George Coyne is a Canadian philosopher, science communicator, and counselor. In his 2021 book [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe. He is also the Director of the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. Coyne agrees with philosopher Nicholas Maxwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Maxwell argument that science and philosophy need to be reunited into a modern version of natural philosophy. <br />
<br />
[[Steven Bryant]], computer scientist and author of Disruptive: Rewriting the Rules of Physics reviewed Notfinity Process by stating: “On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thought, theories, and ideas of 21st-century physics.”<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true for the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behavior occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />
<br />
Although not a presenter, Coyne was an invited participant to the Emergent Quantum Mechanics David Bohm Centennial Symposium from October 26th to 28th, 2017 in London England. Presenters included many of the world’s 37 leading physicists and philosophers, including the winner of half the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose. Basil Hiley, Max Tegmark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Tegmark, Paavo Pylkkänen, and mathematical physicist Maurice A.de Gosson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_A._de_Gosson. Coyne had an opportunity to confer with these researchers and many of the other speakers, participants, and attendees.<br />
<br />
==Main Published Work==<br />
<br />
[[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]], which critiques the Big Bang Theory, quantum mechanics and relativity theory was published on September 21, 2017. In the category of new releases of physics systems titles, his book was number one in the United States and Canada from the day it was published on September 21st and fluctuated in and out of the number one spot for its category for the first month. On September 22, 2017, Coyne had a lively and fascinating interview about Notfinity Process with Florida computer scientist [[David de Hilster]]. In November 2017 Coyne canceled his agreement with the publisher, so the first edition is no longer available.<br />
<br />
The 2nd edition of [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] was published as a paperback by the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society on June 15, 2021. <br />
<br />
==Other Work==<br />
In March 2019 Coyne became an editor and writer for ''Beyond Mainstream Science'', an online science magazine. His first article for it was titled ''Big Problems with the Big Bang Theory.'' published on May 1, 2019, in the premier issue. https://beyondmainstream.org/big-problems-with-the-big-bang/ <br />
<br />
Coyne has been asked to design and teach an undergraduate course—where students will learn about the latest research on mind and consciousness—at the soon-to-be-opened Chappell University, which will be offering online courses for credit. Coyne has not yet committed himself to teaching this.<br />

<br />
Notfinity Process reveals some errors in Einstein's relativity and many absurdities in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. it includes new explanations for quantum entanglement and the 2-slit experiment. The chapter on Understanding Consciousness clarifies the relationship between the brain and consciousness and dispenses with the so-called hard problem by asserting that it is not genuine.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses ideas in theoretical orthodox physics that have logical problems such as matterless motion; wave-particle duality; light waves in a void, negative mass; the duality of light; superposition and probability waves; cosmological expansion; inflation; Schrödinger's cat; and the cosmos needing an observer to exist.<br />
<br />
He discusses invalidating problems in relativity, such as the non-scientific objectification of motion, violations of scientific assumptions, and profound math errors. I show that The Big Bang has invalidating problems.<br />
<br />
Coyne describes Borchardt’s Infinite Universe Theory; Universal Cycle Theory, and his and Stephen Puetz’s Neomechanical Gravitational Theory. He examines Bryant’s Modern Mechanics Theory, Shaw’s entanglement explanation, and an aether gravity model.<br />
<br />
In a chapter on Bohmian mechanics, Coyne discusses causality and chance; pilot waves, and the undivided universe. Included are letters from Bohmian physicists: Dr. Basil Hiley, winner of the 2012 Majorana Prize Best Person in Physics, and Dr. David Peat.<br />
<br />
Other topics include a rational explanation for the double-slit experiment; Maxwell’s aether, energy, dark matter candidates, and the cosmological principle; alternatives to the galactic redshift interpretation, cosmological expansion, and inflation myths, as well as the emptiness myth.<br />
<br />
Coyne posits that consciousness is an abstraction for cognitive processes, and accounts for the hard problem of subjective experience. He contends that microcosms in motion generate perceptions, which the brain interprets uniquely based on the mind’s neuronal patterns.<br />
<br />
Coyne explains the differences between awareness and consciousness, the cause of dualistic confusion, and describes the Global Workplace Theory. He lists many questions about consciousness and the brain and provides logical answers.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses the illusion of the observer, the concept of self-awareness, Antonio Damasio's model, and the negative implications of “free will” from brain studies.<br />
<br />
Other areas concerning consciousness abstraction include the evolutionary benefit of advanced mental processes, a summary of neuroscience discoveries, and higher–order thought theory.<br />
<br />
More topics included in Notfinity Process are Modern Mechanics, the Infinite Universe Theory, the Universal Cycle Theory, rational solutions of entanglement and the 2-slit experiment, an aether gravity model, and consciousness is an abstraction for brain functions.<br />
<br />
Notfinity Process was originally published on September 16, 2017. The second edition was released on June 15, 2022, by the Chappell Natural Philosophy Society.<br />

Reviews<br />
“George Coyne is an original thinker who engages his readers with remarkable clarity and insight.” Duncan W Shaw, retired B.C. Supreme Court justice and author of published papers on the cause of gravity and the underpinnings of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and entanglement.<br />
<br />
“Notfinity Process is an epic science work. It is not an overview of currently accepted science, but rather discusses the author’s original and thought-provoking perspective on some key paradigms of science plus several other prominent scientists’ original views. All of this is put into one very readable volume.” Nicholas Percival, Harvard physics graduate and author of peer-reviewed papers since 1994 in Physics Essays critiquing aspects of relativity.<br />
<br />
"On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thoughts, theories, and ideas of 21st–century emerging physics. Steven Bryant, Author of Disruptive: Rewriting the rules of Physics."<br />
<br />
“George has done a remarkable job interpreting univironmental determinism, neomechanics and the assumption of infinity for those who are dubious about relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Monumental efforts like this are just what it will take to finally rid humanity of the silly idea of an entire universe exploding out of nothing.” Glenn Borchardt, Ph.D., Director of Progressive Science Institute and author of hundreds of papers and 4 books with 870 citations.<br />
<br />
“Great book and a must-read for all critical thinkers. Besides giving an overview of some of the best scientists of the 21st century, George adds much of his own work and insights, including solving some of the great problems with mind and consciousness. Bravo!” David de Hilster, President of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society (CNPS).<br />
<br />
"Informative, energetic, charismatic book on the problems of mainstream physics. I found George S. Coyne from his video interview with David de Hilster, which you can find on YouTube. In Notfinity Process, Coyne collects and explains many problems with mainstream physics, including problems with Einstein's theories of relativity, problems with both quantum mechanics and regular mechanics, and problems (63) with the Big Bang. He also explores alternate models of all these topics, including ones by Glenn Borchardt. I recommend this book.5 out of 5 stars." Tao Lin, author of "Leave Society" and other books.</div>GeorgeCNPS2http://wiki.naturalphilosophy.org/index.php?title=George_Staniforth_Coyne&diff=278656George Staniforth Coyne2023-10-03T00:06:08Z<p>GeorgeCNPS2: </p>

