A new way to understand the brain.
This quantum thinking is then transferred to the brain, where consciousness was previously thought of as a series of connections between neurons that function like a normal computer, but according to Hameoff, "It's an insult to the neuron itself when you think of the brain cell — the neuron — as a switch that turns off or on."
What's going on inside the neuron?
Again, the American doctor says: "Imagine that a single cell like paramecium swims, finds food and a companion, mates and can learn. If a simple paramecium can be so intelligent, then how can a neuron be so stupid? Would it just be a matter of turning it on or off? I think these scientists are ignoring what's going on inside the neuron.
So is the soul immortal?But at this point, the question is legitimate: how can the soul, that is, consciousness, be immortal in this context? Here is the answer of the 'Orch-OR' theory.
The information is recorded
According to this theory, in a pre-mortal state, microtubules lose their quantum state but retain the information they contain. According to Dr. Hameroff "the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, the microtubules lose their quantum state. The quantum information in the microtubules is not destroyed, it cannot be destroyed, it simply scatters and dissolves in the universe."
An intriguing but unproven theory
Of course, this is just one of many interesting theories that try to explain what consciousness is and whether it can really store information for a lifetime, but we must not forget that this has not yet been proven by science.
