generates controversy on a whole different plane with 'Biocentrism,' a book
that lays out his theory of everything."

"Biomedical researcher Robert Lanza has been on the frontier of cloning and
stem cell studies for more than a decade, so he's well-acclimated to
controversy," writes Alan Boyle, MSNBC.com's Science Editor. "But his book
"Biocentrism" is generating controversy on a different plane by arguing that
our consciousness plays a central role in creating the cosmos. 'By treating
space and time as physical things, science picks a completely wrong starting
point for understanding the world,' Lanza declares. Any claim that space and
time aren't cold, hard, physical things has to raise an eyebrow...Other
physicists point out that Lanza's view is fully in line with the perspective
from quantum mechanics that the observer plays a huge role in how reality is
observed. 'So what Lanza says in this book is not new,' Richard Conn Henry, a
physics and astronomy professor at Johns Hopkins University, said in a book
review. 'Then why does Robert have to say it at all? It is because we, the
physicists, do not say it - or if we do say it, we only whisper it, and in
private - furiously blushing as we mouth the words. True, yes; politically
correct, hell no!' ... Does all this make a difference in daily life, or how
you see the world? Take a look at the free sample of 'Biocentrism.'"
