In this conversation, renowned physicist and nanoscientist Anirban Bandyopadhyay presents a radically different picture of the human brain: not as a computer processing bits, but as a nested architecture of clocks, resonances and shifting geometric patterns.

At Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Bandyopadhyay and his team developed the dodecanogram, or DDG: a high-frequency brain-measurement technique designed to detect electrical and electromagnetic activity far beyond the reach of conventional EEG. Their findings include megahertz signals associated with microtubules, structures inside neurons that may host quantum effects.

This research leads Bandyopadhyay to view consciousness quite literally as a universal symphony making music that is both everywhere and nowhere. Yet, while unequivocal in rejecting the computational view of consciousness, he remains cautious about the implications of his own findings: “The time has not yet come for a true theory of consciousness.”

    The problem with Anirban Bandyopadhyay’s programme is not that it is “unconventional”; it is that ordinary observations are repeatedly inflated into extraordinary conclusions without the intermediate evidence. Resonances become “time crystals,” optical modes become “qubits,” self-assembly becomes “quantum annealing,” and microtubule oscillations somehow lead to cognition, consciousness and synchronization with the universe. None of those arrows follows automatically. Where are the unambiguous symmetry-breaking criteria for the time crystal, the qubit Hilbert space, coherence times, entanglement witnesses, process tomography, gate fidelities, independently reproduced quantum teleportation, and computational benchmarks? Pictures of vortices, frequency hierarchies and poetic talk about clocks are not substitutes for these.

    This Essentia interview makes the problem worse because it allows this chain of speculation to glide almost seamlessly from nanoscience into metaphysics. A MHz signal does not establish a microtubule origin; a microtubule resonance does not establish quantum coherence; quantum coherence would not establish quantum computation; and none of these establishes universal consciousness. This is how pseudoscientific narratives acquire an appearance of depth: established technical vocabulary is continually stretched until almost any observation can be fitted into the story.

    What makes this more serious than an eccentric personal theory is its connection to IIT Mandi. Bandyopadhyay is associated with its quantum centre, has published with Director Laxmidhar Behera, and related optical-quantum ideas are now tied to a very large publicly funded programme. Behera’s own history of making scientifically unsupported public claims makes independent scrutiny even more important. If IIT Mandi genuinely has a novel quantum computer, demonstrate it using the same benchmarks demanded everywhere else in quantum information. Public money deserves physics, not a private vocabulary of “clocks,” gels, vortices and consciousness dressed in the word quantum.

    helaas zoekt hij ook n de verkeerde richting, Consciousness is our default state. Het is natuurlijk, biologisch en persoonlijk, maar het is eigenlijk zo simpel/natuurlijk dat we het niet eens in de gaten hebben. Wee worden volledig bewust geboren, met de juiste natuurlijke features en de juiste hemisferische balans en in onze jeugd worden we richting kennis gedreven die alles overruled. Dit is onbewust omdat we niet weten wat bewustzijn is. Het is eenvoudig verklaarbaar en zelfs meetbaar. Bewustzijn komt niet voort uit het brein. Het brein heeft eigenlijk geen directe functie in consiousness. Dus OR Orch heeft niets met consciousness te maken. Ook quantum wetenschap via Penrose heeft niets met natuurlijk bewustzijn te maken. Ons natuurlijke bewustzijn is een superpositie die niet kan collapsen.

    I seriously believe our scientists are confused between consciousness and information, they are talking about information, information as whole, information as part, we are no way close to consciousness,

    consciousness and information is not same thing, information is objective whereas consciousness is subjective

    we think we are talking about consciousness, but in reality we are not talking about consciousness, we are talking about information

    I'd love to talk to this awesome person for a couple of hours to fully understand this concept. Super interesting indeed ❤ please have him on again. This is amazing stuff and I love his energy

    I think he might have just finished the theory of everything but he is trying to be nice to you explaining it in easy ways.

    Once you asked if clocks are like gears going from lower to higher he said it is a good question not because it was good, but because he just spent 5 minutes trying to tell you the exact opposite and now he knows what answer will push the conversation further.

    This is something I have not seen explained so well in mathematical manner. I cant wait to see his work.

    He is correct.
    Is is absolutely correct

    Vibration vs, frequencies vs oscillations. Understand the difference of theses factors.
