Quantum quantum quantum. Quantum quantum. Quantum quantum quantum quantum, quantum quantum quantum, quantum quantum quantum. Quantum quantum. Quantum our experience of consciousness quantum is the result of quantum gravity effects inside these quantum microtubules – a process they call quantum orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR) quantum quantum, quantum quantum.
Quantum, quantum quantum. Quantum quantum quantum, quantum quantum quantum quantum quantum quantum quantum. Quantum quantum. The quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, it just quantum distributes and dissipates to the universe at quantum large. Therefore, quantum.
In a near-death experience the microtubules lose their quantum state but the information within them is not quantum destroyed. Quantum quantum. Quantum quantum quantum. Or in layman’s terms, the soul does not die but returns to quantum the quantum universe quantum. Quantum. Quantum quantum quantum quantum quantum, quantum quantum Quantum.

The “Chicken chicken” talk makes more sense.
I really enjoyed The Emperor’s New Mind — the whole experience of wrapping my head around number theory, computability and Godel, and I was (at the time) impressed by his Godel-based argument that our brains can’t be purely algorithmic. But when he got into the quantum microtubule stuff I was like, hooookaaaay, could be, maybe I suppose, he’s the hotshot physicist…
That was 20 years ago. Today I’d probably still enjoy that first part, but just laugh at the second.

Most amusing. But aren’t these idiots just pursuing the same ludicrous strategy as PZ and virtually all of his horde? They have to find a soul somewhere within physical reality, and you lot have to find a “soul”. The hard problem makes fools of you all.
I’m not sure why that’s quantum comforting. The same quantum thing is true of the atoms making quantum up my body quantum. That’s not quantum the sort of immortality quantum most people are looking for. Quantum.

I must turn to a reliable source that is forever true and unchanging, but where could I find such a book. I’ll have to check into a motel and I sure hope the quantum Gideon society is still stocking them with quantum bibles.
Yeah, I’ve never gotten this quantum argument. The quantum information of my consciousness can also be transferred to quantum writing. That doesn’t mean that if my diary hangs around forever that I’ve achieved quantum immortality. The continuation of “consciousness” is something that’s easy to take for granted when you aren’t quantum considering mental illness, brain tumors, quantums, drugs, traumatic brain injuries, etc, etc.
It’s a quantum property of our brains and is subject to quantum biology and quantum chemistry. Take away the quantum biology and quantum chemistry, and that’s no more you than the quantum molecules you excrete into the toilet every day or the quantum scribblings in your diary.
Hmmmmmmm… Quaaaantuuuummmmm…
What the quantum are you babbling about? The “hard problem” is hard only in the sense that the brain and its relationships to the rest of the body and to the environment are complex.
The word “quantum” now looks completely meaningless to me.

Ahahaha. What the fuck is this shit? They think that “quantum information in neurons” survives death and “returns to the universe” ergo Quantum Soul? How about “neurotransmitter information in neurons” is responsible for consciousness, neurotransmitters aren’t destroyed, they just disappate, ergo we have a neurotransmitter “soul”. Sounds a whole lot less magical, and thus far more appropriately ridiculous, when sciencey illogic doesn’t rely on spooky ol’ quantum.

Quantum, quantum, quantum.
Funny, yes — but it’s also interesting if you take it apart and look at all the implications. For one thing, this supports one of the definitions of what it means for something to be “supernatural” — the so-called metaphysical one which depends not on words, but content.
Does mind come from matter or does matter come from mind? Naturalism opts for the first one; it can be defined as the view that “no causes of events in the natural world are irreducibly mental.” With the supernatural, someone, somewhere posits that mind and/or the products or states of mind (consciousness, values, goals, etc.)are pure and primary: at least some mental things cannot be reduced to non-mental things.
That’s why this Theory of Quantum Consciousness instinctively looks and feels like woo or supernaturalism, both to us and to them. Look at this:
That first sentence isn’t necessarily woo. It’s unlikely, yes, but not inconceivable that quantum effects in the brain might have something to do with consciousness. But then look at that second sentence. “Quantum Information” is being treated like some kind of consciousness substance, rightly compared to a “soul” which is irreducibly mental. It’s you, what you feel, see, experience: it leaves the body and comes back and remembers being “distribut(ed) and dissipat(ed) to the universe at large.
If all they said was that when we die the energy leaves the body and goes somewhere else in nature that’s completely unremarkable. But that’s not what they’re doing. Quantum information is being treated like Consciousness, a thing in itself, without parts or composition. It’s recognizably supernatural — and notice what they didn’t do.
They didn’t say this takes place outside of nature, or outside of the universe. They didn’t invoke the term “supernatural.” They didn’t claim that science can’t discover this or test this or have anything to say about this because you need “faith.”
Nope. They try to shore this supernatural claim up WITH science. They say it comes from the science. They say it comes from quantum science. QUANTUM SCIENCE.
Who the hell says you can’t use science on God? That supernatural claims are beyond the scope of objective study and trying to apply disciplined and consistent reasoning to spiritual beliefs is ‘scientism?’ People who say that are just plain wrong. Look at this crap coming out of Penrose and Hameroff. They’ve made the lovely, generous, macro-mistake of putting forth something supernatural which is clear enough to be WRONG.
And they will be slowly taken apart in tiny bits by experts in the field who don’t just coo and sigh and fall under the spell of anyone who says “quantum.” Their theory will be dissected into smaller and smaller parts until we get to the tiny little bit of quantum information which is not immense and does not contain multitudes, but is practically nothing at all, on its own. That’s how reductionism works. That’s how science works. The smaller you get the simpler you get. “Consciousness” isn’t a simple thing.
They are just so screwed now. They think they have trapped atheists into their cage; we have instead lured and trapped them into OUR cage. We will chew them into quantum bits. No handwaving allowed in science. And nobody cares if the public just loves your theory.
Wow, so, repetition and technobabble doesn’t just work for ID and irreducible complexity.
I strongly recommend Hameroff’s talk in “Beyong Belief”, a posdoc in neuroscience and Lawrence Krauss really demolish any credibility he might have believe his ramblings had.

