Ohio State professor challenges classical view of consciousness – OSU – The Lantern

At first thought, you would not expect a professor of international politics and security to be interested in research exploring our consciousness. Yet this is exactly what is happening at the OSU. The book that has just been published presented a decade worth of research by professor Wendt. He explains that his interest in quantum science and its basis for our consciousness started quite by accident, as he was browsing books on this topic in Chicago, more than a decade ago.

Key Takeaways:

• Alexander Wendt believes that quantum physics, not classical physics, is the best basis for social science.
• Quantum consciousness is the assumption that consciousness is generated from quantum vibrations inside neurons of the brain.
• Ultimately, Wendt would like to create an interdisciplinary quantum social science program.

“Wendt said that around that time, in the early 2000s, the greater academic community dismissed quantum consciousness as nonsense.”