<br />
George Coyne is a Canadian philosopher, science writer, educator, and counselor. In his 2021 book [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe. He is also the Director of the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. Coyne agrees with philosopher Nicholas Maxwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Maxwell argument that science and philosophy need to be reunited into a modern version of natural philosophy. <br />
<br />
[[Steven Bryant]], computer scientist and author of Disruptive: Rewriting the Rules of Physics reviewed Notfinity Process by stating: “On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thought, theories, and ideas of 21st-century physics.”<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true for the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behavior occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />
<br />
Although not a presenter, Coyne was an invited participant to the Emergent Quantum Mechanics David Bohm Centennial Symposium from October 26th to 28th, 2017 in London England. Presenters included many of the world’s 37 leading physicists and philosophers, including the winner of half the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose. Basil Hiley, Max Tegmark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Tegmark, Paavo Pylkkänen, and mathematical physicist Maurice A.de Gosson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_A._de_Gosson. Coyne had an opportunity to confer with these researchers and many of the other speakers, participants, and attendees.<br />
<br />
==Main Published Work==<br />
<br />
[[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]], which critiques the Big Bang Theory, quantum mechanics and relativity theory was published on September 21, 2017. In the category of new releases of physics systems titles, his book was number one in the United States and Canada from the day it was published on September 21st and fluctuated in and out of the number one spot for its category for the first month. On September 22, 2017, Coyne had a lively and fascinating interview about Notfinity Process with Florida computer scientist [[David de Hilster]]. In November 2017 Coyne canceled his agreement with the publisher, so the first edition is no longer available.<br />
<br />
The 2nd edition of [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] was published as a paperback by the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society on June 15, 2021. <br />
<br />
==Other Work==<br />
In March 2019 Coyne became an editor and writer for ''Beyond Mainstream Science'', an online science magazine. His first article for it was titled ''Big Problems with the Big Bang Theory.'' published on May 1, 2019, in the premier issue. https://beyondmainstream.org/big-problems-with-the-big-bang/ <br />
<br />
Coyne has been asked to design and teach an undergraduate course—where students will learn about the latest research on mind and consciousness—at the soon-to-be-opened Chappell University, which will be offering online courses for credit. Coyne has not yet committed himself to teaching this.<br />
<br />

<br />
Notfinity Process reveals some errors in Einstein's relativity and many absurdities in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. it includes new explanations for quantum entanglement and the 2-slit experiment. The chapter on Understanding Consciousness clarifies the relationship between the brain and consciousness and dispenses with the so-called hard problem by asserting that it is not genuine.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses ideas in theoretical orthodox physics that have logical problems such as matterless motion; wave-particle duality; light waves in a void, negative mass; the duality of light; superposition and probability waves; cosmological expansion; inflation; Schrödinger's cat; and the cosmos needing an observer to exist.<br />
<br />
He discusses invalidating problems in relativity, such as the non-scientific objectification of motion, violations of scientific assumptions, and profound math errors. I show that The Big Bang has invalidating problems.<br />
<br />
Coyne describes Borchardt’s Infinite Universe Theory; Universal Cycle Theory, and his and Stephen Puetz’s Neomechanical Gravitational Theory. He examines Bryant’s Modern Mechanics Theory, Shaw’s entanglement explanation, and an aether gravity model.<br />
<br />
In a chapter on Bohmian mechanics, Coyne discusses causality and chance; pilot waves, and the undivided universe. Included are letters from Bohmian physicists: Dr. Basil Hiley, winner of the 2012 Majorana Prize Best Person in Physics, and Dr. David Peat.<br />
<br />
Other topics include a rational explanation for the double-slit experiment; Maxwell’s aether, energy, dark matter candidates, and the cosmological principle; alternatives to the galactic redshift interpretation, cosmological expansion, and inflation myths, as well as the emptiness myth.<br />
<br />
Coyne posits that consciousness is an abstraction for cognitive processes, and accounts for the hard problem of subjective experience. He contends that microcosms in motion generate perceptions, which the brain interprets uniquely based on the mind’s neuronal patterns.<br />
<br />
Coyne explains the differences between awareness and consciousness, the cause of dualistic confusion, and describes the Global Workplace Theory. He lists many questions about consciousness and the brain and provides logical answers.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses the illusion of the observer, the concept of self-awareness, Antonio Damasio's model, and the negative implications of “free will” from brain studies.<br />
<br />
Other areas concerning consciousness abstraction include the evolutionary benefit of advanced mental processes, a summary of neuroscience discoveries, and higher–order thought theory.<br />
<br />
More topics included in Notfinity Process are Modern Mechanics, the Infinite Universe Theory, the Universal Cycle Theory, rational solutions of entanglement and the 2-slit experiment, an aether gravity model, and consciousness is an abstraction for brain functions.<br />
<br />
Notfinity Process was originally published on September 16, 2017. The second edition was released on June 15, 2022, by the Chappell Natural Philosophy Society.<br />

Reviews<br />
“George Coyne is an original thinker who engages his readers with remarkable clarity and insight.” Duncan W Shaw, retired B.C. Supreme Court justice and author of published papers on the cause of gravity and the underpinnings of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and entanglement.<br />
<br />
“Notfinity Process is an epic science work. It is not an overview of currently accepted science, but rather discusses the author’s original and thought-provoking perspective on some key paradigms of science plus several other prominent scientists’ original views. All of this is put into one very readable volume.” Nicholas Percival, Harvard physics graduate and author of peer-reviewed papers since 1994 in Physics Essays critiquing aspects of relativity.<br />
<br />
"On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thoughts, theories, and ideas of 21st–century emerging physics. Steven Bryant, Author of Disruptive: Rewriting the rules of Physics."<br />
<br />
“George has done a remarkable job interpreting univironmental determinism, neomechanics and the assumption of infinity for those who are dubious about relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Monumental efforts like this are just what it will take to finally rid humanity of the silly idea of an entire universe exploding out of nothing.” Glenn Borchardt, Ph.D., Director of Progressive Science Institute and author of hundreds of papers and 4 books with 870 citations.<br />
<br />
“Great book and a must-read for all critical thinkers. Besides giving an overview of some of the best scientists of the 21st century, George adds much of his own work and insights, including solving some of the great problems with mind and consciousness. Bravo!” David de Hilster, President of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society (CNPS).<br />
<br />
"Informative, energetic, charismatic book on the problems of mainstream physics. I found George S. Coyne from his video interview with David de Hilster, which you can find on YouTube. In Notfinity Process, Coyne collects and explains many problems with mainstream physics, including problems with Einstein's theories of relativity, problems with both quantum mechanics and regular mechanics, and problems (63) with the Big Bang. He also explores alternate models of all these topics, including ones by Glenn Borchardt. I recommend this book.5 out of 5 stars." Tao Lin, author of "Leave Society" and other books.</div>GeorgeCNPS2http://wiki.naturalphilosophy.org/index.php?title=George_Staniforth_Coyne&diff=278653George Staniforth Coyne2023-10-02T23:29:24Z<p>GeorgeCNPS2: </p>

