Is Reality an Illusion? New Theory Challenges Modern Physics scitechdaily.com 2 facts
quoteMaria Strømme stated regarding her theory: "Yes, you could say so. But above all, it is a theory in which consciousness comes first, and structures such as time, space and matter arise afterwards. It is a very ambitious attempt to describe how our experienced reality functions."
claimMaria Strømme, a Professor of Materials Science at Uppsala University, proposes a theoretical model in AIP Advances where consciousness is the fundamental element of reality, from which time, space, and matter arise.

quoteMaria Strømme, a materials scientist and engineer, states: "I am a materials scientist and engineer, so I am used to seeing matter as something fundamental. But according to this model, matter is secondary—much of what we experience is representation or illusion."
referenceMaria Strømme's theoretical framework posits that consciousness is not a byproduct of brain activity, but rather a fundamental field underlying all experience, including matter, space, time, and life itself.
