Sir Dr. Roger Penrose spook April 4, 2012 at ETH Zurich where he was awarded the Richard R. Ernst Medal. In this video Dr. Roger Penrose offers his interpretation of the Quantum Conundrum. Dr. Penrose describes the conundrum as a paradox which he applies his own solution to bridge. From Quantum foundations to microtubules he […]

CONSCIOUSNESS: A conversation with Deepak Chopra and Stuart Hameroff
Dr. Chopra through his YouTube channel “The Chopra Well” has a conversation with Dr. Stewart Hameroff regarding the relationship of the conscious experience and Quantum Mechanics. Dr. Stewart Hameroff is a practicing physician of Anesthesiologist, Professor of Anesthesiology and Psychology, and Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Dr Fred Alan Wolf’s Biography
Dr Fred Alan Wolf is an American physicist who specializes in quantum physics. His love of physics goes back to his childhood when he saw the first atomic bomb explode via newsreels throughout the media. His curiosity coupled with an intelligent brain made it possible for him to learn how physics and consciousness work together […]
Dr. John Hagelin, Ph.D.’s Biography
Dr. John Hagelin, PhD. John Hagelin is a quantum physicist who is best known for his theory that consciousness is the same as the material field we see around us, or that consciousness directly impacts the universe we see around us through quantum mechanics. This theory is called the grand unified theory, and is […]
“The Primacy of Consciousness” by Peter Russell
Dr. Peter Russell suggests the Primacy of Consciousness Dr. Peter Russell once again brings his knowledge of consciousness into a lecture for all to watch. He focuses on what conscious is and how we can explain it. He starts the video discussing different theories of what consciousness is and the different definitions that people adhere […]
“Consciousness as an Anomaly” by Dr. Peter Russell
Peter Russell the futurist gives us a great explanation of how to begin to understand Consciousness as a genuine anomaly like Einstein excepted light having a finite velocity as a genuine anomaly to give us Relativity.
Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness: A New Measurement By Dr. Bernard Haisch
So, are we the master or matter of our ship? Well everything from physics indicates that to matter we have to master!
The best thing we can do for yourself then is get acquainted with the subject of Consciousness becoming a part of Physics possibly the main player.
To do that you can watch Dr. Bernard Haisch’s video above and you can help by leaving not only your comments below but also your questions so that I can work on answering them in future posts.
Those actions will make us all wiser therefore more of a master and then we’ll definitely matter!
Something from Nothing by Fred Alan Wolf
“Something from Nothing” explains Physicist Fred Alan Wolf is how Quantum Mechanics is leading us to a time when the relationship between the objective physical and the subjective individual is starting to be fudged!
Quantum Mechanics is used to account for the sub atomic quantum mechanical level of life having both wave and particle properties at the same time. To do this Quantum mechanics incorporates probability statistics to describe what’s there at that level. However, being only probabilities means that it is only a field of possibilities or probabilities and not actual or physical. In other words it’s “Nothing”.
It doesn’t become actual or physical until an observer collapses the wave function of probabilities to a certainty.
Nothing becomes Something!

“Species Universe: Discovering the Universe as a Species” by John Zettel
Species Universe addresses the consequences of the Quantum Conundrum pointing to the equation of the observer and the observed as gaining expression in such movies as “Mindwalk” and “What The Bleep Do We Know”.
The consequence of equating the observer to the observed requires a new paradigm different than the materialistic paradigm of Western culture which emphasized materialism over the observer leaving out the reality that we are a part of the Universal experience and what that means.
In Species Universe I invite you to come and explore with me the implications of equating the observer to the observed through the act of observation and the remarkable direction it is taking us!
“Consciousness and Microtubules” by Dr. Stuart Hameroff
In order to have a conscious experience the brain has to be more than a computer. Dr. Stuart Hameroff explains consciousness as an aspect of Quantum Mechanics. Dr. Hameroff draws on the work of Dr. Roger Penrose pointing to finding a mechanism that would allow for non computability; i.e., free will. To do this Dr. Roger Penrose points to a need for a Quantum Gravity mechanism or a Quantum Computer mechanism in the brain.
Dr. Stuart Hameroff has found what is called microtubulars within neurons in the brain and nervous system as the possible location for where Quantum Computation takes place. Microtubulars seem to be small enough to incorporate super positioning making Quantum Computations possible.
Follow Dr. Stuart Hameroff on his search for understanding how and why we are conscious.
