An intimate lecture with renowned mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Dr. Stuart Hameroff, followed by a conversation with The Science Network co-founder Roger Bingham. Co-organized by The Penrose Institute and the UC San Diego Institute for Neural Computation, with the support of Intheon, Neocortex Ventures, and the Data Science Alliance.
Sir Roger Penrose and Dr. Stuart Hameroff discuss one of the leading theories of consciousness recently selected by the Templeton Foundation for study.
Is the brain a sophisticated computer or an intuitive thinking device? Following on from their conference in Tucson which pitted Integrated Information Theory (IIT) against Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR), Sir Roger Penrose OM and Stuart Hameroff discuss the current state of theories that might explain human consciousness.
Sir Roger Penrose describe examples of ‘non-computability’ in human consciousness, thoughts and actions such as the way we evaluate particular chess positions which cast doubt on ‘Turing’ computation as a complete explanation of brain function. As a source of non-computability, Roger discuss his ‘objective reduction’ (‘OR’) self-collapse of the quantum wavefunction which is a potential resolution for the ‘measurement problem’ in quantum mechanics, and a mechanism for non-computable physics.
Dr. Stuart Hameroff reviews neuronal and biophysical aspects of Orch OR, in which ‘orchestrated’ quantum vibrations occur among entangled brain microtubules and evolve toward Orch OR threshold and consciousness. The nature, feasibility, decoherence times and evidence for quantum vibrations in microtubules, their role and correlation with consciousness, effects upon them of anesthetic gases and psychedelic drug molecules will be discussed, along with Orch OR criticisms and predictions of microtubule quantum vibrations as therapeutic targets for mental and cognitive disorders.
Biography: Sir Roger Penrose OM FRS, Emeritus Professor at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford, Emeritus Fellow at Wadham College, and winner of the Wolf Prize in Physics, has made profound contributions across a broad range of scientific disciplines. His work encompasses geometry, black hole singularities, the unification of quantum mechanics and gravity, the structure of space-time, and the origin of our Universe. His geometric creations inspired the works of Escher, and the Penrose steps have been featured in several movies. His tilings adorn many public buildings, including the Oxford Mathematics Institute, and will soon decorate the San Francisco Transbay Terminal. The five-fold symmetry, initially thought impossible or a mathematical curiosity, has now been found in nature. In 1989 Penrose wrote The Emperor’s New Mind which challenged the premise that consciousness is computation and proposes we need new physics to understand it.
Biography: Stuart Hameroff MD is an anesthesiologist at the University of Arizona in Tucson. In the mid 1990s Hameroff teamed with famed British physicist Sir Roger Penrose to develop a quantum theory of consciousness (‘orchestrated objective reduction’, ‘Orch OR’) based on microtubule quantum computing. Highly controversial and harshly criticized, Orch OR is now supported by evidence, e.g. that anesthetics act in quantum channels in microtubules, and that microtubules have multi-scalar resonances, e.g. in megahertz. He and anesthesiology colleagues performed and published the first clinical trial of transcranial ultrasound (‘TUS’) on mental states in human volunteers, showing mood enhancement from brief, low intensity TUS. Beginning in 1994 Hameroff was the lead in starting an interdisciplinary, international conference series ‘Toward a Science of Consciousness’ held in even-numbered years in Tucson, and odd-numbered years elsewhere around the world. Hameroff has written or edited 5 books, over a hundred scientific articles and book chapters, lectured around the world, and appeared in the film ‘WhattheBleep?’ and numerous TV shows about consciousness on BBC, PBS, Discovery, OWN and History Channel.
Biography: Roger Bingham is the Cofounder and Director of The Science Network (thesciencenetwo...) and a member of the Computational Neurobiology Laboratory at the Salk Institute and the Institute for Neural Computation, UC San Diego. He is the co-author of The Origin of Minds: Evolution, Uniqueness, and the New Science of the Self, and the creator and host of Emmy award-winning PBS science programs on evolutionary psychology and cognitive neuroscience, including the critically acclaimed series The Human Quest. He is the Founding Director of the Collaboratory, a Center within INC, which is developing a Science In Society program of public and student engagement to explore and bridge the chasm between the creators and consumers of science and technology. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Sir Roger Penrose and Dr. Stuart Hameroff: Thank you for being awesome! Thank you for keeping an example of academia that is kind and true. There's great love for you from so many who are starved. God bless.
God doesn't exist you muppet
Transparencies in a Power Point. Fantastic. I am pleased with the additional entropy increase in the universe required to pull that off.
I hope Penrose lives many years more, he is a gift for humanity :)
ditto.
Amen
He won the Nobel a Prize
Well said!
Into his 100s, I hope. Ten more years, come on Penrose! Sure has the energy for it.
His contribution is very unique. He picks up the points other scientists most likely
discard. ー godlikenessー
As he talks, he takes leaps in thought that are like a challenge to others to follow.
But what IS IT in the space-time substrate that micro tubules can interact WITH to produce consciousness? Universal consciousness?
Consciousness is the primary creator as its all a big dream these people Penrose et al have everything back to front:
th-cam.com/video/v2Xsp4FRgas/w-d-xo.html
These two dudes might actually be on to something, how remarkable
they are but it has nothing to do with the phenomenon of consciousness studied by Cognitive Science.....
@@nickolasgaspar9660 Yes, it is literally about consciousness.
@@squamish4244 not the mental states of our Brain studied and explained by Neuroscience.
