+thexfile Subscriber² Posted September 28, 2024 Subscriber² Share Posted September 28, 2024 A RECENT GROUNDBREAKING EXPERIMENT in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of consciousness. To pull it off, these microscopic hollow tube structures, called “microtubules,” don’t rely on our everyday flavor of classical physics. Instead, experts believe, microtubules perform incredible operations in the quantum realm. Citing the work of earlier researchers, the study infers that the same kind of quantum operations are likely happening in human brains. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a62373322/quantum-theory-of-consciousness/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1446836-your-consciousness-can-connect-with-the-whole-universe-groundbreaking-new-research-suggests/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