George Coyne is a Canadian philosopher, science writer, educator, and counselor. In his 2021 book [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe. He is also the Director of the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. Coyne agrees with philosopher Nicholas Maxwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Maxwell argument that science and philosophy need to be reunited into a modern version of natural philosophy. <br />
<br />
[[Steven Bryant]], computer scientist and author of Disruptive: Rewriting the Rules of Physics reviewed Notfinity Process by stating: “On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thought, theories, and ideas of 21st-century physics.”<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true for the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behavior occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />
<br />
Although not a presenter, Coyne was an invited participant to the Emergent Quantum Mechanics David Bohm Centennial Symposium from October 26th to 28th, 2017 in London England. Presenters included many of the world’s 37 leading physicists and philosophers, including the winner of half the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose. Basil Hiley, Max Tegmark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Tegmark, Paavo Pylkkänen, and mathematical physicist Maurice A.de Gosson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_A._de_Gosson. Coyne had an opportunity to confer with these researchers and many of the other speakers, participants, and attendees.<br />
<br />
==Main Published Work==<br />
<br />
[[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]], which critiques the Big Bang Theory, quantum mechanics and relativity theory was published on September 21, 2017. In the category of new releases of physics systems titles, his book was number one in the United States and Canada from the day it was published on September 21st and fluctuated in and out of the number one spot for its category for the first month. On September 22, 2017, Coyne had a lively and fascinating interview about Notfinity Process with Florida computer scientist [[David de Hilster]]. In November 2017 Coyne canceled his agreement with the publisher, so the first edition is no longer available.<br />
<br />
The 2nd edition of [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] was published as a paperback by the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society on June 15, 2021. <br />
<br />
==Other Work==<br />
In March 2019 Coyne became an editor and writer for ''Beyond Mainstream Science'', an online science magazine. His first article for it was titled ''Big Problems with the Big Bang Theory.'' published on May 1, 2019, in the premier issue. https://beyondmainstream.org/big-problems-with-the-big-bang/ <br />
<br />
Coyne has been asked to design and teach an undergraduate course—where students will learn about the latest research on mind and consciousness—at the soon-to-be-opened Chappell University, which will be offering online courses for credit. Coyne has not yet committed himself to teaching this.<br />

==Personal Life==<br />
<br />
Coyne resides in North Delta, a suburb of Vancouver, B.C. In his leisure time, he enjoys reading and writing on theoretical physics and discussing his physics, cosmology, and consciousness theories with others. He enjoys regular dialogues on an aether model of gravity, quantum mechanics, and entanglement during walks with his close friend, [[Duncan W Shaw]],https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Shaw_(judge) whose intriguing papers on these and other topics appear in the peer-reviewed journal "Physics Essays."<br />

<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true for the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behavior occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />
<br />
Although not a presenter, Coyne was an invited participant to the Emergent Quantum Mechanics David Bohm Centennial Symposium from October 26th to 28th, 2017 in London England. Presenters included many of the world’s 37 leading physicists and philosophers, including the winner of half the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose. Basil Hiley, Max Tegmark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Tegmark, Paavo Pylkkänen, and mathematical physicist Maurice A.de Gosson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_A._de_Gosson. Coyne had an opportunity to confer with these researchers and many of the other speakers, participants, and attendees.<br />
<br />
==Main Published Work==<br />
<br />
[[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]], which critiques the Big Bang Theory, quantum mechanics and relativity theory was published on September 21, 2017. In the category of new releases of physics systems titles, his book was number one in the United States and Canada from the day it was published on September 21st and fluctuated in and out of the number one spot for its category for the first month. On September 22, 2017, Coyne had a lively and fascinating interview about Notfinity Process with Florida computer scientist [[David de Hilster]]. In November 2017 Coyne canceled his agreement with the publisher, so the first edition is no longer available.<br />
<br />
The 2nd edition of [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] was published as a paperback by the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society on June 15, 2021. <br />
<br />
==Other Work==<br />
In March 2019 Coyne became an editor and writer for ''Beyond Mainstream Science'', an online science magazine. His first article for it was titled ''Big Problems with the Big Bang Theory.'' published on May 1, 2019, in the premier issue. https://beyondmainstream.org/big-problems-with-the-big-bang/ <br />
<br />
Coyne has been asked to design and teach an undergraduate course—where students will learn about the latest research on mind and consciousness—at the soon-to-be-opened Chappell University, which will be offering online courses for credit. Coyne has not yet committed himself to teaching this.<br />

George Coyne is a Canadian philosopher, science writer, educator, and counselor. In his 2021 book [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe.

<br />
George Coyne is a Canadian philosopher, science writer, educator, and counselor. In his 2017 book [[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe. He is also the Director of the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. Coyne agrees with philosopher Nicholas Maxwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Maxwell argument that science and philosophy need to be reunited into a modern version of natural philosophy. <br />
<br />
[[Steven Bryant]], computer scientist and author of Disruptive: Rewriting the Rules of Physics reviewed Notfinity Process by stating: “On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thought, theories, and ideas of 21st-century physics.”<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true for the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behavior occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />
<br />

