[quote:Daniel of the Rose:MV8yMDMzNzY1XzM0MjAxNzI3X0EwRkVCQzU4] [quote:Instant Karma:MV8yMDMzNzY1XzM0MjAwNTkzX0ZGNUYxMjgx] Consciousness can't be the result of quantum effects in the brain: 1. Quantum effects require an observer to collapse the wave function. Until they are observed, they are in superposition (two states at once). 2. The observer is another name for consciousness. 3. Therefore the observer (consciousness) must be independent of the quantum effects, not the result of them. [/quote] :moshpit::clappa: [/quote]

"A near-death experience happens when quantum substances which form the soul leave the nervous system and enter the universe at large, according to a remarkable theory proposed by two eminent scientists.
According to this idea, consciousness is a program for a quantum computer in the brain which can persist in the universe even after death, explaining the perceptions of those who have near-death experiences."
"It is based on a quantum theory of consciousness he and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose have developed which holds that the essence of our soul is contained inside structures called microtubules within brain cells."
