Force of Consciousness...

According to physics there are three or four forces at play in the universe. Three if they are comfortable with the combination of the electromagnetic force with the weak atomic, but if the person is not confident with the relationship between the photon and the W or Z boson, then they uphold the four forces. I would like to propose another force.

As you probably predicted from the title the proposed force is that of consciousness. One might consider this force ridiculous, for what evidence do I have that supports the addition of another force in the universe. It appears to be such a bold claim that no physicist would take me seriously. My evidence is irrefutable and has consistently stood up to comprehensive and exhaustive experimental testing.

What is this testing that proves that consciousness is a force? To answer that I must explain the experiment...

EXPERIMENT
Create a vacuum in which to shoot a single photon toward a beam splitter (any dichroic mirrored prism will do). Place a photomultiplier a distance from the beam splitter and connect the photomultiplier to a counter. Shoot a single photon into the beam splitter and record which photomultiplier will receive the photon. With the beam splitter the photon has a 50:50 chance of reaching either photomultiplier. This however doesn't occur because the photon will consistently be received by the photomultiplier located closer to the beam splitter. This will happen every time. No matter which direction from the beam splitter you place the photomultiplier, the result will always favor the closer of the two.

So what does this mean? This is a phenomena intrinsic of wave particle duality. Since the beam splitter divides the wave in two, the closer of the two photomultipliers will encounter the wave first. But the wave would be equally halved, so wouldn't each photomultiplier detect the photon? No because the act of the first photomultiplier detecting the wave transforms the entire wave into a single particle. This detection acts as a funnel to channel the dispersed energy of the wave into a single point of interaction. This interaction is analogous to observation, or a behavior of consciousness.

From a higher perspective it would appear that the observation itself attracts the photon, much like a massive body is attracted to another or how a positively charged atom is attracted to a negatively charged one. In other words this phenomenon cannot be distinguished from that of a force. So if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

The location of energy particles (ie. photons, gravitons, gluons, etc...) cannot be determined unless an interaction takes place (this is rigorously explained and tested by the uncertainty principle). The interaction itself acts as the funnel to collect all the possibilities of where the particle of energy MAY BE to a location where it IS. The interaction, or rather observation of interaction, becomes the guiding force of particle locality, and in fact makes the world concrete and distinguishable. If it weren't for the force of consciousness, this world would be empty (or at best an ambiguous haze).

Every force influences particles according to the path of least resistance. Meaning that everything in nature is lazy and would rather do nothing than anything, unless acted upon by a force. Since these waves are cascading throughout the universe, it would require influence to channel these waves to a single point. This influence results in an observation of an interaction (ie. photon making a mark on photographic paper, light hitting a cone in the retina, etc...). Consciousness is the force wielding the influence to make a wave into a particle. The potentiality of consciousness determines how a wave will become a particle. Just like in the experiment described above, the photon was consistently detected by the closer photomultiplier because the photon would have had to travel farther and work harder to make it to the other. So since both time and space take effort to traverse, the photon, from sheer laziness, will be attracted to the closest receiver.

So the questions that I would like to have answered is how this force can be magnified, enhanced or manipulated...
