been personified to begin to materialize powers and forces and entities integral to the history and future of the earth and cosmos.