@@squamish4244 to clarify. They are talking about Consciousness like philosophers in the past used to talk about combustion.
In both cases, (combustion and Consciousness) they weren't interested in describing an observable causal mechanism, but a imaginary "overarching" substance.
In the case of consciousness these guys use the same name, in the case of combustion the buzz word was Phlogiston.
Our established scietific paradigm no longer assumes the existence of magical substances or realms. We learn from.out errors of the past and we keep science purely descriptive.
Assuming alternative realms of reality or magical substances (without Objective evidence) can never be part of our Scientific approach!
@@nickolasgaspar9660 thats pure polemic. The problem is that the neuro science paradigm (which is not the modern science paradigm as such as you state) has a problem as it wouldnt exist without some things it cannot explain at all (but claims to do). Its more a kind of ideology one could say that forgot from where it came namely a speculative analogy (sic! no scientific method..) to computing machines which is deconstructed by one of its inventors itself, von Neumann in his later days. But it still generates a lot of funding money so better dont ask deeper questions... the computing machines that paradigm is deduced from is the turing machine which was the answer to gödel and the problem what „computable“ means then. So in his 1937 paper turing invented his machine model explicitely in opposition to and with the help from some kinda skill that logic machines cannot perform and that led him to the idea of his machine model. He called that skill „intuition“ by the way and penrose gave some similar examples when he showed that it is quite easy to find answers to (logics) questions only with a pen and a paper the most advanced computing machines of our days cannot solve at all. This suggests strongly that something is wrong there and that the real metaphysics lays on the field of that kind of paradigmatic (or should I say dogmatic?) neuro science as it is todays mainstream. Indeed I do not know any other natural science which can give so little precise answers or predictions or mechanisms about the field they claim to explain. A hand full of loose suppositions within decades of research thats it..
The question isn’t how the brain creates consciousness, as Hameroff says in the Q&A when he warns not to put words in his mouth about emergence...as he says consciousness is fundamental and like gravity, can be localized but is a unified concept at its root. The question is how the brain is operating to give consciousness a finite perspective on the infinite.
If given the choice between truth and beauty (when pursuing physics), choose truth.
Isn't beauty in some ways a truth that we don't understand but that we appreciate?
How much intelligence does it take for the organizer of the event or numerous aids to realize the speaker would have to stand in an uncomfortable and awkward pose given the position of the audience and the projector screen?
If consciousness is a kind of enery flowing through microtubules, could it leave a scar that could be seen?
Me pretending to understand the maths: "mhm mhm.. of course"
wow i love the way this guy thinks
26:02 and he is also an artist , Wow
The diagram forty two minutes in is identical to one of my own, except where he has "space-time" mine was "relationship with girlfriend".
Your tile patter is nice but fails on the perimeter. Mabe if the floor was the same shape of the tile!
“A simple organism has fewer conscious moments-“ - could it be said that simple organism is less soul infused than an organism with a more complex array of microtubules?
This is what prime time network television should look like. (Edit: Should have looked like)
great minds think alike (i hope) i just posted a similar comment on eric weinsteins interview with penrose, i tell people i had a comprehensive school education, but most of my brain expansion was down to watching open university programs at 2AM, if we could ditch reality tv and replace it with this king of stuff, maybe a little more low brow, then i wonder what the world would look like.
@@HarryNicNicholas It would look just as bad almost (setting aside the negative impacts and suggestions of reality TV/junk TV and fiction) as you can't solve any economic, social, political, health, emotional, psychological problems with some theoretical speculations about supposed physical nature of consciousness.... Society is governed by ideology/philosophy/religion....not by theoretical sciences...they don't produce any system, laws, morality, ideology or philosophy. In fact such attempts to explain everything away on the basis of a materialist belief is a major contributor to the problems of individual and society. If you eliminate one option from the beginning on the basis of philosophical/social/emotional/ideological motives or prejudice, then you are putting a false filter on your analysis and conclusions...so it is not only unscientific, but more importantly, irrational. But if there were deeper education in all spheres, in mainstream education, media etc...dealing with fundamental questions, purpose, nature of fundamental reality etc...then it should lead to deeper conclusions and lives of more substance, individually and collectively. The current education system and media tends to stop people from thinking deeply.
Great comment
Good luck. This is what the internet is for.
Most people out there are too dumb for that.They make a good living at it.

I love that this guy draws his own visuals. He doesn't need any flash... and is astounding. What a treasure.
I'm more impressed by his math and physics than his drawings, I must admit.
Looking at his manual presentation, I was feeling bad for him thinking about how some people will judge the book by the cover...
Not that the drawings and colored text are bad, but I could have done that when 7 yo!
Yes I love his slides
Absolute genius. Once in a century mind.
Just won the Nobel prize
Once in a Universe mind probably. He takes us all to school.
@@peregrineweal Same with hawking
Indian Adi guru Shankarachaarya and our Ancient scientists know this for more than 5000 years.If you read Bhagwat geeta you will come to know.👍
Ridiculous.
So incredible to see Professor Penrose win the Nobel Prize.
One of the greatest minds.
I know I'm so proud of him he's work so hard so diligently & as a master scientist for many years, it's about time ! 😄
It was incredible to me that he got one only this year. Some of his groundbreaking research opened entire new areas of science and technology. To name a couple, Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse matrix (ubiquitous in science and technology) and Penrose tilings in quasicrystals (note the 2011 Nobel prize).
