In this discussion, he explains that, while endeavoring to calculate the volume of subatomic particles as well as atoms, he and his theoretical partner, physicist Edward Close, discovered a mathematical requirement for a new substance that occupied volume but contains neither mass nor energy. This substance, he believes, may be consciousness. He calls it “Gimmel”, and argues that Gimmel is present in every single stable particle in the universe. He believes that this discovery resolves many other scientific mysteries.