In his 2017 book [[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe. He is also the Director of the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. Coyne agrees with philosopher Nicholas Maxwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Maxwell argument that science and philosophy need to be reunited into a modern version of natural philosophy. <br />
<br />
[[Steven Bryant]], computer scientist and author of Disruptive: Rewriting the Rules of Physics reviewed Notfinity Process by stating: “On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thought, theories, and ideas of 21st-century physics.”<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true for the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behavior occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />
<br />
Although not a presenter, Coyne was an invited participant to the Emergent Quantum Mechanics David Bohm Centennial Symposium from October 26th to 28th, 2017 in London England. Presenters included many of the world’s 37 leading physicists and philosophers, including the winner of half the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose. Basil Hiley, Max Tegmark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Tegmark, Paavo Pylkkänen, and mathematical physicist Maurice A.de Gosson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_A._de_Gosson. Coyne had an opportunity to confer with these researchers and many of the other speakers, participants, and attendees.<br />
<br />
==Main Published Work==<br />
<br />
[[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]], which critiques the Big Bang Theory, quantum mechanics and relativity theory was published on September 21, 2017. In the category of new releases of physics systems titles, his book was number one in the United States and Canada from the day it was published on September 21st and fluctuated in and out of the number one spot for its category for the first month. On September 22, 2017, Coyne had a lively and fascinating interview about Notfinity Process with Florida computer scientist [[David de Hilster]]. In November 2017 Coyne canceled his agreement with the publisher, so the first edition is no longer available.<br />
<br />
The 2nd edition of [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] was published as a paperback by the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society on June 15, 2021. <br />
<br />
==Other Work==<br />
In March 2019 Coyne became an editor and writer for ''Beyond Mainstream Science'', an online science magazine. His first article for it was titled ''Big Problems with the Big Bang Theory.'' published on May 1, 2019, in the premier issue. https://beyondmainstream.org/big-problems-with-the-big-bang/ <br />
<br />
Coyne has been asked to design and teach an undergraduate course—where students will learn about the latest research on mind and consciousness—at the soon-to-be-opened Chappell University, which will be offering online courses for credit. Coyne has not yet committed himself to teaching this.<br />

<br />
Notfinity Process reveals some errors in Einstein's relativity and many absurdities in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. it includes new explanations for quantum entanglement and the 2-slit experiment. The chapter on Understanding Consciousness clarifies the relationship between the brain and consciousness and dispenses with the so-called hard problem by asserting that it is not genuine.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses ideas in theoretical orthodox physics that have logical problems such as matterless motion; wave-particle duality; light waves in a void, negative mass; the duality of light; superposition and probability waves; cosmological expansion; inflation; Schrödinger's cat; and the cosmos needing an observer to exist.<br />
<br />
He discusses invalidating problems in relativity, such as the non-scientific objectification of motion, violations of scientific assumptions, and profound math errors. I show that The Big Bang has invalidating problems.<br />
<br />
Coyne describes Borchardt’s Infinite Universe Theory; Universal Cycle Theory, and his and Stephen Puetz’s Neomechanical Gravitational Theory. He examines Bryant’s Modern Mechanics Theory, Shaw’s entanglement explanation, and an aether gravity model.<br />
<br />
In a chapter on Bohmian mechanics, Coyne discusses causality and chance; pilot waves, and the undivided universe. Included are letters from Bohmian physicists: Dr. Basil Hiley, winner of the 2012 Majorana Prize Best Person in Physics, and Dr. David Peat.<br />
<br />
Other topics include a rational explanation for the double-slit experiment; Maxwell’s aether, energy, dark matter candidates, and the cosmological principle; alternatives to the galactic redshift interpretation, cosmological expansion, and inflation myths, as well as the emptiness myth.<br />
<br />
Coyne posits that consciousness is an abstraction for cognitive processes, and accounts for the hard problem of subjective experience. He contends that microcosms in motion generate perceptions, which the brain interprets uniquely based on the mind’s neuronal patterns.<br />
<br />
Coyne explains the differences between awareness and consciousness, the cause of dualistic confusion, and describes the Global Workplace Theory. He lists many questions about consciousness and the brain and provides logical answers.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses the illusion of the observer, the concept of self-awareness, Antonio Damasio's model, and the negative implications of “free will” from brain studies.<br />
<br />
Other areas concerning consciousness abstraction include the evolutionary benefit of advanced mental processes, a summary of neuroscience discoveries, and higher–order thought theory.<br />
<br />
More topics included in Notfinity Process are Modern Mechanics, the Infinite Universe Theory, the Universal Cycle Theory, rational solutions of entanglement and the 2-slit experiment, an aether gravity model, and consciousness is an abstraction for brain functions.<br />
<br />
Notfinity Process was originally published on September 16, 2017. The second edition was released on June 15, 2022, by the Chappell Natural Philosophy Society.<br />
<br />
Reviews<br />
“George Coyne is an original thinker who engages his readers with remarkable clarity and insight.” Duncan W Shaw, retired B.C. Supreme Court justice and author of published papers on the cause of gravity and the underpinnings of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and entanglement.<br />
<br />
“Notfinity Process is an epic science work. It is not an overview of currently accepted science, but rather discusses the author’s original and thought-provoking perspective on some key paradigms of science plus several other prominent scientists’ original views. All of this is put into one very readable volume.” Nicholas Percival, Harvard physics graduate and author of peer-reviewed papers since 1994 in Physics Essays critiquing aspects of relativity.<br />
<br />
"On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thoughts, theories, and ideas of 21st–century emerging physics. Steven Bryant, Author of Disruptive: Rewriting the rules of Physics."<br />
<br />
“George has done a remarkable job interpreting univironmental determinism, neomechanics and the assumption of infinity for those who are dubious about relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Monumental efforts like this are just what it will take to finally rid humanity of the silly idea of an entire universe exploding out of nothing.” Glenn Borchardt, Ph.D., Director of Progressive Science Institute and author of hundreds of papers and 4 books with 870 citations.<br />
<br />
“Great book and a must-read for all critical thinkers. Besides giving an overview of some of the best scientists of the 21st century, George adds much of his own work and insights, including solving some of the great problems with mind and consciousness. Bravo!” David de Hilster, President of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society (CNPS).<br />
<br />
"Informative, energetic, charismatic book on the problems of mainstream physics. I found George S. Coyne from his video interview with David de Hilster, which you can find on YouTube. In Notfinity Process, Coyne collects and explains many problems with mainstream physics, including problems with Einstein's theories of relativity, problems with both quantum mechanics and regular mechanics, and problems (63) with the Big Bang. He also explores alternate models of all these topics, including ones by Glenn Borchardt. I recommend this book.5 out of 5 stars." Tao Lin, author of "Leave Society" and other books.</div>GeorgeCNPS2http://wiki.naturalphilosophy.org/index.php?title=Notfinity_Process:_Matter-in-Motion&diff=278603Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion2023-02-11T10:34:10Z<p>GeorgeCNPS2: </p>