I prefer the mind of his brother Jonathan who held the record for winning the British Chess Championship a record number of times, at times in Britain he was unbeatable and much-lauded by chess players everywhere.
No, he is not a great thinker. He's not honest either.
@@frankdimeglio8216 interesting, what makes you disagree and say that?
Sir Roger is brilliant. Dr Hameroff gives surprisingly clear explanations.
It’s makes an incredible amount of sense
I watched this while I'm reading The Entropy Law and the Economic Process by Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen. There has to be some synthesis between these two concepts. One of GRs points is about the non-computabity of thermodynamic systems and the need for novel mutations in genomes for organisms to be able to adapt to a qualitatively changing environment. He then extends this to economics trying to model them thermodynamically similar to ecological systems. Gonna finish reading that and then watch this lecture a few more times. I feel like understanding and evolution might share a non-computable origin. If anyone else is interested in talking with me about this leave me a comment. Everyone should read GRs book regardless.
You better read "Life on the Edge" by JohnJoe McFadden - a 2016 award-winning quantum biology book. It mentions Hameroff and Penrose a bit (but not their latest corroborations of the model).
Isn't economics biggest problem its need to be 'scientific'? it s like trying to predict human behavior. It can often be explained, but not predicted.
@@lordemed1 I mean yeah that is a huge problem with science and economics. Science itself is materialist and doesn't actually bother trying to explain quantum or thermodynamic or biological or social systems. But if you view those systems as self similar layers of the Great Mystery fractal, then economics based on thermodynamics is going to parallel many ideas from social and behavioral economics. In the end, thermodynamics, economics, ecology, and the way we treat the planet comes down to knowing our place and role in evolving systems. Indigenous people everywhere knew/know their role in evolving systems. They had and continue to fight to preserve entire cultures based around that knowledge. Civilization and dominator culture come from entitlement and the willing refusal to acknowledge our role as symbiotes part of an evolving system
@you know me I think their Orch OR model is likely to be a close fit to the real world. I'm not an expert. If you're really interested in consciousness I suggest meditation and magic mushrooms
No, I am not.
"Life is a Quantum process" Stuart Hameroff nailed it.Love from Sweden
Consciousness certainly seems to be. I think the Buddha nailed it. LIFE is "Dukkha" lol.
That's the same statement as "life is a chemical process".
Never seen the two of them together, following OrchOR for almost a decade now!
A
well they have different interpretations on the phenomenon.
Anthony Peake writes about OrchOr in his books and argues that we live the same life over and over again which fits in with Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence and it seems some of the greatest minds in the world have had something to say about it. James Joyce Finnigan's wake is a good example:
“His chapter (James Joyce ) on The Eternal Return is full of examples of people
exploring the idea and it goes way back in history and was explored by people in both the Orient and Occident.
Its interesting that Mary Queen of Scots who was a devout Catholic had the words Ma Fin est Mon Commencment embroidered in the Chair of State at Holyrood Palace in Scotland it translates as "my beginning is my end".
"Many writers Byron, Shelly, Ts Eliot, Joyce explored this idea in fact Finnigan's wake starts and ends in a circle of time.
opens with:
riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve to shore to bend of bay, brings us by a
commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
ends in: A way a lone last a loved a long the
If you look closely it becomes very interesting Joyce starts the novel off with a lower case letter and ends it with the word the, when you juxtaposition end and beginning you get:
A way a lone last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve to
shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodious vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
Clearly, this is deliberate Joyce is showing us that life itself is circular and its real
nature the Eternal Return. He skilfully used puns and wordplay to reinforce the idea, he was heavily influenced by Vico the Italian Philosopher. Hence the cryptic
reference with word vicus in the opening gambit. The word Fin and Again ending
and beginning and gives us the name Finnegan.
Without wishing to spoil the book for those who have not read it Tim Finnegan is a hard-drinking hod-carrier who falls from a ladder breaking his skull. The wake held after his funeral the mourners get rowdy and spill whiskey on Tim's head bringing the corpse back to life. Whiskey here denotes the water of life it kills him and miraculously brings him back to life."
Anthony Peake
@@samrowbotham8914 so essentially your argument is " 0+0+0+0+0....+0=1"
Its nice chronicling on people's comforting beliefs through history but everything boils down to one thing. Do you have the unit(1) to justify your equation? Are there any objective evidence supportive of this death denying ideology.
How can we jump from a quantum mechanism of the brain to immortality of the mind?
What about the mountain of evidence pointing to the emergent nature of our conscious states rounded on the total sum of our brain functions.
Should we ignore logic and objective evidence just to ease our existential anxieties.?
@@nickolasgaspar9660 I think you need to look into Idealism I would suggest the books of Bernardo Kastrup. Consciousness is not emerging it is primary and everything else emanates from it. You are probably ignorant of the research of the late Dr John Lorber who found over 100 people born with a congenital condition called 'extreme hydranencephaly', these people are born without the brain which proves beyond all doubt that consciousness is not an epiphenomenon of the brain and that alone blows Materialism clean out of the water. Here is another doctor talking about a child with the condition who was his patient:
“Hydranencephaly is very common - we see several cases a year at our university hospital - but there's a tremendous difference between having a regional area of brain male development, and having a condition called extreme hydranencephaly, where there is NO DEFINABLE residual brain tissue.”
