As they crack jokes and fumble through quantum concepts, you'll laugh, ponder, and get lost in the mystery and wonder of this fascinating conversation.Is consciousness tied to a soul? Can microtubules really think? And could the universe itself be alive? Tune in, because we certainly don't have all the answers, but it’s a fun ride trying to figure it out.
