I'm biased to believe it, I would like an outside point of view

meh...supposition based on personal opinion.

This is similar to what casparov believes. Still need to have some serious evidence to buy it.

Yeah, not much meat, but I think this guy is worth reading, I never heard of Heisenberg until now

My evaluation,  he's got to much damned time on his hands sitting around contemplating his navel and has proven nothing. Bottom line,  slow news cycle.

Okay how about his theory of a biocentric universe?

Meh..people with to much time to sit around thinking of frivolous unanswerable questions with ideas that are neither provable nor disprovable. Godidit.

I'm preaching the gospel of the toothfairysm religion in the thinking atheist site. I know you are the founder prophet of our religion but I'm the highest priest of our religion. I don't get it , theist trolls in the thinking atheist site don't buy our doctrine but they believe in biggest horse crap called Christianity.

Huffington Post reporting on science again. Enough said.

Lanza.... is that the asshole that tried saying that other scientists were immediately on board with how when you die, your soul goes to a different universe?

Edit: Yup. The guy is a crock of shit. http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/scientists-claim-that-quantum-theory-proves-consciousness-moves-to-another-universe-at-death/

[Hydra009]

Sounds like quite the quantum woo peddler.  And behind all the sciency-sounding disinformation?  The assertion that "life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever".  The very same self-centered wishful thinking of the faithful the world over.  Perhaps it is true that all religion is one.  But one what?

[GSOgymrat]

I think the perspective of a biocentric universe is interesting although I'm not sure what practical applications it would have.

Heisenburg is interesting, but your author does not understand the impllications of the observer effect. For starters, the thing doing the observing doesn't have to have consciousness: the same thing happens when a computer does it.

There is not even a definition of soul by science that would fit his opinion. Strawman fallacy. He's not even a neurologist much less a physicist or cosmologist, he is just another Deepak Chopra that doesn't understand quantum mechanics. He's a medical doctor that works with material bodies for Christ sakes! He's using appeal to authority fallacy of being a scientist to seem legitimate when he is not an expert, or scientist in the field he speaks of. He's not even a theologian.  Solitary