Dr Robert Leshner who is Professor of paediatric neurology at the Medical
College Virginia US.
Stuart alludes to Lorber's work at the 1:42 mark Lorber was not at Oxford but at Sheffield University if these people have any neurons they are in the brain stem and also in the gut. I agree with people like Lipton who argues that every cell is conscious.
This short video nails it for me and of course the Gnostics knew this 2000 years ago:
th-cam.com/video/v2Xsp4FRgas/w-d-xo.html
A question: whether the anesthesia is really turning-off the consciousness, or its just turning-off/dampening the tubules, thereby just restricting the `access' (of the consciousness) to trigger the neurons ? And the so called consciousness is very much intact..
Like sleep mode on a pc? And dreams are the screen savers 🤣
Amazing, he even said about psychedelics enhancing counsciousness and that it can be detected with quantum experiments. Amazing,
Oh, wow...! I forgot how much I loved Penrose's hand drawn slides!
He is so cool!
If only this information was available when I studied psychology and philosophy in college 20 years ago. This is the most exciting and compelling theory I've ever seen.
the information was available, I've been reading Penrose since the 1980's.
90 with a sharp mind... wow 😯
It's interesting how many physicists go after Penrose's collaborator Stuart Hameroff, the anaesthesiologist, in debates, but none (to my knowledge) will challenge Penrose himself. He is so intimidating that everyone is scared of him. I think he's the finest mind in physics today, and I hope he lives to 100 to continue spreading his ideas.
Penrose continues to spread his LIES & atheism… Forcefully pushing his ATHEISTIC liberal agenda at universities. It’s total nonsense, all this science jargon. None of it can be proven in a lab, merely wild speculation. It makes me sick to my stomach… 😷🤢🤮
Enter Chat: Edward Witten
@@GabbargaamadaWitten is a scam artist lol
I only have a gcse in mathematics but I find this fascinating. I like the way roger penrose explains concepts instead of just baffling you with maths language I would never be able to understand.
Stuart hameroff is amazing!
You have to be smart to understand some things, but it takes a genius to explain them well.
A lecture without an introduction but a background of the speakers in the notes? Someone has finally figured it out.
There’s a superspreader in the audience coughing their guts up
Penrose presentation slides, like his book illustrations, are fantastic.
This video, filmed in 2020, is a breath of fresh air for those who have been trying to keep up with the views of these authors over their long and oft-contested evolution. Neuropsychologists have tried to find the basis of consciousness for three decades. One of the great physicists, Oxford Professor Roger Penrose, demonstrates that it may begin in proto-conscious. That brings it down to a physical level, since proto-conscious elements may be arising all the time in dynamic physical systems, like the atmosphere. Penrose and Stuart Hameroff, M.D., argue that this shows something is wrong with quantum theory. To solve what's wrong, they say you must go back to the Schrödinger equation, à la the half-dead/half-alive cat. Schrödinger conjured up his familiar fictional feline to show this is untenable, rendering his own theory absurd. Prof. Penrose believes that QM isn't just incomplete, it needs a good stiff fix.
Science has never defined energy. So God help us with consciousness.
Quantum geliciousness is inside Pi-Stock, proteins and especially microtubules, extending the full length all the way around "so life may turn out to be a Quantum System" -Dr. Stuart Hameroff lolol lol lolll !!
Dr. Hameroff is surprisingly clear and accessible in his explanations.
All consciousness and awareness of living things seems to include having a kind of "will", and, for humans at least, a sensation of its being "my" will and a "free" will. Whether it really is a free will is a separate question. If the Schroedinger probabilties are modified by a distinctive free nonphysical self, then it is a free will. If they are synchronized in a physically observable but Schroedinger-inexplicable way, then they are presumably evidence of a distinctive free nonphysical something that does this, and that feels itself to be a distinctive self Althought the distinctiveness could still be an optical illusion, or rather a sensation illusion; it could just be a local bit of a larger hive self or a universal self.
great lecture! May I suggest focusing the camera more on the slides, esp the complex ones, that way the viewer can better connect what the speaker is saying to the details in the slides
Summarizing my take away: Consciousness is fundamental and the brain, through micro-tubuli connects to it, right? Consciousness as a fundamental field? Very, very interesting to listen to these two top scientists. Even if one day science will be able to explain consciousness, the mystery of life will be even more amazing and the question will probably be: How is it possible that all this came into play? From nothing, by coincidence? Excellent session even for laymen like me.
Not exactly, no. We did an experiment in physical chemistry that was a particle in a box. It was just a dye, but molecules where electrons can flow freely across them due to pi-pi orbital overlapping are a quantum mechanical system. The molecule is the box and the electron is the particle. But this is more of a tautology on the behavior of molecular orbitals. Molecular orbitals span large parts of a molecule if not the entire thing, and they arise from all the orbitals of atoms lining up and touching each other. This makes it so there is no defined location of an electron, it's just a cloud and the electrons are fluctuating across the molecule. So, with microtibules you have something similar going on. The tubes are quantum mechanical systems. They aren't interacting with any kind of field of consciousness, that we know of. These guys want to develop new science to prove that there is a field of consciousness generated by the microtubules and that the process by which this occurs supercedes quantum mechanics.

Children are property of their parents, and I do not interface with children I do so with their parents. If their parents want to take what adults say and repackage it, that is on them to do.

