If Our Consciousness Can Connect With the Universe.

The article discusses the Orchestrated Objective Reduction theory (Orch OR), which suggests that consciousness is a quantum process facilitated by microtubules in the brain's nerve cells. According to this theory, consciousness can connect with the entire universe through quantum waves that pass through these microtubules. While previous scientific thinking argued that the brain's warm and wet environment would prevent consciousness from remaining in superposition, new discoveries in quantum biology, such as the use of quantum properties in photosynthesis, suggest that microtubules in the brain may be capable of maintaining quantum coherence. Recent experiments have shown that excitations in microtubules can create quantum reactions that last longer than expected, providing promising data for the Orch OR theory.
