Topological Geometrodynamics (TGD) Topological Geometrodynamics (thesis in 1983) and topics related to it have been my main research interest for 21 years now. TGD is an attempt to unify fundamental interactions by assuming that physical spacetimes can be regarded as submanifolds of certain 8-dimensional space , which is product of Minkowski space light cone and 4-dimensional complex projective space CP_2. One could end up with TGD as a generalization of string model obtained by replacing 1-dimensional strings with 3-dimensional surfaces or as an attempt to construct Poincare invariant theory of gravitation (Poincare group acts in imbedding space rather than on spacetime surface). TGD implies a radical generalization of the concept of spacetime. This has consequences in all branches of physics , in particular in biology. There are strong reasons to expect that the quantum field theory limit of TGD is p-adic in the sense that the topology of the quantum average spacetime is p-adic. One of the most wonderful properties of the p-adic QFT is the absence of the ultraviolet divergences. p-Adicity leads to surprisingly precise predictions for elementary particle masses and it is possible to understand the origin of the elementary particle mass scales number theoretically. TGD predicts a lot of New Physics, in particular a scaled up copy of hadron physics, and experimental evidence for this new hadron physics has begun to gradually accumulate. Furthermore, Quantum TGD leads naturally TGD inspired theory of consciousness, which has been developing vigorously during the last year. The latest findings mean a real mathematical breakthrough: the existence of the configuration space metric and spinor structure fixes the choice of the imbedding space uniquely to H=M^4_+\times CP_2 deduced originally from the physical considerations.
