I was really hoping to see descriptions of some experiments being done to test this theory. What is a situation where a photon would act differently if it has consciousness than if it is merely an unthinking artifact of physical laws? Or a berry, or a fish, or a small plastic statue of a dragon, or a bong?
Of course there may also be the problem that experiments that confirm this theory can very quickly lead you down a path to publishing a paper whose tl,dr is "I think I just confirmed that 'magic' works" and that is very definitely not a route to tenure and/or further funding; Bengston's "The Energy Cure" is a pretty good example of what happens when you start doing that.

- swader999 3y agoTake a look at Tom Campbell's current iteration of the double slit. (I am loosely/poorly summarizing). He's predicting that you'll get wave like behavior with an observer at the slit if the recorder for the observer is turned off. The observer is still turned on. Fascinating implications. Should have results in the coming year. Preliminary reports are encouraging. He's crowd funded this setup and its ongoing: https://youtu.be/72qVppAoCc8?feature=shared https://youtu.be/72qVppAoCc8?feature=shared More in depth: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OZUqtxdT0QY&pp=ygUYVG9tIENhbXBiZWxsIGRvdWJsZSBzbGl0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OZUqtxdT0QY&pp=ygUYVG9tIENhbXB... He's got an update from this August but it's just about waiting on labs and universities to complete it.
- egypturnash 3y agoI keep on thinking I should get ahold of his book. Oh hey I just checked his site and it's not only on Amazon any more, now a copy is on its way. :)

- choxi 3y agoIsn’t the measurement problem still potentially linked to consciousness? We don’t know why we experience one thing when reality is actually in a superposition of possibilities. It could be that our measurement devices cause quantum collapse, or they too exist in a superposition until we measure the measuring device.
- swader999 3y agoSee Tom Campbell above re new Double Slit experiments, he's addressing your specific issue here.
