Can our consciousness connects with universe
Theory of consciousness is mysterious to mine since ages. Studies done on rodents by giving anaesthesia and observing their brain impulses provides some clue that our brain perform quantum operations and that this ability generates our consciousness—an idea that’s been gaining traction over the past three decades. The notion that quantum physics must be the underlying mechanism for consciousness first emerged in the 1990s, when Nobel Prize–winning physicist Roger Penrose, PhD, and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, MD, popularized the idea that neural microtubules enable quantum processes in our brain, giving rise to consciousness. Specifically, they postulated in a 1996 paper that consciousness may operate as a quantum wave passing through the brain’s microtubules. This is known as Orch OR theory, referring to the ability of microtubules to perform quantum computations through a mathematical process Penrose calls “objective reduction.” In quantum physics, a particle does not exist in t...
