Stuart Hameroff: Microtubules as the Gateway to Conscious Experience
from Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal · host Theories of Everything
Stuart Hameroff argues that consciousness arises at the interface of classical and quantum physics, with neuronal microtubules serving as quantum processing sites that could connect to the fabric of space‑time. He discusses how this view offers a profound quantum basis for consciousness and its implications for the future of mind science.RESOURCES:- Center for the Future Mind (Mindfest @ FAU): https://www.fau.edu/future-mind- Other Ai and Consciousness (Mindfest) TOE Podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ7ikzmc6zlOPw7Hqkc6-MXEMBy0fnZcb- Mathematics of String Theory (Video): https://youtu.be/X4PdPnQuwjY- Podcast w/ Stuart Hameroff (on TOE): https://youtu.be/uLo0Zwe579g- https://www.curtjaimungal.org Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal features long-form, technically detailed interviews with leading researchers in physics, mathematics, consciousness, and philosophy, exploring topics at the level of active research.
