Stuart Hameroff, co-founder of the Toward a Science of Consciousness conference, follows a brief overview of quantum theory and general relativity with an update of the latest ideas and findings from the science of consciousness. He illustrates Roger Penrose’s suggestion that the collapse of the wave function causes consciousness, not the other way round, describing Objective Reduction (OR) as still the only mechanism to explain consciousness. He concludes with the tantalizing idea that life and consciousness may play an intrinsic role in the nature of the universe, allowing the physical constants to mutate and evolve from aeon to aeon.

WE LOVE YOU, HAMEROFF AND PENROSE. Thank you for spending hours and hours of your consciousness digging deep into the most important questions of our existence. Very important for the entire humanity.
if you could only walk backward… …if you could only move backward, you could never see where you were going… how important would it be… to have a mirror? Objects in mirror may be closer than appear? What else is closer than it appears? It would just be the objects, I guess… hard to see anything else.
hmm… i think i understand.
So then, consciousness only happens when matter experiences wave form collapse? For a while I did not understand what wave form collapse was, or what it meant. That is still true. One thing I understand is that a signal becomes clear when the wave form "collapses." Rather than that meaning the wave becomes scrambled, collapse means that the energy in the signal stops looking scrambled (on an oscilloscope) and many lines condense, to move together, in a wave, or a motionless, standing wave.
So there must be a direct ratio, of consciousness to wave collapse. And that's what the guy discovered. Implying that all matter has consciousness.
Or more likely, more precisely, all space has a whole bandwidth of consciousness, and the matter in space tunes itself to one signal of consciousness or another. Like, there is a radio station that all trees listen to, and in that way they are conscious.
the only answer is that there is motion where we think there is stillness. The fourth physical dimension (as opposed to time being the 4th dimension) is not static. If time slows down when we accelerate, then it could reverse if we exceeded c, but more importantly, there is a constant velocity, like c, at which everything or… everywhere, is moving. The only explanation for special relativity.
Perhaps that constant is a product of two opposing forces that give the illusion of being stationary. If all atoms are spinning, somehow (I'm not sure how that is actually happening), around their axes, axis, whatever, without the spin affecting their position, then a logical hypothesis might be that there is a very evenly distributed force that spins them. Do atoms spin themselves? Do they? How do you know?
wow very interesting theories, awesome stuff !
Cats are too big to operate this way?
Is it just me, but it seems like proponents for the theory, as well as critics, text dump the same explanations featured on other various websites and articles featuring this subject?
They almost feel like bots.
false premise. All this nonsense about conscious observation muddies the waters. If we set up machines to make the observation the wave collapse still happens so consciousness is irrelevant. Wave collapse happens with interaction and not only observation.
Great stuff. Simple explanation for dumbasses like me.
Why’d it have to be a cute little kitty?
Why not make it a big scary man eating crocodile, or an evil venomous snake? At least that way we wouldn’t have to feel bad!
the universe doesn't exist without consciousness. consciousness is the only thing documenting the universes existence
Hallucinogens, the collapse of the collapse of the wave function.
What a beautiful theory. Damn.
I LOVE Stewart but Einstein is a part of the government LIE. 8:24 There's no sun or stars. They're projections. Listen to Eric Dollard talk about the sun in this video. The sun is a transformer from another dimension. There's no heat or light in space. YOU CAN'T SEE the sun and stars in space because they're not there. Probably EVERYTHING we believe is lies. I want to know what was in the Library of Alexandria.
"Reality"as we're brainwashed to believe it to be is a prison planet to keep us slaves. It's totally fake or nothing like we think it is.
Eric is a genius, so he's odd and doesn't know everything about everything (he's not awake) but he's genius on electricity and the sun… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM5zrzd4pOU
Penrose Idea is mainly pantheism, except that proto-conscious experience is not associated with elementary particules but with a moment of decoherence of such an elementary particule, and as this decoherence is not a computational event (not deterministic), this would explain why we can have non computational intelligence.
