Hameroff is a doctor who became interested in consciousness by reading Penrose's book and studying microtubules which he found fascinating. Yes their hypotheses was highly controversial from day one because it is more accomodating to spiritual approaches to consciousness. Like all other scientists and doctors in the world, they are not perfect. Because of them we know that there are quantum vibrations occuring in the microtubules of our brain and this has been proven and corroborated by three different groups of scientists. What ever you decide to make of it from there is up to you unless they prove something new. Currently there are no other theories of consciousness that have been proven.
Their notions don't work. You'd be dead if they did.
The theories that they are based upon are untested and don't actually exist, not to put to fine a point on it.
You know bubkis about what other theories of consciousness might have any evidence.