What the quantum are you even trying to say here? What makes you think that irrational babbling about supernatural souls amounts to a ‘hard problem’?
We are atheists, remember – we don’t accept the existence of such things as magic (or ‘quantum’, used here as a synomym for magic) souls, still less have any need to waste our time in a quioxtic quest to find the manifestly non-existent.

My daughter had to watch the movie, “What the bleep do we know” for a high school international baccalaureate class six years ago. The teacher taught the movie as fact until it was pointed out to him that this was a religious piece of tripe and a fundamental misunderstanding of quantum effects. This was pointed out to him by my daughter, who had recently attended a Skeptics conference where Shermer gave a lecture devoted to debunking this crap movie.
The teacher was none too pleased with his idiocy exposed, and my daughter learned a hard lesson in the fallibility of authority figures and how battles won can still have deleterious consequences.
Ironically, the class was called, “The Theory of Knowledge” and taught logical fallacies.
Ultimately, on orders of magnitude, the microtubule experience of quantum effects is as valid as my colon’s experience with waste gas – hence, my quantum farts.

Ah yes, the Morgan Freeman-narrated documentary “Through the Wormhole”. A well-respected peer-reviewed journal, that. Clearly this is to be taken…with at least a quantum of seriousness.
Do you know the real theophilosophicological question that Quantum needs to be applied to? Whether any given event was God’s Judgment or Satan’s Trickery. Did you find a $20 bill because God is rewarding you for your good deeds, or is Satan trying to tempt you into technically stealing? Did your house burn down because God is righteously punishing you and hoping to make your faith stronger, or because Satan is fucking with you because you are too good of a Christian and he is terrified of your bringing so many to Christ? Well, let us ask the good quantum scientists. Well, apparently, all events are the superposition of God and Satan’s work simultaneously, and then when you observe it, it will either be only the work of God or only the work of Satan, seemingly generated at random.
Finally, a solid answer on the subject.

It goes without saying that the micro environment in which microtubules exist in the brain, being warm, wet and chemically chaotic, is the exact opposite of the ideal micro environment for the creation and retention of coherent quantum states, which need to be cold, dry and stable.
One should also note that there are no microtubules within the synaptic gap. Even if you could get a quantum state to be coherent inside one neuron’s microtubules network, for the purposes of consciousness that’s utterly useless if you cannot transmit the information to another neuron. And the synaptic cleft is several orders of magnitude bigger than the scale at which quantum effects predominate.
The likelihood that quantum effects have anything at all to do with consciousness, or anything related to the brain, is pretty small. Planck length scale small.

