   So I have assumed consciousness is a quantum ability more present in reality than we assume it really is. Consciousness, rather than being something that we contain, maybe something we participate in via the interactions of atoms and light in our cells.

   And now I have a full blown theory of consciousness in free will that. Explain the conscious and free will cannot be. Produced either by a quantum classical system like our body and, and even less by a classical, a classical computer like the ones that the host artificial intelligence. And so is fundamental that we understand that we are much more than computers in a day when we are told that we are machines, just like computers. In fact, not so good because computers will, you know, will overcome our intelligence pretty soon if they haven't done it already. So, I, you know, now I'm really on …

   A very good way of putting it. And the result is a sort of induced, what do I call it? Induced cringe, or something. The students of quantum mechanics are trained not to ask those questions. And if you're trained not to ask certain questions, that has an effect on your worldview. It has an effect on the culture in physics, because students think that they're the only one who worries about this. And in fact, they all worry about this. They're the ones that are studying physics in order to understand the world, always worry about this. And they learn this language of substituting ideas about abs…

   Quantum field of electrons well defined in physics. Okay. Quantum physics. I say this quantum field has consciousness and has free will. Then I call a siy because it's not the quantum fields of physics is but it is everything that physics is saying plus consciousness and free will. Now all of a sudden you have an entity that can evolve and can know itself and everything else because is a parked hole of one. In this uh way of thinking all of a sudden you you are connecting immediately physics which are the quantum fields with spirituality which is the fact that these fields are conscious and ha…

   I think I'm afraid I'm thinking that I have a very different view of the ones expressed by the other two or. Yeah, I mean, my view certainly is not that it's quantum mechanics because quantum mechanics, as we currently understand it, is well, as Einstein and Schrödinger have said about it, it's an incomplete theory. I'm not as polite as they are, they were saying it's incomplete. I would say it's actually not even quite correct and is not correct because quantum mechanics as it currently exists does not have a theory of the collapse of the wave function. You see, you have standard quantum mech…

   I mean already quantum physics is telling you that a particle that is not looked at is not even in space and time is is you can only be described in a deeper reality and only when you measure it. In other words, when a field interacts with another field which is the field of an instrument, you have an event that manifests in space and time and then you can say, you know, there is a particle here, for example. But quantum physics cannot tell you where you will find the particle. It can only tell you the probability of all the possibilities in which you could potentially find the particle. So th…

   This flips the script on neuroscience, philosophy, even technology. Because if meaning can't be measured or shared in the traditional sense, then no machine, no matter how powerful, can replicate what it's like to be you. This isn't just about consciousness. It's about reality itself. Cuz when you realize that the universe doesn't contain meaning, but that you're the source of it, then suddenly you're not a passenger in this world. You're a creator. We like to think of the world as something out there, separate from us, something we can study, manipulate, even control. But this idea rests on a…

   You give me the quantum state of the universe right now. This is the equation that tells you what happens next. It is not teological. It is not moral. It does not care what you do. It does not judge you. There is no goal or purpose towards which it strives. There's no causes and effects in this equation. It's just a pattern just like 6 7 8 9 10. Now you might object a slightly more sophisticated version of the previous objection is okay you have equations but I don't believe that your equations are truly fundamental unless they can fit on a t-shirt. So I prove to you that that can happen. Once…

   With certainty. Now, this is a criterion, I don't know what you call it, a a dictum I call it, by Einstein. Einstein was worried about this concept of quantum reality, I think. And he and lots of other people were worried about this. To what extent is the quantum state real? Is it a real thing? Or is it just a figment of imagination or useful tool of a our calculations? Is it real? Not that it's real in the sense of real numbers, cuz it's not. It's complex numbers, which is a nice sort of um iron irony. But take the spin case, that's a good one. Which way is it spinning? Like you know, not sur…

    Prof: So, I've got to start by telling you the syllabus for this term--not the detailed one, just the big game plan. The game plan is: we will do electromagnetic theory. Electromagnetism is a new force that I will introduce to you and go through all the details. And I will do optics, and optics is part of electromagnetism. And then near the end we will do quantum mechanics. Now, quantum mechanics is not like a new force. It's a whole different ball game. It's not about what forces are acting on this or that object that make it move, or change its path. The question there is: should we be even …