Consciousness is a reflection of light through oxygen between 2 mirrors, like when a doctor looks for Consciousness in a patient's eyes
so many of ye sheeple have 'consciousness' all figured out ... amazing
Dr. Penrose is brilliant and one of the few physicists looking in right direction.
He is trying BUT lots of lecturing but he HAS to do his own experiments and proofs and so far.... we are still looking... but I don't think so... time is running out. he is getting too old.
How do you know he is looking in the "right direction"?
@@kundakaps he makes sense. When l read The Emperor's New Mind l found one who was explaining my views on consciousness not being computation.

This is such a big deal.
Thanks lot to great work done by Sir Roger Penrose & Dr. Stuart Hameroff
psychedelics are the bridge to the quantum network and they need to be measured better as they'll reveal the secrets of time, space, and energy. Phenomena described by science about the quantum state can be observed with your eyes under these states and if a computer recorded the phenomena and measured them against the changes happening in real time and space they would start to understand what many mathematicians have been trying to describe with numbers for centuries. quantum gateways at different resonances and abilities to communicate instantly with any other particle in the universe simultaneously without having to travel through time and space as the coupling is a web of energy that is present since the big bang and bridges all matter.
You don't need psychedelics to access the quantum network, everyone is born with the innate ability to access this state of consciousness at any time.
Sterling Cooley is meditation the best way?
Pat McEleney Meditation and priming at the two best ways to access this higher level of consciousness.
sorry but no. drugs may alter conciousness, but they never expand it, your perception may alter, but reality doesn't. lsd might spark a new thought, but the new thought belongs to the brain, not the drug.
@@HarryNicNicholas check out the latest darpa podcasts and work the royal institute is doing in the UK with pyschedelics and studying magnetic fields in the brain. It may sound like drug speak but this is a current field of study in electrical engineering and quantum consciousness using psychedelics as tools for the new sensors.
Fantastic to see these two together. I think their Orch-OR theory is the only one that that makes consciousness something we can experiment with and study. Of course, it leads in directions that many scientists are unhappy with, because it definitively ties consciousness to the nature of the universe, and some neurologists and physicists fear where that takes us. But I believe that what Orch-OR offers us is not only the explanation (at least in part) for consciousness, but also for the nature of reality itself. It may well be that once we find the answer to "what is consciousness?" it might bring us answers to some of the fundamental questions about the wider universe.
Consciousness being fundamental tothe universe vs being a 'byproduct' of life on this planet seems to be a real dividing line for scientists.
@@lordemed1 I think these questions fall under the remit of philosophy rather than broader science. Philosophy is where the human mind goes in the absence of knowledge.
If we knew that the mind was contained in the microtubules, then we might be able to look there and see what we find, and then the answer as to how it all works might be revealed.
It may give a coherent explanation for observed parapsychological phenomena
@@Untefelehrr All sorts of things might suddenly swim into focus. When I wrote that comment I never anticipated that in so short a time we would be surrounded by AI. I think we have a great chance of soon discovering if the Orch-OR theory bears any fruit.
Penrose maybe very intelligent, but he's a very bad teacher. Hameroff keeps it organized but simple and that's more like a teacher. I hope both live very long, so we (those interested) can learn from them what consciousness really is (or could be). We will probably never prove it, so it will remain a "believe system".
Does it make sense to say:
Consciousness or awareness is the response of an agent to the environment (constraint)it is in. In quantum mechanics the response to the constraints are quantified by applying boundary conditions to the wave function. Behavior of the agent in its environment is manifested by the selections of its wave function following the boundary conditions. This starts from most basic agent in nature such as elementary particles. Therefore, consciousness is expected to have a nonzero ground state. More complex systems are expected to have higher levels of the consciousness than the ground states.
Of course it makes sense, you're suggesting that consciousness is a local phenomena, inherent in space and inanimate matter as well as complex biological creatures. It is just not a popular idea. Neither is the idea that space has density and is connected to a system of limitless energy. Do you think DNA all looks so similar only because it is all evolved from one kind to another? That is a popular idea. Not the correct idea, but very popular.
Not really because all you're talking about is manifestation of conciousness. Right? I get you're saying conciousness arises spontaneously from wave forms and forces, but all you're doing is measuring manifestations of Qantas, etc. So you're defining conciousness as a spontaneously occurring awareness? Is understanding part of the ability to calculate? Or how does understanding relate to the as ability to calculate?
Consciousness
Since the lockdown started I've been waiting for a new Penrose lecture ,thanks for sharing .
You and me both :)
THE CLEAR, BALANCED, AND UNDENIABLE PROOF OF THE FACT THAT E=MC2 IS F=MA:
E=mc2 IS F=ma. With the MIDDLE DISTANCE in/of SPACE AND the FULL DISTANCE in/of SPACE in fundamental equilibrium AND BALANCE, a given PLANET (INCLUDING WHAT IS THE EARTH) necessarily sweeps out EQUAL AREAS in equal times in accordance with perpetual motion AND the UNIVERSAL fact that E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is then CLEARLY proven to be gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. INSTANTANEITY is thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE. Importantly, BALANCE and completeness go hand in hand.
Time DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity, as E=mc2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. Ultimately and truly, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. TIME CLEARLY necessitates and proves (ON BALANCE) that E=mc2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Great.