Coyne describes Borchardt’s Infinite Universe Theory; Universal Cycle Theory, and his and Stephen Puetz’s Neomechanical Gravitational Theory. He examines Bryant’s Modern Mechanics Theory, Shaw’s entanglement explanation, and an aether gravity model.<br />
<br />
In a chapter on Bohmian mechanics, Coyne discusses causality and chance; pilot waves, and the undivided universe. Included are letters from Bohmian physicists: Dr. Basil Hiley, winner of the 2012 Majorana Prize Best Person in Physics, and Dr. David Peat.<br />
<br />
Other topics include a rational explanation for the double-slit experiment; Maxwell’s aether, energy, dark matter candidates, and the cosmological principle; alternatives to the galactic redshift interpretation, cosmological expansion, and inflation myths, as well as the emptiness myth.<br />
<br />
Coyne posits that consciousness is an abstraction for cognitive processes, and accounts for the hard problem of subjective experience. He contends that microcosms in motion generate perceptions, which the brain interprets uniquely based on the mind’s neuronal patterns.<br />
<br />
Coyne explains the differences between awareness and consciousness, the cause of dualistic confusion, and describes the Global Workplace Theory. He lists many questions about consciousness and the brain and provides logical answers.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses the illusion of the observer, the concept of self-awareness, Antonio Damasio's model, and the negative implications of “free will” from brain studies.<br />
<br />
Other areas concerning consciousness abstraction include the evolutionary benefit of advanced mental processes, a summary of neuroscience discoveries, and higher–order thought theory.<br />
<br />
More topics included in Notfinity Process are Modern Mechanics, the Infinite Universe Theory, the Universal Cycle Theory, rational solutions of entanglement and the 2-slit experiment, an aether gravity model, and consciousness is an abstraction for brain functions.<br />

Reviews<br />
“George Coyne is an original thinker who engages his readers with remarkable clarity and insight.” Duncan W Shaw, retired B.C. Supreme Court justice and author of published papers on the cause of gravity and the underpinnings of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and entanglement.<br />
<br />
“Notfinity Process is an epic science work. It is not an overview of currently accepted science, but rather discusses the author’s original and thought-provoking perspective on some key paradigms of science plus several other prominent scientists’ original views. All of this is put into one very readable volume.” Nicholas Percival, Harvard physics graduate and author of peer-reviewed papers since 1994 in Physics Essays critiquing aspects of relativity.<br />
<br />
"On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thoughts, theories, and ideas of 21st–century emerging physics. Steven Bryant, Author of Disruptive: Rewriting the rules of Physics."<br />
<br />
“George has done a remarkable job interpreting univironmental determinism, neomechanics and the assumption of infinity for those who are dubious about relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Monumental efforts like this are just what it will take to finally rid humanity of the silly idea of an entire universe exploding out of nothing.” Glenn Borchardt, Ph.D., Director of Progressive Science Institute and author of hundreds of papers and 4 books with 870 citations.<br />
<br />
“Great book and a must-read for all critical thinkers. Besides giving an overview of some of the best scientists of the 21st century, George adds much of his own work and insights, including solving some of the great problems with mind and consciousness. Bravo!” David de Hilster, President of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society (CNPS).<br />
<br />
"Informative, energetic, charismatic book on the problems of mainstream physics. I found George S. Coyne from his video interview with David de Hilster, which you can find on YouTube. In Notfinity Process, Coyne collects and explains many problems with mainstream physics, including problems with Einstein's theories of relativity, problems with both quantum mechanics and regular mechanics, and problems (63) with the Big Bang. He also explores alternate models of all these topics, including ones by Glenn Borchardt. I recommend this book.5 out of 5 stars."

Notfinity Process reveals some errors in Einstein's relativity and many absurdities in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. the book includes new explanations for quantum entanglement and the 2-slit experiment. The chapter on the relationship between the brain, mind, self, and consciousness clarifies many artificial problems in this area.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses ideas in theoretical orthodox physics that have logical problems such as matterless motion; wave-particle duality; light waves in a void, negative mass; the duality of light; superposition and probability waves; cosmological expansion; inflation; Schrödinger's cat; and the cosmos needing an observer to exist.<br />

Monumental efforts like this are just what it will take to finally rid humanity of the silly idea of an entire universe exploding out of nothing.” Glenn Borchardt, Ph.D., Director of Progressive Science Institute and author of hundreds of papers and 4 books with 870 citations.<br />
<br />
“Great book and a must-read for all critical thinkers. Besides giving an overview of some of the best scientists of the 21st century, George adds much of his own work and insights, including solving some of the great problems with mind and consciousness. Bravo!” David de Hilster, President of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society (CNPS).</div>GeorgeCNPS2http://wiki.naturalphilosophy.org/index.php?title=George_Staniforth_Coyne&diff=278597George Staniforth Coyne2023-02-11T10:06:53Z<p>GeorgeCNPS2: </p>

George Coyne is a Canadian philosopher, science writer, educator, and counselor. In his 2017 book [[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe. He is also the Director of the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. Coyne agrees with philosopher Nicholas Maxwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Maxwell argument that science and philosophy need to be reunited into a modern version of natural philosophy. <br />
<br />
[[Steven Bryant]], computer scientist, theoretical physics theorist, and author of Disruptive: Rewriting the Rules of Physics wrote this in a review of Notfinity Process: “On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thought, theories, and ideas of 21st-century physics.”<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true for the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behavior occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />
<br />
Although not a presenter, Coyne was an invited participant to the Emergent Quantum Mechanics David Bohm Centennial Symposium from October 26th to 28th, 2017 in London England. Presenters included many of the world’s 37 leading physicists and philosophers, including the winner of half the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose. Basil Hiley, Max Tegmark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Tegmark, Paavo Pylkkänen, and mathematical physicist Maurice A.de Gosson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_A._de_Gosson. Coyne had an opportunity to confer with these researchers and many of the other speakers, participants, and attendees.<br />
<br />
==Main Published Work==<br />
<br />
[[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]], which critiques the Big Bang Theory, quantum mechanics and relativity theory was published on September 21, 2017. In the category of new releases of physics systems titles, his book was number one in the United States and Canada from the day it was published on September 21st and fluctuated in and out of the number one spot for its category for the first month. On September 22, 2017, Coyne had a lively and fascinating interview about Notfinity Process with Florida computer scientist [[David de Hilster]]. In November 2017 Coyne canceled his agreement with the publisher, so the first edition is no longer available.<br />
<br />
The 2nd edition of [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] was published as a paperback by the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society on June 15, 2021. <br />
<br />
==Other Work==<br />
In March 2019 Coyne became an editor and writer for ''Beyond Mainstream Science'', an online science magazine. His first article for it was titled ''Big Problems with the Big Bang Theory.'' published on May 1, 2019, in the premier issue. https://beyondmainstream.org/big-problems-with-the-big-bang/ <br />
<br />
Coyne has been asked to design and teach an undergraduate course—where students will learn about the latest research on mind and consciousness—at the soon-to-be-opened Chappell University, which will be offering online courses for credit. Coyne has not yet committed himself to teaching this.<br />

<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science.

Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />

<br />
George Coyne is a Canadian philosopher, science writer, educator, and counselor. In his 2017 book [[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe. He is also the Director of the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. Coyne agrees with philosopher Nicholas Maxwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Maxwell argument that science and philosophy need to be reunited into a modern version of natural philosophy. <br />
<br />
[[Steven Bryant]], computer scientist, theoretical physics theorist, and author of Disruptive: Rewriting the Rules of Physics wrote this in a review of Notfinity Process: “On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thought, theories, and ideas of 21st-century physics.”<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true to the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behaviour occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear.

<br />
George Coyne is a Canadian philosopher, science writer, educator, and counselor. In his 2017 book [[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe. He is also the Director of the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. Coyne agrees with philosopher Nicholas Maxwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Maxwell argument that science and philosophy need to be reunited into a modern version of natural philosophy. <br />
<br />
[[Steven Bryant]], computer scientist, theoretical physics theorist, and author of Disruptive: Rewriting the Rules of Physics wrote this in a review of Notfinity Process: “On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thought, theories, and ideas of 21st-century physics.”<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true to the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behaviour occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />
<br />
Although not a presenter, Coyne was an invited participant to the Emergent Quantum Mechanics David Bohm Centennial Symposium from October 26th to 28th, 2017 in London England. Presenters included many of the world’s 37 leading physicists and philosophers, including the winner of half the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose. Basil Hiley, Max Tegmark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Tegmark, Paavo Pylkkänen, and mathematical physicist Maurice A.de Gosson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_A._de_Gosson. Coyne had an opportunity to confer with these researchers and many of the other speakers, participants, and attendees.<br />
<br />
==Main Published Work==<br />
<br />
[[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]], which critiques the Big Bang Theory, quantum mechanics and relativity theory was published on September 21, 2017. In the category of new releases of physics systems titles, his book was number one in the United States and Canada from the day it was published on September 21st and fluctuated in and out of the number one spot for its category for the first month. On September 22, 2017, Coyne had a lively and fascinating interview about Notfinity Process with Florida computer scientist [[David de Hilster]]. In November 2017 Coyne canceled his agreement with the publisher, so the first edition is no longer available.<br />
<br />
The 2nd edition of [[Notfinity Process: Matter-in-Motion]] was published as a paperback by the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society on June 15, 2021. <br />
<br />
==Other Work==<br />
In March 2019 Coyne became an editor and writer for ''Science Woke'', an online science magazine at https://www.sciencewoke.org. His first article for the magazine is titled ''Big Problem with the Big Bang Theory.'' It was published on May 1, 2019, in the premier issue.<br />
<br />
Coyne has been asked to design and teach an undergraduate course—where students will learn about the latest research on mind and consciousness—at the soon-to-be-opened Chappell University, which will be offering online courses for credit. Coyne has not yet committed himself to teaching this.<br />

He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />
<br />
Although not a presenter, Coyne was an invited participant to the Emergent Quantum Mechanics David Bohm Centennial Symposium from October 26th to 28th, 2017 in London England. Presenters included many of the world’s 37 leading physicists and philosophers, including the winner of half the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose. Basil Hiley, Max Tegmark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Tegmark, Paavo Pylkkänen, and mathematical physicist Maurice A.de Gosson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_A._de_Gosson. Coyne had an opportunity to confer with these researchers and many of the other speakers, participants, and attendees.<br />

<br />
George Coyne is a Canadian philosopher, science writer, educator, and counselor. In his 2017 book [[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe. He is also the Director of the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. Coyne agrees with philosopher Nicholas Maxwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Maxwell argument that science and philosophy need to be reunited into a modern version of natural philosophy. <br />
<br />
[[Steven Bryant]], computer scientist, theoretical physics theorist, and author of Disruptive: Rewriting the Rules of Physics wrote this in a review of Notfinity Process: “On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thought, theories, and ideas of 21st-century physics.”<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true to the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behaviour occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />

