    He presents an interesting exercise in abstract thought (imagining the tenth dimension), but he's assuming that consciousness causes wavefunction collapse, and that the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is the correct one. He's speculating, and becomes something of a crackpot the moment he declares it to be anything more significant than that.

    Thank, but he is adamant, that he is not a crackpot. How can conciousness case wave function collapse, it's not like the particles know that you're looking at them, it is only the equipment used to obverse with that is affecting the experiment right?

    The "theory of reality" that I advance on [my] website and in the book "Imagining the Tenth Dimension" is not the one that is commonly accepted by today's physicists.​

    There's no indication that he is a scientist. But that doesn't necessarily make him a complete crackpot.

    I haven't really looked at his website properly.

    Youtube him, he talks some serious stuff. He tried to imply that he is some master of science. I am confused about him.
