Roger Penrose wrote that ‘ the nature of consciousness suggests a quantum process’. Many biophysicists try to understand the brain’s work using Quantum theory. And I ask: Is it possible to understand brain’s work without electron? =. Book ‘The quantum self ’by Danah Zohar. # Physicist and photon are involved in a creative dialogue . . . / page 29/ ‘. . . there is a vital link between thought processes and quantum processes, between ourselves and electrons’. / page 59/ ‘. . . the philosophical and psychological consequences of such a close bond between the dinamics of the self and those of the electron’ / page 60/ Oxford’s Roger Penrose: ‘ Quantum physics . . . quantum correlations could be playing an operative role over large regions of the brain’. / page 61 / ‘ . . biophysicists . . . discovered that nerve cells in the human brain are sufficiently sensitive to register the absorption of a single photon . . .’ / page 61 / ‘ It was clear in our discussion of the possibility that electrons might be conscious. / page 78 / ‘ . . if electrons are conscious, we then have to say that they have a mind/ body problem’. / page 79 / ‘ Even when disclaimers like ‘very primitive, ‘elementary’ or ‘ proto-‘ are used to discuss the consciousness of electrons . . . .’. / page 79 / ‘ . . . the idea that consciousness itself arises out of a coherent ordering of virtual photon relationships in the brain’s quantum system.’ / page 80 /
‘ Our human consciousness, therefore, is not different in kind from that associated with more elementary life forms or with elementary matter, but is different in degree and complexity.’ / page 86 / BTW, ‘ . . . when we speak of consciousness we speak of ‘ property’ . .. . . .at least to some degree. . . ..’ ‘ . . .many states and degrees of consciousness. ‘ / page 37 / / Book ‘The quantum self ’ by Danah Zohar. / ==========.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Epistemology" group.
