Part 7/9:
The implications of panpsychism extend beyond the microscopic scale. The work of physicist and former NASA consultant Gregory Matloff points to potential tests for cosmic consciousness. His observations on star behaviors hint at possible consciousness influencing stellar movement. The prospect of star systems exhibiting intentionality through actions reminiscent of psychokinesis introduces both fascination and skepticism into the scientific discourse.
Additionally, a recent paper discussed measurable correlates of consciousness (MCCs), proposing a framework to examine consciousness across different entities. These correlates encompass behavioral, neural, and creative dimensions, suggesting avenues for empirical studies into consciousness at macro and micro levels.
