Nobel Laureates on the Consciousness-based Paradigm

"The stuff of which physical reality is composed is mind-stuff. It is mind that has composed a physical universe."

George Wald, (Noble Prize in Physiology or Medicine)
 
 
"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness."

Max Planck (Nobel Prize in Physics)
 
 
"Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental."

Erwin Schrödinger  (Nobel Prize in Physics)
 

"I regard this theory [promissory materialism] as being without foundation. The more we discover scientifically about the brain the more clearly do we distinguish between the brain events and the mental phenomena and the more wonderful do the mental phenomena become. Promissory materialism is simply a superstition held by dogmatic materialists." 
 
Sir John Eccles (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine)
 
  
"The statistical probability that organic structures and the most precisely harmonized reactions that typify living organisms would be generated by accident, is zero."

Ilya Prigogine (Recipient of two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry)

 
"If you equate the probability of the birth of a bacteria cell to chance assembly of its atoms, eternity will not suffice to produce one…"

Christian de Duve  (Nobel Prize in Chemistry)

 
"For me now, the only reality is the human soul."

Sir Charles Sherrington (Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine)

Max Planck, whose discovery of the energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics, is the father of quantum theory.
