Hi,
The following report on the BBC News Web pages suggests that individual cells may be capable of thinking. In retrospect, of course, it is obvious that single cell organisms need to adapt to their environment in order to survive and this process must entail some form of information processing - but without using complex neuron networks that are the found in higher organisms. This begs the question as to the mechanism whereby a single cell thinks. In particular, does this research provide further support for the 'conscious universe' theory in which all living organisms interact with (and are part of) a universal field which manifests itself as scalar/vortex/torsion waves in the 'aether' (also known as the vacuum or continuum or space-time)?