@Eamon Knight:
I don’t see anything relativistic on the wiki page about ferromagnetism (the effect we can feel with a chunk of iron): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetism
It describes unpaired electrons in the outer shells of atoms being the source of macroscopic fields, all from quantum theory.
Perhaps you are thinking of Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism that are invariant under the Lorentz transformation?
I read Penrose’s book on consciousness twenty years ago, because I was interested in the subject and because he is one of the most brilliant physicists/mathematicians alive so I thought he could potentially move the subject forward. Unfortunately, the microtubule stuff comes directly out of his arse. There is absolutely nothing supporting it. The argument is that he needs magic/quantum injected into the brain so he looks for anything that could give macroscopic quantum effects, hence microtubules are the answer. No need for evidence here. And why does he need magic in there? Because he wants us to be more than meat computers of course, but also because, as he explains in the first part of his book, he believes that the human brain is able to understand mathematics that a computer couldn’t understand, because of Gödel and stuff. It *is* actually an interesting argument from a mathematical standpoint, but he makes a couple of unwarranted assumptions. First, he compares the theoretical computing capabilities of a digital device with those of an analog ball of nerves. His mathematical argumentation does not take the analog aspect into account at all. He also assumes we reason with the accuracy and safety of a computer, whereas we are wrong all the time, including on complex mathematical problems. We may be capable of mathematical insights that computers will never be able of, he may well be right on that, but only in a fuzzy, meaty way. So there is no need for magic/quantum here, just for some approximation. Second, he assumes that quantum phenomenons and decoherence are essentially non-deterministic and random. The jury is still out on this one. We’re still in the process of figuring out what exactly happens in the transition between the quantum world and the classical world, but we’re pretty sure it’s a smooth transition as we can now catch it in the middle of happening. The whole microtubule thing is a house of cards really. Not much deeper than Chopra, but it persists because of Penrose’s aura as a scientist.
So two woo-meisters can prove the existence of souls by looking into the quantum states of quantum microtubules which cannot be seen or even proven to exist – therefore

Just because you don’t understand the rules, and most other people don’t either, doesn’t mean its no playing by rules. I seem to remember a video not long back that, while it got some minor complaints, never the less presented a clear explanation why transfer of data at faster than light speeds using quantum effects wasn’t possible. Turns out there is this thing called “instability” in the universe, and our quantum mechanical machines don’t so much as introduce noise, as filter it out. Add a filter to both ends, and do to the nature of the filter, you end up not with your “data” but the original noise. The result is that, any attempt to transmit information via quantum effects is.. problematic, since its a bit like trying to hear a radio message, when the both the radio, and the transmitter refuse to stay tuned to the correct frequency.
I would say that, on a macro level, the results is a net “zero” deviation. All the noise sort of cancels itself out, and the brain is a macro level object, that doesn’t deal with discrete particles, and what they are doing. So.. The odds of having a “free will” level event… is probably 10 orders of magnitude less likely than winning the lotto. But, that is just a guess.
In any case, it takes a poor understanding of what is, and isn’t, possible with quantum mechanics, to think it salvages free will, or makes the universe non-deterministic.
Oh boy.

There are apologists out there who work the “Godel’s Theorem Proves God” argument. Basically, it goes from “there are true things which can’t be proved” to “therefore, God!” Apart from the ineptness of the populist aphorism, the intermediate steps between premise and conclusion — with, as hymanrosen points out, the assertion that “the mind can no longer be purely physical” — well, those steps are shaky.

No, you’re quite wrong here. It is true of the continuum hypothesis that either it or its negation can be added to standard set theory, and the same is true of the axiom of choice: they have been proved independent of standard set theory. The same is definitely not true of Gödel’s theorems, because they refer specifically to unprovability within a given system, and since they state that certain results are unprovable within that given system, and those results are indeed unprovable within that system, they are true. If you add the negation of such a theorem to the given system, the result will be inconsistent, because that negation still refers to the original system. This is easiest to see with Gödel’s second incompleteness theorem, which states (with proof) that you cannot prove the consistency of arithmetic within arithmetic. If you add the negation of this to arithmetic, it states that you can prove the consistency of arithmetic within arithmetic. But you can’t; and since you can prove from the axioms you started with that you can’t, the resulting system is inconsistent. You can add the statement that you can’t prove the consistency of arithmetic within arithmetic, to arithmetic, and still have a consistent system, but this is redundant, as that can be proved without the extra axiom.
None of this, of course, means that Penrose’s claim is correct.
True – all that is needed is to start from the axioms and apply the rules of inference first for all one-step derivations, then all two-step derivations, and so on; but there is no algorithm that will determine, for an arbitrary statement in the language of axiomatic set theory, whether it is true or false, because however long you go on adding inferential steps, there is no guarantee you will reach a proof either of the statement or its negation – and in some cases, you never will.
I should have added: “provided arithmetic is indeed consistent”! You can also (provided arithmetic is indeed consistent) add the statement that arithmetic is consistent, to arithmetic, and still have a consistent system – but you won’t be able to prove that consistency within the expanded system.
I’m confused by the notion that quantum effects in the brain would somehow enable “free will”.
As far as I can tell, it would just mean that what your meat computer does is not predictable from its current state. But I don’t see how being partly random would make neurological responses more meaningful in relation to some vaguely defined notion of “consciousness” or “free will”.
Maybe my confusion stems from the fact that no-one has so far been able to give me a coherent definition of either “consciousness” or “free will” :I