<br />
George Coyne is a Canadian philosopher, science writer, educator, and counselor. In his 2017 book [[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]] he critiques relativity theory, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Big Bang cosmology while promoting credible alternative models that do not contain paradoxes or contradictions. He also writes about a new paradigm for consciousness, which does not require anything other than brain functioning.<br />
<br />
He is a board member of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], a scientific society for the philosophical study of nature and the physical universe. He is also the Director of the Vancouver office of the Progressive Science Institute. Coyne agrees with philosopher Nicholas Maxwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Maxwell argument that science and philosophy need to be reunited into a modern version of natural philosophy. <br />
<br />
[[Steven Bryant]], computer scientist, theoretical physics theorist, and author of Disruptive: Rewriting the Rules of Physics wrote this in a review of Notfinity Process: “On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thought, theories, and ideas of 21st-century physics.”<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
George Coyne grew up in the Metro Toronto area. His interest in science began at about 5 years of age when he first attempted to conceive of the Earth in the universe. Since his youth, he has been exploring the wonders of the ways that we connect to our environment which led to his interests in philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. At age 11 he began wondering about the concept of “time” and began questioning conventional assumptions about it. By age 15 he no longer accepted that time was a flowing thing. Five years later he was sure that accepted definitions for a time were invalid. He next began seeking definitions for matter, energy, and space but was unable to find any that made sense. It appeared that scientists had no idea about how these concepts represented any particular thing or occurrence in the universe. To Coyne, they appeared to be using their professional power to validate their views on these topics. Just prior to his 20th birthday he moved to Vancouver B.C on his own. <br />
<br />
At age 21 he began work in youth counseling, with very troubled clients. His first client was a 16-year-old boy, addicted to heroin and diagnosed as psychotic, who often stole purses for drug money. While walking in a park with Coyne, the boy threatened him with a knife and demanded his wallet. To create as much fear as possible, he pointed out that he was "crazy" so Coyne better cooperate. Coyne remained completely calm and told the boy that the staff in the receiving and diagnostic home he was residing in were much more mentally disturbed than he was. This seemed to be very true to the boy. He must have appreciated the fact that an adult had made a connection to his reality, and he put away the knife and was friendly toward Coyne from that moment on. In later years Coyne continued to develop this approach in which one is viewed as an ally by others as a form of nonviolent self-defense. Coyne also sees violent behavior as containing an urgent message. When the message can be received, accepted, and understood before the violent behaviour occurs, it removes the incentive to use violence. He used this understanding at age 25 to save his life when a group of men began to hit him and threatened to kill him.<br />
<br />
==Involvement in Science==<br />
<br />
In his early 20s, Coyne began studying quantum mechanics and relativity physics. Many of the quantum mechanics books were about the Copenhagen interpretation, which appeared absurd. One of the biggest disagreements with this view concerned the concept that the universe cannot exist unless an observation occurs, or one makes a measurement. <br />
<br />
In 1981 Coyne became interested in [[David Bohm]]'s interpretation of quantum mechanics because it did not contain impossible concepts, contradictions, or paradoxes, such as duality. However, he did not agree with Bohm's contention that one could alternate between holding deterministic and indeterministic worldviews depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
On August 1, 2014, Coyne started corresponding with Bohm's friend and associate, the late quantum physicist F. David Peat, the director of The Pari Center for New Learning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pari_Center_for_New_Learning Coyne treasured his friendship with Peat, who encouraged him to expand on his blog on consciousness, which Peat read at http://thescientificworldview.blogspot.com]. Coyne began writing guest blogs for The Scientific Worldview website in August 2015, including one co-written with [[Glenn Borchardt]] Ph.D. Coyne also contributes comments about blogs on that website. <br />
<br />
Later in August 2014, Coyne initiated a series of email exchanges with theoretical physicist Dr. Basil Hiley, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Hiley, who co-wrote “The Undivided Universe” with David Bohm and won The Majorana Prize for Best person in physics in 2012. Coyne is grateful for Hiley taking the time to clarify one of his concepts, which appears verbatim with permission in Notfinity Process. In February 2016 Coyne accepted an offer to head the Vancouver office of The Progressive Science Institute.http://www.scientificphilosophy.org/<br />
<br />
On July 22, 2017, Coyne presented a paper titled Brain, Mind, Self, and Consciousness to scientists at the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society international conference at the University of British Columbia. This paper's explanation of consciousness had great interest from physicists, computer scientists, and other scientists in attendance. As of January 2022, it has over 3,100 views on a Facebook page where most research paper presenters usually have fewer than 50 views. Soon after the convention, Coyne was invited to join the Board of Directors of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. Its website provides the following statement: “[[CNPS]] provides an open forum for the study, debate, and presentation of serious scientific ideas, theories, philosophies, and experiments that are not commonly accepted in mainstream science. The CNPS uses the term Natural Philosophy in its broader sense which includes physics, cosmology, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. Our goal is to return to the basics where things went wrong and start anew.” <br />
<br />
Coyne contends that there are problems with Einstein’s relativity, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang theory. Additionally, he questions the idea of the psychological self as an entity. He proposes that it is merely a program in the brain. In Coyne’s view when a theory relies on invalid abstractions, he is willing to challenge its proponents regardless of how esteemed and powerful they may appear. If a theory has contradictions, then it cannot be valid. Coyne refuses to become emotionally invested in any theory, including his own. For him, the search for truth is all that matters.<br />
<br />
Although not a presenter, Coyne was an invited participant to the Emergent Quantum Mechanics David Bohm Centennial Symposium from October 26th to 28th, 2017 in London England. Presenters included many of the world’s 37 leading physicists and philosophers, including the winner of half the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose. Basil Hiley, Max Tegmark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Tegmark, Paavo Pylkkänen, and mathematical physicist Maurice A.de Gosson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_A._de_Gosson. Coyne had an opportunity to confer with these researchers and many of the other speakers, participants, and attendees.<br />
<br />
==Main Published Work==<br />
<br />
[[Notfinity Process: Microcosms-in-Motion]], which critiques the Big Bang Theory, quantum mechanics and relativity theory was published on September 21st, 2017. In the category of new releases of physics systems titles, his book was number one in the United States and Canada from the day it was published on September 21st and fluctuated in and out of the number one spot for its category for the first month. On September 22, 2017, Coyne had a lively and fascinating interview about Notfinity Process with Florida computer scientist [[David de Hilster]]. In November 2017 Coyne canceled his agreement with the publisher, so the first edition is no longer available.<br />
<br />
The 2nd edition of Notfinity Process: Matter-In-Motion was published as a paperback by the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society on June 15, 2021. <br />
<br />
==Other Work==<br />
In March 2019 Coyne became an editor and writer for ''Science Woke'', an online science magazine at https://www.sciencewoke.org. His first article for the magazine is titled ''Big Problem with the Big Bang Theory.'' It was published on May 1, 2019, in the premier issue.<br />
<br />
Coyne has been asked to design and teach an undergraduate course—where students will learn about the latest research on mind and consciousness—at the soon-to-be-opened Chappell University, which will be offering online courses for credit. Coyne has not yet committed himself to teaching this.<br />

<br />
Notfinity Process reveals some errors in Einstein's relativity and many absurdities in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. the book includes new explanations for quantum entanglement and the 2-slit experiment. The chapter on the relationship between the brain, mind, self, and consciousness clarifies many artificial problems in this area.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses ideas in theoretical orthodox physics that have logical problems such as matterless motion; wave-particle duality; light waves in a void, negative mass; the duality of light; superposition and probability waves; cosmological expansion; inflation; Schrödinger's cat; and the cosmos needing an observer to exist.<br />
<br />
He discusses invalidating problems in relativity, such as the non-scientific objectification of motion, violations of scientific assumptions, and profound math errors. I show that The Big Bang has invalidating problems.<br />
<br />
Coyne describes Borchardt’s Infinite Universe Theory; Universal Cycle Theory, and his and Stephen Puetz’s Neomechanical Gravitational Theory. He examines Bryant’s Modern Mechanics Theory, Shaw’s entanglement explanation, and an aether gravity model.<br />
<br />
In a chapter on Bohmian mechanics, Coyne discusses causality and chance; pilot waves, and the undivided universe. Included are letters from Bohmian physicists: Dr. Basil Hiley, winner of the 2012 Majorana Prize Best Person in Physics, and Dr. David Peat.<br />
<br />
Other topics include a rational explanation for the double-slit experiment; Maxwell’s aether, energy, dark matter candidates, and the cosmological principle; alternatives to the galactic redshift interpretation, cosmological expansion, and inflation myths, as well as the emptiness myth.<br />
<br />
Coyne posits that consciousness is an abstraction for cognitive processes, and accounts for the hard problem of subjective experience. He contends that microcosms in motion generate perceptions, which the brain interprets uniquely based on the mind’s neuronal patterns.<br />
<br />
Coyne explains the differences between awareness and consciousness, the cause of dualistic confusion, and describes the Global Workplace Theory. He lists many questions about consciousness and the brain and provides logical answers.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses the illusion of the observer, the concept of self-awareness, Antonio Damasio's model, and the negative implications of “free will” from brain studies.<br />
<br />
Other areas concerning consciousness abstraction include the evolutionary benefit of advanced mental processes, a summary of neuroscience discoveries, and higher–order thought theory.<br />
<br />
More topics included in Notfinity Process are Modern Mechanics, the Infinite Universe Theory, the Universal Cycle Theory, rational solutions of entanglement and the 2-slit experiment, an aether gravity model, and consciousness is an abstraction for brain functions.<br />
<br />
Notfinity Process was originally published on September 16, 2017. The second edition is scheduled to be released in late May 2019 by the Chappell Natural Philosophy Society.<br />

