Quantum mechanics has no relationship to sentience.
- tomrod 1y agoCorrect. My apologies that my comment was unclear such that from my comment's content one could not distinguish particle accelerators built by sentient life and woo-woo New Age claims of "The Secret" or manifesting.
- parineum 1y agoThat's a pretty strong statement considering both facts that quantum mechanics affects everything and sentience is not understood.
- root_axis 1y agoQuantum mechanics is a well defined theory and sentience, however you define it, has nothing to do with it. Your reasoning is akin to saying "gravity affects everything so you can't rule out it has some connection to sentience". It's a meaningless statement.
- parineum 1y agoIt's not meaningless, it's just overly broad to the point of uselessness. You may as well be saying that reality has nothing to do with consciousness which is obviously untrue unless you're implying some kind of metaphysics.
- jojobas 1y agoApparently figuring out if a neuron fires or not involves quantum coin tossing.