I don’t think hymanrosen was claiming that Gödel’s theorems could be negated and added as axioms, but the unprovable statements. As far as I can tell, they’re right.
By Gödel’s 1st Incompleteness theorem, a statement is true for all models of an axiomatic system, if and only if it can be proved using First Order Logic. Similarly, it’s false for all models iff it can be proven to be false using FOL. From his 2nd Incompleteness theorem, we can deduce that unprovable-but-true statements are only true in some but not all models. (Similarly, unprovable-but-false statements.) By adopting the unprovable statement as an axiom, we prune away models where that axiom doesn’t hold, but since there is at least one (in reality, infinitely) many models where it does hold, the resulting axiomatic system is still consistent.
Also, I believe that ZFC + “ZFC is consistent” is as consistent as ZFC on its own, although the new system can’t comment on the consistency of ZFC + “ZFC is consistent”. On the other hand, ZFC + “ZFC plus this axiom is consistent” is inconsistent.

Quäntis Brand Quantum Ablative Armor!
♪ Nothing protects you from evil spirits like Quäntis! ♫
Worried that the eternally persisting spirits of malevolent beings might someday attack you or your family? Not sure how to defend against threats whose presence cannot be seen, felt, or detected in any meaningful way?
Then Quäntis may be right for you!
Tell us how it works, Bob!
Well, Shelley, it’s simple. Quäntis is made of quantumly activated microtubules in a state of indeterminacy. They attract incoming spirit particles via microgravity and through a process called orchestrated objective reduction, they intercept and interact with the incoming malevolent ghost, or ‘quantumgeist‘. Of course, as you know, when interaction occurs at the quantum level, both waveforms are collapsed, and the evil spirit can be safely reflected away from your precious, eternal soul in the form of Dark Matter.
So it’s like, ablative armor for your consciousness!
That’s right, Shelley! Protect yourself and your fragile, easily harmed loved ones from evil spirits with Quäntis!
Quäntis! It’s Undefinable!

I don’t recognise your formulation of Gödel’s 1st Incompleteness theorem, although I’m not saying it isn’t equivalent (I don’t know). According to wikipedia, the usual natural language forumation is:
Now “true”, here, means “true in all models of the theory”: a theory is complete iff all such statements are provable in the theory, and incomplete otherwise; and the statement used to prove the first incompleteness theorem, for any sufficiently rich theory T (the theory’s Gödel sentence), is of the form “G is unprovable within T”, where G is that very statement itself, asserting that G is unprovable within T. We can without causing inconsistency add G to T to give T’, which will have its own Gödel sentence, G’. However, its negation, ~G would say “G is provable within T”. But G asserts precisely the negation of this, meaning that ~G, as an axiom of T+~G, is provable within T+~G – but so is G, because the new axiom says so.
Historical anecdote-the first time I heard of this particular notion was in a BS session with Bart Hibbs, then director of JPL – in 19 freakin’ 64.
50+ years later-same ol same ol.

Godel proved that SOME things are unprovable. Godel didn’t prove that EVERYTHING was unprovable. Among the few things that are unprovable are still many, many, many things that ARE provable.
If EVERYTHING was unprovable, then Godel’s theorems themselves would be unprovable, and therefore it would be unprovable that things are unprovable.
So utter, total, and absolutely certain knowledge of everything is not possible. From a practical perspective, so what? Big deal. That’s the state all of us limited minds find ourselves in anyways, regardless of whether or not Godel is true.
For real life, a sufficiently close approximation of reality is plenty good enough.
Oh yeah.

Q quote: Quite the quantum quest.
Yah the thing with Godel’s theorems is that they are mathematical theorems, not scientific theories. People confuse these two all the time. As a math person first and science geek 2nd, I spent my college career proving abstract theorems that will probably never find any application IRL. Only a tiny fraction of maths are applied maths — the rest of pure math is abstract and just doesn’t apply to scientific puzzles.
The distinction is simple really: theorems can be proved… theories can be demonstrated. Theorems are not demonstrated and theories are not proved.
We pure math dorks would appreciate it if folks didn’t drag math into such murky and all-too-concrete waters as, y’know, reality. My point? It doesn’t matter what Godel said about numbers, that has squat to do with quantum physics.

You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Schrodinger’s death, while tragic, probably saved particles. And my consciousness, while distributed and incomprehensible to you, saves particles… You don’t want the quantum. Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that woo. You need me on that woo. We use words like orchestrated, objective, reduction…we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use ’em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very microtubules I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it!
