New research shows quantum states in the brain may link consciousness to the entire universe.
In a fascinating convergence of physics and neuroscience, recent research suggests that human consciousness may function as a quantum phenomenon—one that connects our minds with the broader universe.
Building on the controversial Orch OR (Orchestrated Objective Reduction) theory, scientists are now producing experimental evidence that supports the idea that microtubules—structures within brain cells—can maintain quantum coherence, even in the brain’s warm, wet environment.
These quantum states could be the key to consciousness existing as a wave capable of superposition and entanglement, potentially linking human awareness to quantum systems across space.
This theory has gained new traction thanks to simulations and experiments showing that quantum reactions can persist inside microtubules for significantly longer than expected.
Meanwhile, theoretical physicist Timothy Palmer suggests that consciousness may reside in a cosmic fractal “state space”—a shared geometric structure that might explain both free will and our sense of being interconnected with the universe.
While not yet definitive, this research marks a critical step toward understanding consciousness as more than a neural illusion: it may be a quantum feature of reality itself.
Me? I see a scientific awareness or awaking for that crazy little thing called the HolySpirt… connect d spiritual brothers and sisters of the Quantum kind!
If you are not a scientist, and you disagree with scientists about science, it’s actually not a disagreement. You are just wrong. Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its position, it didn’t lie to you. It learned more.
I don’t think any politician wants to be burdened with the political and real cost it would take to get there again. The cost was one thing when we were in a space race, but now the average person doesn’t care and would be pissed that the money wasn’t spent to help them in a meaningful way instead.
A team of quantum physicists from the University of Toronto has uncovered surprising evidence of “negative time” during an experiment with photons.
The researchers observed that photons, the basic particles of light, seemed to exit a material before entering it, defying conventional understanding of time. This phenomenon was observed as the photons traveled through a cloud of ultracold atoms, where their transit time appeared to conclude before the process that caused their interaction had even finished.
The findings challenge existing views on time in the quantum realm, suggesting that under certain conditions, time might not behave as we expect.
Is negative time in Toronto really that hard to find?
I’m thinking of its practical application in my life. Once this concept catches on, I could excuse, say, my tardiness with something like this: “Well, I wasn’t late. I was/am here.”
Here’s a real life example of the second arrow of time, the opposite of entropy…
This morning I put my dirty laundry in the washer and got balled-up socks from the dresser draw. I walked to a computer in the dining room to put them on. On the way, I impulsively threw the socks through the overhead space in this picture.
