If what Penrose is saying is true, then under those conditions, shouldn't there be a massive disruption of consciousness and memory formation during the scan ?Yeah, I mentioned that to Everena above but she decided to ignore it. I'm thinking loss of consciousness at best. More likely complete decoherence and severing of the soul.
Hmmm ... I've read hundreds, if not thousands of brain MRI reports. I don't think I ever once read that a patient complained about any sort of memory disruption.
And if we're receiving our consciousness from elsewhere, why does it all seem to be conscious of right here and now? Rather than some distant galaxy or some other dimension or somesuch?