Reviews<br />
“George Coyne is an original thinker who engages his readers with remarkable clarity and insight.” Duncan W Shaw, retired B.C. Supreme Court justice and author of published papers on the cause of gravity and the underpinnings of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and entanglement.<br />
<br />
“Notfinity Process is an epic science work. It is not an overview of currently accepted science, but rather discusses the author’s original and thought-provoking perspective on some key paradigms of science plus several other prominent scientists’ original views. All of this is put into one very readable volume.” Nicholas Percival, Harvard physics graduate and author of peer-reviewed papers since 1994 in Physics Essays critiquing aspects of relativity.<br />
<br />
"On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity.

<br />
“George has done a remarkable job interpreting univironmental determinism, neomechanics and the assumption of infinity for those who are dubious about relativity, quantum mechanics and the Big Bang theory. Monumental efforts like this are just what it will take to finally rid humanity of the silly idea of an entire universe exploding out of nothing.” Glenn Borchardt, Ph.D., Director of Progressive Science Institute and author of hundreds of papers and 4 books with 870 citations.<br />
<br />
“Great book and a must-read for all critical thinkers.

He catalogs absurdities in orthodox physics such as matterless motion; wave-particle duality; light waves in a void, negative mass; duality of light; superposition and probability waves; cosmological expansion; inflation; Schrödinger's cat; and that the cosmos needs an observer to exist.<br />
<br />
He discusses invalidating problems in relativity, such as the non-scientific objectification of motion, violations of scientific assumptions, and profound math errors. I show that The Big Bang has invalidating problems.<br />
<br />
Coyne describes Borchardt’s Infinite Universe Theory; Universal Cycle Theory, and his and Stephen Puetz’s Neomechanical Gravitational Theory. He examines Bryant’s Modern Mechanics Theory, and Shaw’s entanglement explanation and aether gravity model.<br />
<br />
In a chapter on Bohmian mechanics, Coyne discusses causality and chance; pilot waves and the undivided universe. Included are letters from Bohmian physicists: Dr Basil Hiley, winner of the 2012 Marjorana Prize Best Person in Physics, and Dr. David Peat.<br />
<br />
Other topics include a rational explanation for the double-slit experiment; Maxwell’s aether, energy, dark matter candidates, and the cosmological principle; alternatives to the galactic redshift interpretation, cosmological expansion and inflation myths, as well as the emptiness myth.<br />
<br />
Coyne posits that consciousness is an abstraction for cognitive processes, and accounts for the hard problem of subjective experience. He contends that microcosms in motion generate perceptions, which the brain interprets uniquely based on the mind’s neuronal patterns.<br />
<br />
Coyne explains differences between awareness and consciousness, the cause of dualistic confusion, and describe the Global Workplace Theory. He lists many questions about consciousness and the brain and provides logical answers.<br />
<br />
Coyne discusses the illusion of the observer, the concept of self-awareness, Antonio Damasio's model, and negative implications of “free will” from brain studies.<br />
<br />
Other areas concerning the consciousness abstraction include the evolutionary benefit of advanced mental processes, summary of neuroscience discoveries and higher–order thought theory.<br />
<br />
More topics included in Notfinity Process are Modern Mechanics, the Infinite Universe Theory, and the Universal Cycle Theory, rational solutions of entanglement and the 2-slit experiment, an aether gravity model, and consciousness is an abstraction for brain functions.<br />

Reviews<br />
“George Coyne is an original thinker who engages his readers with remarkable clarity and insight.” Duncan W Shaw, retired B.C. Supreme Court justice and author of published papers on the cause of gravity and the underpinnings of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and entanglement.<br />
<br />
“Notfinity Process is an epic science work. It is not an overview of currently accepted science, but rather discusses the author’s original and thought-provoking perspective on some key paradigms of science plus several other prominent scientists’ original views. All of this is put into one very readable volume.” Nicholas Percival, Harvard physics graduate and author of peer reviewed papers since 1994 in Physics Essays critiquing aspects of relativity.<br />
<br />
"On the forefront of the next scientific revolution, George is amongst the first to embrace theories like Modern Mechanics, which outperforms Einstein’s theory of relativity. George moves beyond the question of whether Einstein is right and instead begins answering: Where do we go from here? He challenges the scientific worldview by introducing his own ideas while synthesizing thoughts, theories, and ideas of 21st–century emerging physics. Steven Bryant, Author of Disruptive: Rewriting the rules of Physics."<br />
<br />
“George has done a remarkable job interpreting univironmental determinism, neomechanics and the assumption of infinity for those who are dubious about relativity, quantum mechanics and the Big Bang theory. Monumental efforts like this are just what it will take to finally rid humanity of the silly idea of an entire universe exploding out of nothing.” Glenn Borchardt, PhD, Director of Progressive Science Institute and author of hundreds of papers and 4 books with 870 citations.<br />
<br />
“Great book and a must read for all critical thinkers. Besides giving an overview of some of the best scientists of the 21st century, George adds much of his own work and insights, including solving some of the great problems with mind and consciousness. Bravo!” David de Hilster, President of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society (CNPS).</div>GeorgeCNPS2http://wiki.naturalphilosophy.org/index.php?title=File:Notfinity_Cover.jpg&diff=278581File:Notfinity Cover.jpg2023-02-11T08:10:56Z<p>GeorgeCNPS2: GeorgeCNPS2 uploaded a new version of File:Notfinity Cover.jpg</p>
