In this fascinating episode of Cosmic Conversations, host Philip Gruber explores the groundbreaking work of Quantum Doug Matzke, Ph.D., a pioneer in quantum computing, consciousness research, and hyperbit physics. For over 30 years, Doug has been developing information-centric models of reality that bridge science, mathematics, and metaphysics.

In March 2025, Doug intuited a new name for hyperbits—“Existons”, the essence of existence itself. Soon after, a friend channeled validation from higher intelligences: “We like your new name.” Existons represent the primordial discrete units of consciousness at the Planck scale, suggesting that consciousness is not emergent but intrinsic to the fabric of the universe.

This conversation explores:

  • The evolution of hyperbit physics into Existons

  • Why consciousness is built-in, not a byproduct of matter

  • How Existons support both objective and subjective experience

  • The surprising implications for the simulation hypothesis

  • A hyperbit panpsychism model that unifies science and spirit

Doug’s insights challenge conventional science and offer a profound vision of reality where consciousness permeates everything. This episode invites listeners to expand their worldview and consider the quantum essence of being itself.
