Super interesting! I watched an explainer last night about a theory that consciousness arises from space-time collapse quantum wave functions in microtubules.
The vast majority went straight over my head but the host stated that the theory was seen as completely insane by their peers and just recently it’s gaining credibility because of some new research in the past few weeks.
Is this theory what you're referring to? Just curious because it always seemed interesting to me but I'm not educated enough to even know how to approach the subject beyond going, "huh neat."
Yep that's the theory but the recent paper is this one. This is the youtube video I watched.

Any thoughts on this?