OVERLAY what is THE EYE in BALANCED RELATION to/WITH what is THE EARTH. Notice the black space of THE EYE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. THE DOME of a person's EYE is ALSO VISIBLE. Now, carefully consider what is the semi-spherical, translucent, QUANTUM GRAVITATIONAL, AND BLUE SKY. Great. E=mc2 IS F=ma. It is CLEAR. The BALANCE of being AND EXPERIENCE is essential. What is THE EYE is ALSO the body ON BALANCE. Objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Great !!! The EARTH/ground CLEARLY constitutes what is the FULL DISTANCE in/of SPACE. Now consider what is the blue sky. The Earth is ALSO BLUE as water. Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. GREAT. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. Now, VERY CAREFULLY consider what is BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE. Great !!!!
Time DILATION ULTIMATELY proves (ON BALANCE) that E=mc2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. (Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution; AND the Moon is necessarily fixed or basically constant in it's form and shape.) "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/AS what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. (Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE.) E=MC2 IS F=ma as what is the middle distance in/of SPACE in BALANCED RELATION to/WITH what is the FULL DISTANCE in/of SPACE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. So, gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Great. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma. Beautiful. Ultimately and truly, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. GREAT. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. A PHOTON may be placed at the center of what is THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the speed of light; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Great.
THEREFORE:
E=MC2 AS F=MA CLEARLY PROVES (ON BALANCE) WHY AND HOW THE PROPER AND FULL UNDERSTANDING OF TIME (AND TIME DILATION) UNIVERSALLY ESTABLISHES THE FACT THAT ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY:
A PHOTON may be placed at the center of what is THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the speed of light; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Indeed, the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. E=mc2 IS F=ma. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Time DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is GRAVITY, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. Indeed, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA. Great. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=mc2 IS F=ma. (Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black.) BALANCE and completeness go hand in hand. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. I have mathematically unified physics/physical experience, as I have CLEARLY proven that E=mc2 IS F=ma in what is a truly universal and BALANCED fashion.

WHY HABITUAL AND SELFISH LIARS SUCH AS BRIAN GREENE, SABINE HOSSENFELDER, AND DAVID SPERGEL ARE PART OF A MUCH WIDER AND SINISTER NIGHTMARE THAT IS RAPIDLY UNFOLDING:
We always begin with typical, common, and ordinary experience in establishing physical FUNDAMENTALS/truths. LIFE is about living. TEACH REAL PHYSICS. E=mc2 IS F=ma. The truth is the way. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand.
Modern physics is BIG BUSINESS that is far more concerned with making money than it is with making sense and TRULY helping people IN GENERAL. THINK. They have their business equipment (telescopes, rockets, war making/destructive devices, nuclear power, nuclear pollution/waste, particle colliders, satellites, microscopes, etc.) and their other business practices (e.g., courses, books, tuition, "peer" "review") that they use to "corner the market" on what they then sell and present to you as legitimate and "ESSENTIAL" business products and "truths". They make ENORMOUS amounts of MONEY by changing experience from what is natural. In other words, to a very disturbing and significant extent, they are FABRICATING reality and the "truth" along with it. HOWEVER, TRUTH, reality, AND nature/natural experience go hand in hand. FACT. Indeed, if we walk away from reality, reality walks away from us. (STOP watching television.) In fact, the big picture is ESSENTIAL. It is called having common sense. The INTEGRATED EXTENSIVENESS of THOUGHT (AND description) is improved in the truly superior mind.
INDEED, the big question is who is TRULY and actually "BENEFITTING" from all of this; and for what reasons? For example, are our tax dollars actually being utilized WISELY? Indeed, is being a BILLIONAIRE actually and truly representative or constitutive of philanthropy !!? NO, IT IS NOT.
Climate change/environmental destruction IS VERY REAL, and it is absolutely catastrophic.
Stop the rip-offs, the lies/liars, the delusional nonsense, the speculative fantasies, wasteful environmental destruction, the fear mongering, the escapist hysteria, the clowning around, and OUR BEING DELIBERATELY AND DECEITFULLY DUMBED DOWN REGARDING WHAT IS OUR PRECIOUS AND TRULY PRICELESS PHYSICS/PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE.

@@PrivateSi are you okay? (for real lmk if you need a hug)

YES
Way to hard for me to understand
"Consciousness goes all the way down to the structure of the universe."
That would certainly explain a great many things, wouldn't it?
My next thought though is "It's a shame intelligence doesn't seem to do the same." 😬
"I'm sure if a potato can do it our brains can do it."
Not a wager I would make with some of the people I've met over the years. lol
Buddha discovered these things 2500 years ago.
As I'm sure someone else probably did before him, and another before that one, and so forth back to the beginning of the human race.
People have the tendency to forget what has already been learned, and have to learn it all over again.
A real shame, that.

There are those who say that consciousness is just a consequence of complexity, perhaps irreducible complexity. The implication is that it is not directly represented by anything in Physics. But how can Physics lead to the manifestation of something that has no reason to be there at all, eg the operation of the human brain in terms of the Physics looks like it would be exactly the same if we were not conscious, ie the brain is just a machine? It seems to me that consciousness has to be present in physics down at the gut level, and what Penrose has found is a plausible way that this could happen. His theory of course still has a long way to go, but it prises the lid off the problem just a little, and should therefore be taken seriously. It carries no implications for religion, insofar as one cannot say that the existence of subjective consciousness implies an Abrahamic god, 10 commandments, a virgin birth, a sermon on the mount, and a crucifixion.
im imagining the way a magnet causes ghraphite or metallic dust to form shapes and orient on a plane to imagine something similar happening in a single celled organism via a microtubule responding to observation from… what?
