Experiments Prepare to Test Whether Consciousness Arises from Quantum Weirdness
- WantonQuantum 2y agoMy predictions: - The researchers will not give a testable definition of consciousness. - The researchers will indeed find that the biochemistry of brains are affected by quantum effects. Something we know already because chemistry is atoms and atoms are quantum mechanical objects. - No progress will be made in the measurement problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_problem). So it's difficult to see that anything at all can come from these "experiments"
- 082349872349872 2y agoI'll go further and (being more optimistic about the researchers' integrity?) just predict a flat "no".
