Quanteneffekte im Gehirn entdeckt!!!
Vor kurzem gab es erst die Bestätigung von Quantenphysik im Rahmen der Photosynthese in Pflanzen und nun kommt gleich eine Bestätigung der von mir erwähnten Hypothese von Roger Penrose hinterher, wie science daily berichtet: Discovery of quantum vibrations in 'Microtubulus' inside Brain Neurons:

A review and update of a controversial 20-year-old theory of consciousness published in Physics of Life Reviews claims that consciousness derives from deeper level, finer scale activities inside brain neurons. The recent discovery of quantum vibrations in ?microtubules? inside brain neurons corroborates this theory, according to review authors Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose. ..

The theory, called ?orchestrated objective reduction? ('Orch OR'), was first put forward in the mid-1990s by eminent mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose, FRS, Mathematical Institute and Wadham College, University of Oxford, and prominent anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, MD, Anesthesiology, Psychology and Center for Consciousness Studies, The University of Arizona, Tucson. They suggested that quantum vibrational computations in microtubules were ?orchestrated? (?Orch?) by synaptic inputs and memory stored in microtubules, and terminated by Penrose ?objective reduction? ('OR'), hence ?Orch OR.? Microtubules are major components of the cell structural skeleton...

?The origin of consciousness reflects our place in the universe, the nature of our existence. Did consciousness evolve from complex computations among brain neurons, as most scientists assert? Or has consciousness, in some sense, been here all along, as spiritual approaches maintain?? ask Hameroff and Penrose in the current review. ?This opens a potential Pandora?s Box, but our theory accommodates both these views, suggesting consciousness derives from quantum vibrations in microtubules, protein polymers inside brain neurons, which both govern neuronal and synaptic function, and connect brain processes to self-organizing processes in the fine scale, 'proto-conscious' quantum structure of reality.?

After 20 years of skeptical criticism, ?the evidence now clearly supports Orch OR,? continue Hameroff and Penrose. ?Our new paper updates the evidence, clarifies Orch OR quantum bits, or ?qubits,? as helical pathways in microtubule lattices, rebuts critics, and reviews 20 testable predictions of Orch OR published in 1998 ? of these, six are confirmed and none refuted.?


Natürlich ist das starker Tobak, gerade wenn es um die Interpretation der Daten bzgl. unseres Selbstverständnisses geht. Aber ich sehe hier interessante Möglichkeiten und Verknüpfungen von Spiritualität und Physik...
