Michael K. Baines

Theoretical Physicist • Aerospace Engineer • Author

Michael K. Baines is an independent researcher and aerospace engineer who founded the Ic² Research Institute and developed the COSMIC Framework—a unifying theory connecting information physics principles across domains from cosmology to human performance.

Drawing from his experience in aerospace engineering, where he observed how different thinking approaches determined professional longevity, Michael bridges theoretical physics with practical applications. His work explores how humans process information similarly to the universe itself, recognizing that “we ARE universal constituents”—made of the same atoms and following the same physical laws.

Through his books and research, Michael invites readers on a journey to rediscover the fundamental interconnectedness that underlies all existence, from quantum mechanics to consciousness itself.

Cosmic principles

Universal Principles

Information processing serves as the fundamental foundation of reality across all scales, from quantum mechanics to cosmic structures. This principle reveals how the universe operates through information exchange, storage, and transformation. The framework demonstrates that physical laws emerge from information-theoretic constraints, providing a unified understanding of natural phenomena.

Validated predictions

Validated Predictions

Three major predictions have been successfully documented before experimental validation, establishing scientific priority. These include dark energy evolution patterns confirmed by DESI, quantum error correction optimization validated by Google’s Willow chip, and early galaxy formation observations from JWST. Each prediction was timestamped and version-controlled prior to observational confirmation.

Research applications

Practical Applications

The framework extends from quantum mechanics and cosmology to human consciousness and peak performance optimization. Applications span understanding cognitive processing efficiency, the role of imagination in sustained innovation, and the emergence of cognitive capitalism. Real-world implications include predictions about AI systems, human decision-making patterns, and the scalability of creative thinking across different life stages.
