In this episode, we dive into a groundbreaking study from Wellesley College that suggests consciousness may be a quantum phenomenon. Researchers discovered that a drug binding to microtubules in rat neurons delayed the onset of unconsciousness from anesthetic gases, supporting the controversial quantum model of consciousness. We explore what this means for the future of neuroscience, mental health treatments, and our connection to the universe, while addressing the skepticism and critiques surrounding this bold theory.
