Introduction to Cosmological Concepts The Big Bang and the Concept of ‘Before’ The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model that describes the early development of the Universe. According to this theory, the Universe expanded from an extremely hot and dense singularity approximately 13.8 billion years ago. This singularity marks the edge of our […]

Sir Roger Penrose’s Alternative Cosmology
The discussion revolves around cosmology, specifically an alternative model of the universe that challenges traditional views on the Big Bang and the universe’s evolution. The speaker, who refers to his idea as “crazy,” suggests that instead of a singular Big Bang, the universe might be cyclical, with each cycle or “eon” starting with a Big […]
“New Clues to the Basics of Conscious Mentality” by Roger Penrose
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 […]
Cosmic Origins from Astrophysics
Introduction to Cosmic Origins The philosophical dilemma of creation from nothing The quest to understand the origins of the universe inevitably leads us to a profound philosophical conundrum: how did everything come into existence from nothing? This question has perplexed thinkers and scholars for centuries, intertwining cosmology with philosophy and theology. The concept of creatio […]
Cosmic Enigmas and Black Holes
Introduction to Cosmic Enigmas and Black Holes The Universe as a Closed System The cosmos is often conceptualized as a vast, boundless expanse, but in scientific terms, it can be considered a closed system. This perspective is crucial when discussing the laws of physics, particularly thermodynamics, as it pertains to the universe. Within this closed […]
brain science: nulling readiness potential on free will and quantum consciousness – DataDrivenInvestor
The Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) theory, developed by Nobel Laureate Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, is an attempt to explain consciousness through physics and biology. This theory suggests that consciousness arises from quantum computations in microtubules within neurons, influenced by gravity-induced wave function collapse. These collapses are thought to generate proto-conscious events, which […]
A Super-Simple, Non-Quantum Theory of Eternal Consciousness – Scientific American
Consciousness is something that attracts attention from scientists and philosophers in a quest to come up with a precise definition. Some argue that it is a reflection of our mind, and as such will go to great length to refute the notion that our mind is secondary to matter. In a recent paper, even an […]
Can Consciousness Be Explained by Quantum Physics? New Research – Singularity Hub
Physicist Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff theorized that consciousness should obey the rules of Quantum Mechanics. Our brains are comprised of neurons which in turn contain microtubules that are structured in a fractal pattern. Fractals permit complexity to emerge from simple repeated patterns. Advanced technology, including a scanning tunneling microscope, now makes it possible […]
TEDx Brussels 2010 – Stuart Hameroff – Do we have a quantum Soul?
Stuart Hameroff – Do we have a quantum Soul? I like to watch all of Dr. Hameroff’s interviews and lectures, and I’ve been trying to figure out a good excuse to go to the The Center for Consciousness Studies at the UA to check it out. I totally think he’s onto something. When I first […]
Scientists Discovered What Happens After Death: Consciousness Moves To Another Universe?
Biocentrism to Microtubules and Orch OR Follow along as the YouTube Channel “The Universe Inside You” does a great job at connecting the dots between Dr. Robert Lanza’s Biocentrism and Dr. Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose’s Orch OR Theory. This is a basic and very well explained account of the kind of thinking going […]
