Is Consciousness a Quantum Effect?
from The Opening With Oscar Emerson · host Oscar Emerson
What if consciousness isn't something your brain produces — but something the universe does? Right now, you're experiencing color, sound, emotion, and meaning. But your skull is a sealed vault. Nothing out there is red. Nothing is loud. There is only physics. So how does dead matter wake up?This video explores the most difficult question in science — the hard problem of consciousness — and one radical answer: that your awareness might be a quantum effect, rooted not just in your neurons, but in the fabric of spacetime itself. Featuring the work of Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff, and their controversial Orchestrated Objective Reduction theory.Music: Just Another Statistic by Luke Richards, https://t.lickd.co/l/wARp4ZJ7RYnSecrets Uncovered by Luke Richards, https://t.lickd.co/l/ZMgrLlLbdnw
