In "Biocentrism," Robert Lanza, heralded as a maverick genius akin to Einstein, partners with esteemed astronomer Bob Berman to usher in a groundbreaking perspective on the cosmos that challenges the very bedrock of traditional science. With the audacity of Galileo’s heliocentric theory, "Biocentrism" posits a universe where life precedes existence, inverting the long-held belief that life is a mere consequence of the universe's physical laws. This revolutionary concept suggests that our understanding of reality—everything from the fabric of space-time to the phenomenon of death—is fundamentally flawed, confined by the narrow lenses through which Western science has viewed the natural world. Lanza and Berman navigate the reader through a labyrinth of scientific discoveries and philosophical quandaries, arguing for a paradigm shift from physics to biology as the primary mover of the cosmos. "Biocentrism" not only dismantles our conventional notions of life and time but also emboldens us with a new framework in which life is immortal, integral to the creation and fabric of the universe itself. This is not just a book; it's a portal to a new understanding of existence, promising to leave its readers with a profound sense of wonder, and the exhilarating possibility that the universe is more intimately connected with life than we ever dared imagine.

Fourth Principle of Biocentrism: Without consciousness, "matter" dwells in an undetermined state of probability. Any universe that could have preceded consciousness only existed in a probability state
