| | | | | Last year, in a series of posts, I gave you a tour of quantum field theory, telling you some of what weunderstand and some of what we don't. I still haven't told you the role that string theory plays inquantum field theory today, but I am going to give you a brief tour of string... | |

| | | | | The hole argument in general relativity is formally analogous to the inverted qualia problem in philosophy. Like how spacetime points have no existence beyond gauge freedom, qualias have no existence beyond their geometric-functional roles, thus dissolving the hard problem of consciousness. | |

| | | Stuart Hameroff's research involves a theory of consciousness developed over the past 20 years with eminent British physicist Sir Roger Penrose. Called 'orchestrated objective reduction' ('Orch OR'), it suggests consciousness arises from quantum vibrations in protein polymers called microtubules inside the brain's neurons, vibrations which interfere, 'collapse' and resonate across scale, control neuronal firings, generate consciousness, and connect ultimately to 'deeper order' ripples in spacetime geometry. Consciousness is more like music than computation. | ||