Where science meets spirituality (jmho). I love the study about microtubule....and it`s only gaining momentum. The whole quantum consciousness idea is awesome, I believe it can solve the problem of people using religion to fight wars. This gives me hope for our planet 😃 How awesome would it be if we had a planet where the first thing a person would think when she or he met someone new they would think; "what can I learn from you ?" Thank you very much for the amazing upload. Peace 😃
Using religion to fight wars? How if anything this further proves the lies of a god or any deity for that matter. This disarms it all.
@@jdkingsley6543 I think he said that it would stop people to use religion to make wars since spiritual concepts would be more based on science than believes
This almost sounds like pseudoscience. Someone please reassure me that this is not pseudoscience.
It is pseudoscience. His supposed proof that the human mind is not computable, based on Godel's incompleteness theorem, is just wrong, and has been easily shown to be wrong by many people.

Brilliant. Thank you for sharing.
The need for a theory of quantum measurement that collapses the wave function is the central crisis of physics. (The many-worlds theory just restates the crisis in a different form)
Listening to them was a privilege. It’s amazing to hear how they are applying the most advanced understanding of basic physics and neurophysiology to something so extraordinary as consciousness. I don’t know that they have the right answer but what they have put forward is more coherent and grounded than anything else I have come across.
The only weak part for me was the chess game analogy. Surely the best chess AI could be presented with that game? Couldn’t Penrose have got this tested? I can’t see why an advanced chess algorithm will sacrifice the bishop since a losing position is worse than a draw.
But Penrose is correct that we know things that aren’t computable with a Turing machine. AI has no answer for that. That doesn’t mean, however, that good AI systems won’t be superior to humans in many activities. Where AI is cheaper it will displace human labour as the logic of production for profit is our system of social organisation.
definitly!
About the chess example: He did mention that a sufficiently powerful chess program can see the draw. The reason chess programs of today sacrifice the bishop is to prevent the 30 move rule taking effect. He showed it as a simplified example to the difference between computation and understanding. A human can understand it is a draw by simply looking a bit for a few seconds. Yet a computer has to make long calculations to arrive at the same conclusion if it ever arrives at it.
That last sentence is a worry no? In the long run won't most everything will be cheaper through ai? And those with the capability to utilize it will win, therefore be at the top of almost every industry? So won't every industry seek to eliminate as many humans as possible from the operating costs.
So if those with ai (places we depend on for essential and non-essential products/services) are extracting money from consumers through the cheaper costs, or just total dominance of their marketplace, mostly eliminate having to pay the human worker, how will consumers get money back? Is our money taking a one way trip? Is optimizing for profits eventually leading to failure of the whole system? Or it's maximizing the imbalance of money and all the things it represents?
Sorry if a stupid question. Haven't looked a lot but I haven't really heard many people talk about this, so suspecting/hoping I just don't understand something, or I'm being cynical. (Am I overestimating ai's/robots impact?)
Mathematics is Logos , we should underline that reality without Logos is not ready in fact it doesn't exist. Logos binds creates reality
I hope that more research into the nature of consciousness is done. I think it isn't studied as much as it should be, and I think that better understanding of it would be beneficial to civilization at large.
Im skeptical because consciousness is so subjective
It seems better to understand memory and other processes thay may produce what we call consciousness
This makes so much sense, it is incredible.
Copenhagen and many world theories put consciousness outside science and leave it firmly to spirituality.
ORCH OR poses consciousness as an intrinsic property of the universe and therefore firmly in the realm of science. This bringing millenia of human experience and spirituality into scientific purvue.
This is a major leap forward in the evolution of mankind.
I think you might be going a bit too far, at best Orch OR suggests a Quantum Biological process to consciousness, ORCH OR need not be a property of the Universe
@@___Truth___ there doesn’t need to be a biological process of consciousness, if consciousness is a fundamental part of reality. When you try and make it a process, you’re trying to reduce it to something that you compute mathematically. There are some things in this reality that can’t be computed. They just exist as qualities of this reality. I see why a lot of people like you do that. It’s because you’re looking at reality from a human perspective and humans have a tendency to break everything down. But you have to take into consideration, how you view reality, is not objective reality . Your perception is based on a need to survive and adapt to your environment. So automatically , how you view the world is already skewed.
Interesting thread
Bet a million bucks sheldrakes morphic resonance theory runs on the same quantum process, somewhere in the microtubules. If an entire tube and multiple tubes can be entangled and resonate, the entire network of morphic resonance could be using the tubes across a species like servers on a network, not requiring any new physics hardware
His transparencies somehow encapsulate Penrose's playful brilliance
Roger Penrose is incredible. I have to say, of course, so is Stuart Hameroff. How a guy like Roger can bridge to this world and facilitate this step is beyond me. I think he has something though - remarkably, both physics and maths (OMG) are unable to make the next step because they are dependant upon how human consciousness works.
it's sort of interesting how the dipole oscillations have a common mode peak around the blue light region, which is the color of the sky during the day, i wonder if we might find structural difference between diurnal and nocturnal animals that points us to that kind of resonant frequency not being present in nocturnal creatures.
