ABSTRACT: The conclusion of physics, within both a historical and more
recent context, that an objectively progressive time and present
moment are derivative notions without actual physical foundation in
nature, illustrate that these perceived chronological features
originate from subjective conscious experience and the neurobiological
processes underlying it. Using this conclusion as a stepping stone, it
is posited that the phenomena of an in-built subjective conception of
a progressive present moment in time and that of conscious awareness
are actually one and the same thing, and as such, are also the outcome
of the same neurobiological processes. A possible explanation as to
how this might be achieved by the brain through employing the neuronal
induced nonconscious cognitive manipulation of a small interval of
time is proposed. The CIP phenomenon, elucidated within the context of
this study is also then discussed. Link:
