A particle must endure interaction. A cell must protect its interior without sealing itself off from the world. A body must move oxygen, pain, memory, and repair before it is too late. A mind must hold experience together long enough for a self to appear. A civilization must carry trust, dignity, truth, and second chances without crushing the people it claims to serve.At the center of the book is the Portability Principle: meaning becomes real only when it can pass through thresholds and remain intact. A truth that arrives too late may still be true, but it can no longer rescue. A right that cannot be used in time is not freedom. A system that explains itself after the damage is done has already failed the living being inside it.\u003ci\u003eFrom Quarks to Neurons to Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e moves through physics, biology, institutions, artificial minds, aging, dementia, soul, and metaphysics with one relentless question: what kind of world allows witness to emerge and remain?This is not a simple science book, and it is not a work of easy mysticism. It is a philosophical journey through the fragile architecture that lets matter become life, life become mind, and mind become aware of its own passage through time. For readers interested in consciousness, metaphysics, science, theology, and the future of human civilization, \u003ci\u003eFrom Quarks to Neurons to Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e offers a bold and unsettling vision: existence is not merely something we possess. It is something we must survive crossing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47882771595415,"sku":"9798195745769","price":6505.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798195745769.webp?v=1781096947","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/from-quarks-to-neurons-to-consciousness-the-portability-principle-9798195745769","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