Fantastic lecture; Penrose' mathematics was quite hard to follow at times (not my strong point to be fair), but the Neuroscience aspect was fascinating. Worked in Alzheimer's research for my Masters, and microtubule dysfunction through mTau hyperphosphorylation was my main interest. Very interesting to see how microtubules could directly control information storage (possibly short-term memory formation) through Quantum processes, and leads to a strong possibility that it's Tau and microtubule dysfunction, not amyloid-mediated synaptic degeneration, that could regulate short term memory loss in Alzheimers.
my present for him! with love contains encrypted the theory of Totality!
is IT Possible that Consciousness is a quantum process ? I think so. Also on the issue of locality of Consciousness,,is it possible you are falling into the common Homo sapien trap, of thinking its one thing or another in isolation ? rather than a bit o f both ? or indeed a combination ?, or shades of yin and yang or a combination of polarities rather than one or another ? To my mind it would make sense that Consciousness is not in one location or the other location but in fact and Expression of free..will. to determine were it wants to be ? the the phrase "his/HER, mind is in the clouds" springs to mind. ?... could it be we are ignoring the "common sense" that our minds can in fact be where we want them to be ? This would allow for the Connection, as well as the individual capacity to learn how to make better or more better choices ?,, in short THE universe is a device for making souls.. Consciousness as we currently describe it cannot be accurately described without a spiritual component, or Progress.. ? its fairly clear when you examine a dead body what is Missing,, quite apart from the heat, the absence of Consciousness( as we currently define it) I feel Anybody who managed to obtain what we describe as "fact's" or " accurate theories" would be weaponized, or abused or their discoveries abused. This Iteration OF Homo Sapien deserve to be treated like children and kept away from the matches and Important Knowledge,,, Once "locality and Non locality is understood by any given individual earth resident that individual may not have the compulsion to stay on this planet for very long. Unless of course they were a Galactic traveller in service to the Creator. Only staying here to help fix a Perfectly viable Planet. and save it from what you would describe as "conventional science"/POLLUTION, BY a Highly ungrateful species who Fail to Appreciate the Function Of Spirit. You could of course Ask any African. but that to you lot would be far to much like BLACK MAGIC,, would it not.. Sir Penrose looks like an interesting human..the rest in this video just look like oppressor s of tomorrow or today in training. This is a Message From Aril. Rosewell july 1947...
I like it.
Is possible that Sir Roger Pence are going to get a Nobel Prize one more time.I beleaved that Leonard Susskin are going to get a Nobel Prize,very soon and it seems like this amazing american proffesor Stuart Hameroff is a candidat for a nobel price too. Love from Sweden!
A peaceful sense of satisfaction and joy to get a peek into the mind of our higher consciousness manifesting into space time but my bet is .. originating from hyper space.
Life itself, an expression of the intelligence - read organised data processing of spending that resides beyond space-time and yet totally computable to create the reality we all know.

Interesting as it all was, it felt like going deeply into the chemical structure and compound of each brushstroke in Van Gogh's Starry Night (to use an analogy). The analysis only amplifies the mysterious relationship, if any, between the chemical structure and the majesty of the painting as experienced by the art lover. In some sense, the constellations of the chemical structures are necessary to the painting's existence, but the analysis says nothing about the experience of that picture, or the various possible feelings/emotions/associations /meanings the painting evokes. There's still no clear connection between chemical composition/structure AND meaning, or how meanings are generated. (The "WHEN such-and-such is/are present" should not be conflated with a HOW.) How is it that Van Gogh's painting has moved and inspired many people? Can you explain that in terms of the colors' chemical constituents? Moreover, while the painting is awesome, a detailed analysis of its colors' chemical structure is rather dry, tedious, and over-technical by comparison. These guys did a fantastic job - but the fruit of their analysis, while clarifying some things, deepens the mystery of consciousness at the same time.
i get what you mean, but i think you're over doing it, you have to be pretty cold not to like starry night or sunflowers, but AI is beginning to do just what you're saying, i don't say it's good, i don't say it's bad, jus sayin.
I think that painting sucks.

That is.. beyond quantum
Sir Roger thinks science will eventually show the way. It will be a new, as yet known science, that is.
Is anyone aware of the results of the Bose Einstein condensate experiments that Dr Penrose referred to?
Penrose has lain bare countless scientific threads to pursue in our understanding of how this all ties together. Just amazing.

what is that which is looking at consciousness as to an object to be studied under the microscope? It is not consciousness but the mind that assumes the impostor position of being supreme. The mind is just a tool in consciousness; it cannot be there without consciousness. The mind is a product of the brain, the anatomical organ, which in turn is the product of food, air and water- the basic essentials of life. All of them are temporary apparitions in consciousness, which is the unaffected, aloof witness of 'what is'. Consciousness is not coming from 'outside'- it is eternal, unchanging and self-evident; it is the reality that cannot not be; reality begins where the mind ends.
Agree that Consciousness is not in any specific location - in time or space - in fact Sir Roger Penrose mentions that as his own belief during this presentation. I thought these scientists offered a rather good theory, that describes how the physical brain finds affinity with what is non physical.
@@evinnra2779 The point is what/who is the one which believes that? What is Sir Roger Penrose- the body that has that name attached to it/the mind that knows things in a certain field of science, and which has beliefs about things it doesn't know for certain,.... what exactly is it and at what distance from consciousness finds itself, i.e., who/what is looking at consciousness as to something that is outside of itself? The concept 'consciousness' is not consciousness- you know consciousness by being not by thinking. Again, reality begins where the mind ends.