This theory is interesting, but it does not explain for example why we perceive the 5 senses each in a different way, and why the conscious experience is unified. We would have to imagine that the network of microtubules in a quantic state would collapse collectively at the same moment, and then enter back in a quantic state and so on…
Also my guess is that consciousness is not just a passive phenomenom and that decoherence is not just influence by "platonic values", that there must be a place for free will somewhere…
So if a tree falls, but no "one" is there to observe the event, does it still experience Objective Reduction?
Bing is wrong. No conscious mind is needed.https://youtu.be/JHg-mr4aqWk?t=253 see https://youtu.be/Q2OlsMblugo?t=396
how about this:
consciousness does not occur in physical reality as a consequence of a set of constants: consciousness supports/creates physical reality, not the other way around.
consciousness is fundamental, and reality is a simulation. that is why it is possible for consciousness to influence 'reality' (placebo-effect, probability collapse, ..)
one needs to let go the paradigm where the physical, deterministic universe exists in itself, and where it is the origin of consciousness. it is logically impossible.
consciousness is all that exists, the physical world is a means it created in which to evolve itself. there would be no physical world without consciousness perceiving it, and therefore, wherever consciousness 'looks', physicality will manifest itself.
with this switch of paradigm, all falls into place.
WOW! This is the real deal!
¡ Qué manera de dar palos de ciego ¡
Between 13:50 and 17:28, the best part. This has to go through the scientific method 🙂 I believe that consciousness is something beyond the chemical functions of the brain, but, the problem of mixing quantum physics with metaphysical aspects is the charlatanism of such "spirituality" coaches.
More and more, it seems to me that Consciousness is the only thing that really exists and it generates everything we know, both energy and matter, space and time. The only problem with that is, that in our world consciousness seems to have fragmented and distributed over countless creatures, including ourselfs. This can only be when our consciousness originates in one big consciousness, most people including myself would call God. I think that pure consciousness has no location, nor can it be measured or detected. It simply 'is'. Consciousness is the quality to experience presence. For some reason it has created this 3D cosmos to experience its presence in a context of chronology, with cause and effect.
When I watched this, I could hear Dennett chuckling in discrete quanta.
What about the physics of the far. He covers close and closer. It's all in POV.
Bohm's Pilot Wave does make a lot of sense…
When I first heard this, I thought, that's just common sense isn't it?:
A moving object doesn't have a fixed location.
Does the cat choose if it alive or dead?
I gaurantee that all of the people going on about how this guy has no clue what he is talking about have never read a book on quantum physics. You have to love all of the YouTube "experts" on each of the comment sections of incredible videos like this one. You know none of them have even the slightest clue what the double slit light experiment is. Lol.
Briefly brushes over txt: "except on psychedelics" … Woah go back youre telling me that when on psychedelics we see wave length and its not the term they dubbed "hallucination"
This cat is definitely alive…. At 17:31+ Yep! It does
good god that's some trippy shit. well done

Interesting vid, but I notice in most science discussions that, of course, variuos theories, hypotheses and interpretation of experimetal results are being evaluated. Science is generally not reduced to first-hand description of results of cherry-picked experiments.
So we have this theory and that, like this is not like that.
Maybe, on the most fundamental questions and grounds, a closer synthesis of science and philosophy would be desirable and also it could be very useful to adopt a communicative approach to a compatible understanding and acceptions (or acceptations if you think "acception" is obsolete) of words such as "otherness" . The "this-not-that" dynamics of discussions is itself a point of reflection when the discussion itself is at a very fundamental level of the way things are, happen and are thought of.
After all, words like, say, criterion" and "paradigm" are commoly used in science and philosophy of science.
For instance, a concept (or word meaning if you prefer) like "conscience" is best treated with words than, say, mathematical formulae, and so we should deal with language according to language in order to provide adequate content.
Thinking many worlds is silly… like!
Great non-technical introduction to a variety of ideas.
