For centuries, we believed that consciousness—your "self"—was something produced by the brain. We thought that when the neurons stopped firing, the person stopped existing. But in late 2025 and early 2026, a radical new model proposed by Professor Maria Strømme and other leading physicists has turned this on its head.
The theory? Consciousness is a fundamental field of the universe, just like gravity or electromagnetism.
1. The "Radio" Breakthrough
The most popular analogy in 2026 is that the human brain is not a computer producing a program; it is a radio receiver tuning into a signal.
The Theory: Consciousness exists everywhere in the universe as a "background field." Our brains simply have the specific biological "antenna" (likely located in the microtubules of our neurons) to tune into that field and create the experience of being "I."
Why it’s Viral: If this is true, it explains why many people have near-death experiences (NDEs) where they see things while their brain is clinically "dead." The radio was off, but the signal was still in the air.
2. The "Little Red Dots" and Ancient Logic
This ties back to our previous discussion on the James Webb Telescope. Some physicists are suggesting that the "Little Red Dots" (ancient, super-fast-growing black holes) might be evidence of how information—and perhaps consciousness—is recycled in the universe.
If consciousness is a field, it means it cannot be created or destroyed. When a person dies, their "individual wave" simply sinks back into the "universal ocean."
3. Terminal Lucidity: The 2026 Case Studies
One of the most powerful pieces of evidence being used to support this theory in 2026 is Terminal Lucidity. This is the phenomenon where patients with severe dementia or brain damage suddenly become perfectly clear and "themselves" just hours before death.
The New Science: In a 2026 study, researchers argued that as the brain (the receiver) begins to break down, it occasionally "glitches" into a state where it bypasses its damaged hardware and receives the consciousness field directly. It’s like a broken radio suddenly playing a crystal-clear song before it finally gives out.
4. Telepathy and "The Vibe"
We’ve all felt it—walking into a room and "feeling" the tension, or thinking of someone right before they call. In the old world, we called this a coincidence. In the Consciousness Field model of 2026:
Quantum Entanglement: If all our minds are "tuning in" to the same field, it’s possible for signals to cross.
The Collective Mind: This could finally explain the Mandela Effect. If a large group of "receivers" (people) all tune into a slightly different version of the field, they all "download" the same "false" memory.
5. What Does This Mean for You?
If you are a blog reader or a tech enthusiast in 2026, this discovery changes everything:
AI Consciousness: If consciousness is a field, can we build an antenna out of silicon? Scientists are currently trying to create "Quantum Neural Interfaces" that don't just mimic thinking, but actually "tune in" to the field.
Fear of Death: This theory offers a scientific bridge to spirituality. If you are the "signal" and not the "radio," then "you" are much more permanent than your physical body.
Conclusion: The Universe is Awakening
We are living in an era where the mysteries of the 1999/2000 Lacerta Files and the visions of Baba Vanga are meeting hard science. We are realizing that the universe isn't just a collection of rocks and gas—it is alive, and we are its way of experiencing itself.
The next time you have a "gut feeling" or a weird dream, don't ignore it. You might just be picking up a signal from the deep field.
