These subatomic particles don’t play by the rules of the everyday world. They obey quantum physics—the mind-bending theory that posits objects can exist in multiple states at once and entangled atoms can instantaneously interact across vast distances.
Some scientists speculate that the strange happenings in this microscopic realm may hold the key to understanding consciousness. But scant evidence has left the majority skeptical.
That includes Christof Koch, Ph.D., meritorious investigator at the Allen Institute. As he wrote in his recent book, Then I am myself the world, “the brain is wet and warm, hardly conducive to subtle quantum interactions.”
