Neuroscientist Julia Mossbridge challenges academic dogma on consciousness and physics
#2496 - Julia Mossbridge
This conversation bridges the gap between rigorous cognitive neuroscience and frontier physics to challenge how we define the limits of human consciousness.
- 1Mainstream academic dogma often prematurely dismisses unconventional anomalies that challenge standard scientific frameworks.
- 2Quantum mechanics and non-local time offer potential pathways to understanding telepathic experiences in gifted individuals.
- 3Mysterious gaps in memory surrounding government-linked educational programs point to overlooked historical anomalies.

Julia Mossbridge discusses the scientific possibilities of non-local time and telepathy.
The brief
Cognitive neuroscientist Julia Mossbridge joins the podcast to challenge the boundaries of modern academic dogma by exploring the intersections of physics and consciousness.
Mossbridge argues that mainstream science often overlooks anomalies, pointing to quantum mechanics and non-local time as frameworks that could explain unexplained phenomena.
The discussion turns to telepathic experiences in gifted individuals, questioning how human connection might operate outside of traditional sensory limits.
Adding a layer of mystery, Mossbridge addresses her own unexplained memory gaps regarding historical, government-linked educational programs.

Humans possess exceptional capacities that can be developed.
“I think people have these capacities and they've been dampened down and they're in us and they can be developed.”
Listen at 1:17
Exceptional human capacities are useful and can support practical applications.
“People have these capacities. They're actually useful. What can we do with them? And it turns out you can do a lot with them”

Academic research often takes decades to validate and apply discoveries.
“academia is so slow. They can learn something. And then 10 years later they're like, do you think it's true? And then 20 years later they're like, maybe we can make something with it.”
Listen at 12:24
Scientific understanding of the human mind has advanced little since 1991.
“We know about as much about the human mind now as we knew in 1991 when I first went to graduate school.”
Listen at 34:46
Witnessing birth and death helps train people to understand the human mind.
“That experience I think helps train us in it is the instruction book for the human mind.”
Listen at 39:02
Deep concentration on difficult activities can produce selflessness and flow.
“Whenever you have to apply your whole self to something, then what's a. It's so ironic because you apply your whole self to something, and then what that allows to happen is that you become selfless.”
Listen at 45:13
Two or more matching factors make an experience likely precognitive.
“if you have two or more factors, it's likely precognitive”
Listen at 47:44
Men’s skin conductance rises before correctly guessing randomly selected outcomes.
“before men got their first trial correct, this is just a guessing game. So it's all randomly selected. Their skin conductance would go crazy like they just won the lottery.”
Listen at 54:40
Men are two to three times more likely than women to become gambling addicts.
“gambling addicts are twice as likely or maybe three times as likely to be men as women”
Listen at 55:59
A gender difference in presentiment appeared in one task and replicated in heartbeat data.
“women and men both show the effect. But in this particular task, it was just like, very clear. And then I replicated it in heart heartbeat.”
Listen at 57:04
Precognitive ability was available to humans before language.
“So it's very clearly available? I mean, before language.”
Listen at 57:46
Language suppresses otherwise present psychic or telepathic abilities.
“I think it's neuroscientifically defensible that it's there, but that language actually suppresses it.”
Listen at 1:04:37
Speech ability may depend mainly on small differences in neural fiber connectivity.
“the difference just is in degree. In other words, just a few more fiber tracks.”
Listen at 1:38:32
Babies may possess telepathic abilities before acquiring language.
“I almost think that babies are probably telepathic.”
Listen at 1:39:01
Scientists should begin studying souls scientifically.
“I really think we ought to start studying souls scientifically”
Listen at 1:44:27
Physical reality may rest on an informational substrate containing universal information.
“underneath all of what we call physical reality, so space, time, matter, energy, is this informational substrate”
Listen at 1:45:03
Remote viewing and related abilities exceed chance, especially during love or self-transcendence.
“I've shown that that's the case at a rate greater than chance, especially if people are in a place of self transcendence or feeling love.”
Listen at 1:46:44
Precognition implies information can travel backward from future events.
“that means that sort of information can leak backwards from the future.”
Listen at 1:48:12
Current quantum-computing approaches represent a fundamental mistake.
“Quantum computing is our mistake, our current mistake.”
Listen at 1:52:29
Leaves perform room-temperature quantum computation that current technology cannot replicate.
“a leaf is using essentially, quantum computing to do photosynthesis in a way that we don't. That we can't replicate right now.”
Listen at 1:52:39
Photon interference patterns reveal a future experimental duration during the preceding 30 seconds.
“in the first 30 seconds, can you determine what the choice is going to be based on the pattern? If you can, that means this thing is interfering in time, and it turns out you could.”
Listen at 2:00:33
An independent Berkeley experiment reproduced the photon-interference result.
“Oh, that the same result happened.”
Listen at 2:01:46
Future events can influence past events rather than changing timelines.
“It's that the future influenced the past.”
Listen at 2:04:35
Which-path detection changes the double-slit experiment’s interference pattern.
“What happens is the actual outcome now looks different. You don't get the same interference pattern.”
Listen at 2:05:12
Mossbridge thinks mind and photons are related.
“that's the other reason why I think that mind and photons are related”
Listen at 2:05:38
Gaining observational knowledge changes photon behavior, suggesting photons participate in mind-like processes.
“You've just gained knowledge and it has now changed. It's almost like the photons are part of mind.”
Listen at 2:05:56
Leaves perform quantum computation in wet physiological environments.
“It's functioning in this really wet physiological environment. And it's doing just fine with quantum computation.”

Listen at 2:09:50
Room-temperature particle groups may provide information about the future.
“these group properties of particles at room temperature that can tell us about the future”

UAP disclosure files could be released imminently.
“when that happens, which could be literally tomorrow, it might be today, with the release of the files”
Listen at 2:13:56

“I think there's going to be a lot of redacted stuff and flood the Zone”

Future-human origins are a plausible explanation for gray aliens.
“I think that's a really good one, at least for the grays.”
Listen at 2:16:32
Humans and photons can obtain information from the future.
“all of us can basically get information from the future, and so can photons”
