What if consciousness isn't something that exists only inside biological brains? What if, at the deepest level, consciousness is connected to the fundamental structure of reality itself?

Quantum consciousness theories explore the possibility that quantum processes could play a role in conscious experience. One of the best-known proposals, Orch OR, argues that quantum processes involving structures called microtubules could contribute to consciousness and potentially connect consciousness with fundamental physics.

But there's a major scientific question: is there actually enough evidence to say that consciousness is fundamentally quantum?

Recent reviews of quantum theories of consciousness highlight intriguing theoretical possibilities while also emphasizing major challenges, including whether quantum coherence or entanglement can play a meaningful role in the brain and whether these theories can produce experimentally distinguishable predictions.

In this video, we explore quantum consciousness, Orch OR, panpsychism, quantum information, the nature of awareness, and the controversial possibility that consciousness could be connected to the universe itself.

Is the universe simply a collection of unconscious physical processes or could consciousness be something much more fundamental?
