    Your link is to a comment at the bottom of the page. Is that significant, or accidental?

    I guess “microtubules create consciousness trough quantum gravity” is the Nobel loreate version of dementia

      I’ve come full circle on the “create consciousness” part. What we’re talking about here is quantum mechanics entanglement to exchange information that would not propagate as efficiently through physics alone (keep in mind that “quantum” is a synonym for “information,” not “particles”)

      You should be. Is there a particular reason why?

      I’m not a neuroscientist so there’s a lot about human biology and cognition I still don’t understand (and apparently neither do some neuroscientists), but still have great confidence in my own related research without ever having dissected a human brain.

      I’d make a friendly amendment here that “quantum” really isn’t an “object” but intangible attributes/properties that manifest in our physical reality, such DNA as the code for biologic systems.
