Scientists are using anesthesia to probe the quantum roots of consciousness—and the research offers tantalizing evidence.

A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...

Consciousness is fundamental; only thereafter do time, space and matter arise. This is the starting point for a new theoretical model of the nature of reality, presented by Maria Strømme, Professor of ...

BOT or NOT? This special series explores the evolving relationship between humans and machines, examining the ways that robots, artificial intelligence and automation are impacting our work and lives.

Consciousness should not be deemed as an ‘all-or-nothing’ cognitive function but rather as a graded and multi-dimensional ...

Research has revealed fascinating insights into how consciousness might emerge from quantum processes within the brain. Scientists have identified that microtubules, microscopic hollow tubes found ...

A radical new theory from Professor Maria Strømme suggests that consciousness may not originate in the brain but instead ...

Modern physics has been shaped by great minds, yet somehow physics hasn’t explained what the mind is. For decades consciousness was not a respectable area of inquiry in physics, yet the great quantum ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...
