Stuart Hameroff - Quantum Consciousness

Dr. Stuart Hameroff discusses cellular biology, microtubules, and explains why the ORCH-OR theory he developed with Sir Roger Penrose opens the door to quantum consciousness & biological quantum computing.

The 'Orch OR' theory attributes consciousness to quantum computations in microtubules inside brain neurons. Quantum computers process information as superpositions of multiple possibilities which, in Orch OR, are alternative collective dipole oscillations orchestrated by microtubules.

Hameroff is known for his role as the co-founder of the Orchestrated objective reduction model of consciousness, which he developed in conjunction with physicist Sir Roger Penrose in the early 1990’s.

Dr. Stuart Hameroff is an anesthesiologist and professor at the University of Arizona, author of the book “Ultimate Computing”, and lead organizer of the biannual Science of Consciousness conference.

I'm a serious Orch-OR Fan-Boy. Love Hamerofff and Penrose. Oustanding Epidsde TCV

I did not want the interview to end. Hameroff explains things so clearly and succinctly - a real joy to listen to. I hope when he is retired he has time to study phenomena such as NDE, OBE and terminal lucidity. If I could, I'd ask him whether he thinks a temporary stabilization of microtubules might be responsible for terminal lucidity & if yes, how that might occur.

A multiplicity of "thumbs-ups" for this!!

[bethkurtz]

Fantastic interview! Please bring Dr. Hameroff back soon!

[BarsandNightclubsAU]

As always, love your work Tim. Finally someone asks the question about the link between Orch OR and Dean Radin. I've watched every Hamerof interview and never has this been asked.

Thankyou.

Stuart I (a 76 year old) ZAPED my head at both temples for 10 minutes each side with the ultsound unit you recommend, 1 hour before watching this video and I have a much greater clarity of mind!!!

This channel had the most comprehensive information re: Eamonn Ansbro that I could find. Now Hammeroff? Awesome!

[johnnyb]

I'm glad Stuart Hameroff will be devoting more time to research after he retires. I _need_ to learn more about all this!

[teddasi]

Stuart.... great work.... moving neuroscience to a new level.... thanks...

[michaelperrone]

Thanks Tim for getting Hameroff: he's got some interesting ideas

[westdecker]

Amazing interview! Thank you for exposing me to Dr. Hameroff and his work. I hope you do a follow up with him after he retires to see what his research uncovers. Keep up the great work!

I feel if you don't go into science with an open mind and explore every possibility that's never been discussed, then you don't have the right to call yourself a scientist. If more academics thought like this guy then we would be decades ahead of where we currently are.

Wish there were timestamps. They'd add so much rewatch value to this good video. But coming back It's tedious having to skip parts I understand already without timestamps.

I was always good at math and even as things got more unintuitive, most was understandable and useful for my career as a pilot. However a girl I was dating was always stressing out over her studies "Pre-Med" anesthesiologist so I told her I would tutor her. 😉 But when I open up her books and took a look 😱. This field of study and this discussion is some next level stuff.

Very amazing minds! I'm lost for words... Wow.
I've always loved Stuart Hameroff's work in the movie What The Bleep Do We Know.

As all cells contain microtubules, one idea might be that all cells are involved in decision-making, most cells are making non-consciousness decisions just as part of their normal cellular processes. If this is true it raises the question as to what is happening to elevate the microtubules of the brain to the consciousness level ?

[theduppykillah]

Very interesting. Engaged and informed questioning…His thoughts about neuroscience being ignored are especially relevant. Discovering where “consciousness” comes from will be as impactful as discovering the wheel…heavy heavy stuff…would be fascinated to know if he takes supplements for brain health…off the shelf stuff…I love his phrase “consciousness came first and is optimizing pleasure”, devastatingly funny…

Ah! You finally got him! How did I miss this? 🤓

The "barefoot doctors" in China more likely would use Tai Chi - if you just stand with your legs bent (preferably Barefoot on Earth) - the collagen is over 90% vertically aligned and it's piezoelectric - and this creates the ultrasound waves that activate the brain. My training manual has the details - free first upload on my youtube channel. I first contact Professor Hameroff around 2004! I have corresponded with Anirban Bandyopadhyay also. Great research. Penrose has collaborated with Basil J. Hiley. Eddie Oshins argued the secret of "quantum psychology" is noncommutativity! This is also what Hiley argues and it also explains our current ecological and social justice crisis. Penrose now relies on noncommutativity also. Professor Hameroff doesn't seem to understand or engage with noncommutativity but that's O.k. since modern science is based on commutative geometry as Alain Connes points out. haha. Simple nonwestern music theory is noncommutative quantum algebra and the secret of quantum biology also! See my free book, "Ancient Advanced Acoustic Alchemy" for details. thanks
