Is it quantum consciousness?

And is that why there's free will?

Because there's uncertainty in the quantum realm that we can't pin down.

And so we can't determine what we're going to do at any given moment.

Possibly, right?

Yeah.

When we talked way back in the day, right?

It wasn't that long ago, but it feels like a long time ago about free will.

We were actually asking ourselves, right?

At what point do we say we don't know what's coming next, right?

And if we, the more and more science we've done about human behavior and physics and so forth, the more we think we know how determined the system is, and we just have reached a boundary where we don't know.

It could be all the way down at the quantum level.

Now, there have been ideas about consciousness for a long time tying to physics.

In fact, Nobel laureate Roger Penrose had come up with a hypothesis with some of his colleagues decades ago, suggesting that consciousness is sort of like the quantum spaces in between our synapses.

And that is not why he got his Nobel Prize.

That is not why.

No.

That's a different thing.

He got it for black holes.

That's right.
