How Quantum Mechanics Sheds Light on the Nature of Consciousness and Its Role in the Universe Introduction Consciousness remains one of the most profound mysteries in science. While classical theories focus on neurobiological and cognitive aspects, recent advancements suggest that quantum mechanics might hold the key to understanding consciousness. This exploration is not only pivotal […]

Will The Real Schrodinger’s Cat Please Stand Up – Hackaday
Albert Einstein was at the center of the idea behind Schrodinger’s cat. Einstein believed quantum theory was useful in predicting statistical outcomes, but didn’t apply to a complete theory of nature. The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paper expressed these criticisms. In it, Einstein came up with an analogy involving an an Arduino and two red Sparkfun boxes. The […]
The Age of Artificial Consciousness
The intelligence that is built into the machines that we create is pushing the boundaries of their capability and independence, blurring the line between humans and technology. In fact, many researchers think that we are approaching the point where machines possess more intelligence than an average human. The new battlefront is now the concept of […]
Exploring the Quantum Mind: Physics Meets Consciousness Studies
Introduction to the Quantum Mind Defining the Quantum Mind The concept of the “Quantum Mind” refers to the hypothesis that quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, play a fundamental role in the processes of consciousness. Unlike classical theories that view the brain as a complex but ultimately classical system, the quantum mind […]
Ohio State professor challenges classical view of consciousness – OSU – The Lantern
At first thought, you would not expect a professor of international politics and security to be interested in research exploring our consciousness. Yet this is exactly what is happening at the OSU. The book that has just been published presented a decade worth of research by professor Wendt. He explains that his interest in […]
The God quest: why humans long for immortality – New Statesman
Eternity and immortality are two concepts that very few of us would recognize as something we pursue, yet just by observing human behavior, we can say that the desire for this life that lasts forever is quite present. The unusual conclusion about these quests is that we do not give them up even as […]
Consciousness and Dreams
Many people would quickly say that our dreams and consciousness are completely opposite experiences. However, since we remember the dreams in most cases, we can actually state that dreams are exactly the experiences deeply rooted in consciousness. In fact, they are among the most unique and vivid experiences of this kind. Even those who […]
Beyond Dualism: Embracing Non-Dualistic Approaches in Philosophy
Introduction to Non-Dualism Defining Dualism and Non-Dualism Dualism is a philosophical concept that posits the existence of two fundamental and often opposing realities or principles. Common examples include the mind-body dualism, which separates mental phenomena from physical phenomena, and the good-evil dichotomy, which distinguishes moral opposites. Dualism has been a cornerstone in various philosophical […]
Exploring Quantum Physics, Spirituality, and Consciousness: Insights from Federico Faggin and Bernardo Kastrup
Delving into the Intersection of Science and Spirituality through the Minds of Two Pioneering Thinkers Introduction Quantum physics, spirituality, and consciousness are profound topics that have intrigued humanity for centuries. They intersect in fascinating ways, offering insights into the nature of reality and our place within it. This article explores these intersections through the perspectives […]
Wild and Structured Consciousness
From the philosophical point of view, consciousness can be considered quite wild. Our experience of the things like shooting pain or encountering intense color is quite different in its mechanism from processing information that is structured. This conclusion is the result of studies of empirical nature where scientists looked at cognitive functions of our […]
