ORCH OR does rest on non-computable quantum processes as described, rather than on deterministic electrochemical processes.
While more generally accepted theories assert that consciousness emerges as the complexity of the computations performed by cerebral neurons increases,[4][5] Orch OR posits that consciousness is based on non-computable quantum processing performed by qubits formed collectively on cellular microtubules, a process significantly amplified in the neurons.
The qubits are based on oscillating dipoles forming superposed resonance rings in helical pathways throughout lattices of microtubules.
It wasn’t. The publications you cite are small ones whose research doesn’t support your claim. Not to mention they’re sorta wrong in their experiment since the source behind Alzheimer’s is actually in our guts and it was big news years ago.
Like…you don’t understand anything. Quantum effects don’t impact the brain and is considered pseudoscience. Quantum consciousness is woo.
Really and you are expert enough to judge her acumen? I have cited exactly 2 of her videos and one of those was her lament on the difficulty and politics of getting grants.
For a while there I was interested in your “observations”. But alas, you are just another “rebel without a cause”.
Of course is it is. 500 years ago, it was God’s will. It’s taken this long to change the name. At least our focus is on something that can be fixed, something real.
“She is just no good” You ought to be ashamed! Perhaps you’re just no good.!
That is the judgment of totally uninformed mind.
If you are so well informed, enlighten us about what Dr Hossenfelder is not good at.
Doctor Sabine Hossenfelder.
PHYSICIST
(Research - Sabine Hossenfelder)
Sabine has published more than 80 research papers in the foundations of physics, from cosmology to quantum foundations and particle physics.
AUTHOR
(Books - Sabine Hossenfelder)
Sabine’s writing has appeared, among others, in Scientific American, Nautilus, The New York Times, and The Guardian. Her second book is about to be published soon.
CONTENT CREATOR
(Videos - Sabine Hossenfelder)
Sabine is Creative Director of the YouTube channel “Science without the gobbledygook” where she talks about recent scientific developments and debunks hype.
On Youtube she has 1.3 million subscribers, because she is no good?
She’s sorta known for being bad on the science among other really bad takes. Her video on capitalism is pretty bad for misunderstanding how the market actually works, and the video she made on trans people was…well miserable.
Subscriber count doesn’t mean you’re good. I feel like that’s a given. Critical Drinker has over 1 mil subs yet his media analysis amounts to little more than “woke bad”. It’s not that cut and dry obviously but if you watch his videos it’s very evident he just doesn’t like movies because they’re “woke”.
no you’re just uninformed, as is evident from pretty much every thread you post on. like I mentioned before, information without comprehension and analysis is just noise.
Oh. She’s sorta known. Well. Why didn’t you say so?
You’ve gone from a helpless butterfly, struggling to have its first flight to a crabby old crab picking up cigarette butts on a Florida beach somewhere. What happened?
For one you cite Sabine, which is always a red flag and a guy (Penrose) whose theory has shown to be incorrect and pseudoscience.
The sources you use are also less than reputable.
Never mind that none of this has anything to do with the original post I made either and this isn’t the first thread where that’s the case. That’s why you’re ignored.
You cite fringe theories and back them with shaky sources and less than reputable scientists. There isn’t any reason to take you seriously.
And that is precisely why Hossenfelder complained about lack of research funding of new science.
If you wonder about my knowledge of current science, look up “super radiance” in the brain’s neural network, that allows for quantum processes in brain neurons as predicted by Penrose and Hameroff.
Researchers Discover Protective Quantum Effect In The Brain
The study focused on tryptophan, an amino acid found in many biological structures, including neurons in the brain. When arranged in large, symmetrical networks, tryptophan molecules exhibit a quantum property called “superradiance,” where they fluoresce stronger and faster than they would independently. This collective behavior is typically not expected in larger, warm, and “noisy” biological environments.
