it simultaneously goes through both slits and leaves a signature on the other side of having done so, right?
In other words, and this is one of the deepest mysteries of existence, right?
At the quantum level,
Our act of observation creates the reality that we are observing, and then if we don't observe it, it's another reality, right?
So given that deep and unresolvable mystery, is it possible?
In the sort of like the electrons in all places at once until we watch it and then it's in one place, in that sort of basic sense of a profound mystery at the quantum level, is it possible that there's an equivalent mystery around biological death, the existence of consciousness, which people still don't understand, right?
They can't even define what it is exactly, right?
And is there a mystery around that that we not only don't understand, can't understand?
And one of the theories, and I'll end with this, but it's a super out there theory.
It's called biocentrism.
There's a guy named Adam Lanza that you might be interested in talking to.
He's a brilliant guy.
He's one of the sort of pioneers of biocentrism.
And basically what he's saying is that, look, if consciousness determines reality at the quantum level and the universe ultimately is a quantum reality โ
It's possible that consciousness is part of โ that there's a subatomic particle associated with consciousness just like the Higgs boson is associated with gravity.
Like gravity exists because of the Higgs boson.
It's a subatomic particle that we can measure, right?
Maybe consciousness in the same way is part of the physical existence of the universe.
Without gravity, there is no universe.
