Rupert Sheldrake, British writer and biologist, released to the world the morphic resonance theory. This hypothesis suggests that it is not necessary to think that all of nature and its laws were created at the time of big Bang.
Natural laws coexist in a radically evolutionary universe. This supposes that, if nature evolves, the laws do so along with it. However, within continuous development and growth there is a pattern that guides evolution. The morphic resonance explores the possibility that nature depends on collective memory and some self-organized systems. Therefore, there is no evolution from nothing, but rather it is influenced by patterns from the past.
This is why the patterns that already had a memory give each species or system a piece of collective memory that helps them evolve. However, how does nature choose what information to pass on to the next generation?
We don’t know this yet, but Sheldrake’s theory suggests that there is a natural selection of habits (in the case of animals) and laws (in the case of humans) that guide us towards a physical, chemical, social, mental, cultural and therefore cosmic evolution.
This happens on a large scale; from the smallest and simplest organism to the most complex. The goal is to inherit successful habits or laws that help us evolve. This collective memory works in an invisible way to the eyes of the being, but in a palpable way for the history of evolution.
We are all part of a heritage, that collective memory that builds us and makes us better as time and space transform. Perhaps the form we know now will be strange and old for the humans of the future, which we hope will improve the species.
