Alfred, Jay: - Jay Alfred is an independent researcher and the author of several books, including Our Invisible Bodies: Scientific Evidence for Subtle Bodies, Between the Moon and Earth: A Scientific Exploration of Heavens and Hells, Dark Earth and Brains and Realities. He is the author of dark plasma theory which proposed in 2005 that dark matter (i.e., invisible matter that makes up 85 percent of the matter in the universe) could include weakly self-interacting particles in a plasma state. It predicts the evolution and existence of many species of dark plasma life-forms which inhabit ecological niches in counterpart dark planets that co-rotate with the visible Earth. The most glaring omission of current astrobiology is that we are searching for life only in ordinary matter, ignoring the bulk composed of dark matter. Jay has been researching on plasma and dark matter life-forms (and also related plasmonic and photonic life-forms) for more than twenty years with numerous publications on a new field he calls 'plasma and dark astrobiology.' Of particular interest are the endosymbiotic relationships between these plasma life-forms and humans, and the resulting scientific implications on the human afterlife. On a wider perspective, Jay researches on the close correlations and strong causal inferences between the varieties of consciousness and the attributes of various realities. His research areas are in conscious realism and plasma and dark matter astrobiology. Website link: https: //jayalfred1.academia.edu/LinkedIn: https: //www.linkedin.com/in/jay-alfred-019a2b1ab/
