Nest I accommodates the macro events governed by principles of classical physics. Nest II accommodates the micro-events governed by principles of quantum physics. Nest III is the domain of Mind, Information, Memory, Intelligence, and Emotion. This is also the site for Elementary Phenomenologies such as Life (Birth), Death, Ego, Sex, and Love. Nest II could be bypassed, and one could enter Nest III from Nest I through ZPE. Nest III ends at the boundary of the systems, our brain/Universe, with the happenstance of the phenomena of inside-out and the outside-in. Nature transits to Mother Nature in Nest IV, where the purpose is chalked out for the required phenomenology in Nest III, and the events planned for Nest II and I. Self and Life, which maintain a tangled hierarchy amongst themselves operate from the border of Nest IV. Consciousness, the highest Cognitive faculty, asserts its supremacy through its strongest political “will”! The will- maker is Free but the will, once made, gets bound to the causality chain. On the side view, this arrangement looks like the layers of nature while in fact, this might be considered as a spiral beginning at the level of will and extending down to the event. This is an infinite spiral on the cosmic scale, finite-infinite on the human scale, minuscule on the cellular scale, connecting the will- making entity/operator/operation/center at the deepest domain with the broad-based most superficial domain of macro events. Every nest has a boundary, doors of communication with the adjacent nests, and specific currency with which the specific operators work for the operations. Now, we will describe two Ideas (Idea no 6 & 7), which see science across the “pore” in the existing envelope. Albert Einstein had led science to the level of ZPE. Quantum physics has led science to the point of quantum discontinuity and quantum void. There are enough scopes for extending science across these pores existing on the envelope of today’s framework of science. f) ZPE Space and matter are closely connected in the 4-D world. The matter is that which has mass and always occupies space. Could there be any space not related to matter or rather totally independent of matter! Einstein found a space with no matter but is occupied with near-zero energy, which is not constant but fluctuating. This energy does not follow the law, e=mc 2 . It is reported that after working with it for several years, Einstein abandoned this from his doing science. This is widely known as Einstein’s cosmological constant. Zero- point energy (ZPE), is said to be the most serious fine- tuning problem in theoretical physics because of its inexplicable smallness as found by experiments (non- zero but not greater than 10 -120 Ap. One Ap is equal to one Planck’s mass per cubic Planck’s length). This energy has a role in preventing the collapse of the universe or preventing inflation being eternal. From this fact comes suggestion of its relation with dark matter and dark energy of the universe. The value is not stable and there could be several values between zero and 10 - 120 Ap. Only a small fraction of the stable vacuum is hospitable to “life”[3]. Several post-COVID-19 sufferers’ experiences of space empty of matter, which includes many scientists, have brought ZPE on focus for germination of a new science across ZPE. The new idea (Fig.6) is that this pore leads us to the domain of mind, therefore connecting psychology with physics!
