Background

Non-local consciousness refers to the hypothesis that consciousness exists independently of the physical brain and can operate beyond local space-time constraints.

Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve YES for the earliest date option that applies when either:

1. A peer-reviewed paper demonstrating non-local consciousness is published in a top-tier scientific journal (Nature, Science, etc.) AND receives broad acceptance from the scientific community, OR

2. Multiple independent research teams successfully replicate experiments proving non-local consciousness, AND this leads to a scientific consensus (>80% of relevant experts agree) that consciousness is non-local.
