Consciousness and quantum physics explore deep connections, with theories suggesting quantum phenomena like superposition and entanglement in the brain's microtubules (like Penrose-Hameroff ) might explain consciousness's complex, non-local nature, challenging classical neuroscience's neuron-centric views . While mainstream neuroscience explains consciousness through classical neural networks , quantum theories propose deeper, potentially universal interconnectedness, though these ideas remain speculative, lack definitive proof, and face challenges like quantum decoherence in warm brains. Consciousness and Quantum Physics in the Interpretation of Reality
The story of Atlantis, from Greek philosopher Plato's dialogues, describes a powerful, advanced island civilization that angered the gods with its hubris and greed, leading to its catastrophic destruction by earthquakes and floods, sinking beneath the Atlantic Ocean in a single day and night around 9,600 B.C. Plato used it as a cautionary tale about moral decline, contrasting its powerful but flawed society with an ideal ancient Athens , but many modern interpretations romanticize it as a technologically advanced utopia, spurring searches for a real location, often linked to the Santorini volcanic eruption. Atlantis : The Antediluvian World Atlantis: The Antediluvian World , by Ignatius Donnelly (1882), argues that a real, advanced civilization called Atlantis existed in the Atlantic, serving as the cradle of all human culture, which then spread globally before its catastrophic destruction by flood, explaining similarities in ancient myths, tech...
