Sean Carroll: Quantum Mechanics and the Many Worlds Interpretation (from 2020)
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: neuroscience, quantum physics
A groundbreaking study has provided experimental evidence suggesting a quantum basis for consciousness.
By demonstrating that drugs affecting microtubules within neurons delay the onset of unconsciousness caused by anesthetic gases, the study supports the quantum model over traditional classical physics theories. This quantum perspective could revolutionize our understanding of consciousness and its broader implications, potentially impacting the treatment of mental illnesses and our understanding of human connection to the universe.

Humans Are Evolving Right Before Our Eyes on The Tibetan Plateau
Posted by Dan Breeden in category: futurism
Humans are not yet done cooking. We’re continuing to evolve and adjust to the world around us, the records of our adaptations written in our bodies.
We know that there are some environments that can make us unwell. Mountain climbers often succumb to altitude sickness – the body’s reaction to a significant drop in atmospheric pressure which means less oxygen is taken in with each breath.
And yet, in high altitudes on the Tibetan Plateau, where oxygen levels in the air people breathe are notably lower than lower altitudes, human communities thrive.
