wiki quantum consciousness/mind
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (23 April 1858 – 4 October 1947) was one of the most important German physicists of the late 19th and early 20th
century, winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918;
he is considered to be the founder of quantum theory.
max planck quote:
I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness.
Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.
As quoted in The Observer (25 January 1931)
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually
die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
here's a
very short list of scientists associated w/ "quantum consciousness":
David Joseph Bohm FRS[1] (20 December 1917 – 27 October 1992) was an American-born British quantum physicist who contributed to theoretical
physics, philosophy, neuropsychology, and the Manhattan Project. Bohm attended Pennsylvania State College (now The Pennsylvania State University),
graduating in 1939, then attended the California Institute of Technology for a year, and then transferred to the theoretical physics group directed by
Robert Oppenheimer at the University of California, Berkeley, where he eventually obtained his doctorate degree.
Henry Stapp received his PhD in particle physics at the University of California, Berkeley, under the supervision of Nobel Laureates Emilio
Segrè and Owen Chamberlain. While there, he was a member of the Berkeley Fundamental Fysiks Group, founded in May 1975 by Elizabeth Rauscher and
George Weissmann, which met weekly to discuss philosophy and quantum physics.[2]
Stapp has view of quantum consciousness which I personally agree with very much:
Stapp favours the idea that quantum waves collapse only when they interact with consciousness. He argues that quantum waves collapse when
intelligent brains select one among the alternative quantum possibilities as a basis for future action.[5]
Gustav Bernroider is an Austrian biologist who has made contributions in the fields of neurobiology, philosophy, and quantum mind.[1]Bernroider
is currently Associate Professor for Neurobiology, at the University of Salzburg in Austria. He leads a research lab for neurosignaling and
neurodynamicsneural correlates of higher level brain functions. Gustav Bernroider has advanced a theory of consciousness based on the proposition that
the entangled ion states arise in the voltage-gated ion channels of the membranes of neurons. Bernroider's theory was principally developed in a 2005
paper co-authored with the mathematician Sisir Roy.
David Chalmers was born and raised in Australia, and since 2004 has been Professor of Philosophy, Director of the Centre for Consciousness, and
an ARC Federation Fellow at the Australian National University. From an early age, he excelled at mathematics, eventually completing his undergraduate
education at the University of Adelaide with a Bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science. He then briefly studied at Lincoln College at
the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar before studying for his PhD at Indiana University Bloomington under Douglas Hofstadter. He was a
postdoctoral fellow in the Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology program directed by Andy Clark at Washington University in St. Louis from 1993 to 1995,
and his first professorship was at UC Santa Cruz, from August 1995 to December 1998. Chalmers was subsequently appointed Professor of Philosophy
(1999–2004) and, later, Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies (2002–2004) at the University of Arizona, sponsor of the Toward a Science
of Consciousness[2] conference where in 1994 he gave a well-received talk that raised his profile in the cognitive science community.[3]
Sir Roger Penrose OM FRS (born 8 August 1931) is an English mathematical physicist and Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the
Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford and Emeritus Fellow of Wadham College. He has received a number of prizes and awards, including the 1988
Wolf Prize for physics which he shared with Stephen Hawking for their contribution to our understanding of the universe.[1] He is renowned for his
work in mathematical physics, in particular his contributions to general relativity and cosmology. He is also a recreational mathematician and
philosopher.

, I would argue that the fear aspect stays with you thoughout your entire life, minus the wild flailing present in newborns. Consider
also if anyone loses balance they will still automatically put out their arms for balance. However I will admit I haven't looked for a source for
this having only remembered this vaguely from the one semester I mistakenly decided to study pyschology. They talked about two universal fears all
humans share and the fear of falling is the only one I can remember...
