Can we assume that because QM descibes all physical systems (substance) at the atomic level, and our mind (brain) where consciousness occurs is substance, there maybe a connection between the two?
I draw you to
wiki Wrote:Quantum mind (QM) theories are based on the premise that quantum mechanics is necessary to fully understand the mind and brain, particularly concerning an explanation of consciousness. This approach is considered a minority opinion in science, although it does have the support of the well-known Roger Penrose, who has proposed a quantum mind theory in conjunction with Stuart Hameroff. Karl H. Pribram and Henry Stapp have also proposed variations.
For me the connection seems obvious.
But hey, once the world was flat.
Also, how did we get to god again?
