Hans Busstra and Dr. Lídia del Rio talk to Dr. Matthew Leifer, Assistant Professor of Physics at Chapman University, about the epistemic interpretation of quantum mechanics. Classically, when physicists call themselves ‘realists’ they mean that we should assume that a physical, observer-independent universe is fundamental. But if this counts as […]
Watch the full interviews with Dr. Christof Koch and Professor Michael Levin, which are discussed in this video, here: https://youtu.be/uFMLpZkkH_8 https://youtu.be/1V-5t0ZPY7E Hans Busstra talks to Dr. Bernardo Kastrup about the groundbreaking work of Professor Michael Levin and Dr. Christof Koch. Levin’s research into bio-electric fields reveals that cellular networks use […]
Dr. Edward Kelly, a professor of experimental psychology, talks about his many years of study of a variety of psi and anomalous phenomena. In this interview with Natalia Vorontsova, he candidly shares how phenomenological evidence has led him to re-examine his metaphysical views on the nature of reality. Are our […]
Hans Busstra interviews theoretical physicist and complexity scientist James Glattfelder on his new book: “The Sapient Cosmos: What a modern-day synthesis of science and philosophy teaches us about the emergence of information, consciousness, and meaning”, published by Essentia Foundation. Can a new science bridge the gap between the noumena and […]
Physicist Dr. Lídia Del Rio, Essentia Foundation’s Research Fellow for Quantum Information Theory at the University of Zürich, explains to Hans Busstra one of the strangest quantum conundra confronting the foundations of physics: the Frauchiger-Renner (FR) thought experiment. Scientific papers discussed in this video: Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the […]
CPU inventor and physicist Federico Faggin, together with Prof. Giacomo Mauro D’Ariano, proposes that consciousness is not an emergent property of the brain, but a fundamental aspect of reality itself: quantum fields are conscious and have free will. In this theory, our physical body is a quantum-classical ‘machine,’ operated by […]
This video is a clip of a longer video, watch the whole video here: https://youtu.be/xLleq_XtoB8?si=P1bZOik3m2v8NuGJ&t=2052 Neuroscientist Julia Mossbridge sheds light on her solution for the hard problem of consciousness on the basis of a comparison to bosons. Normally we would identify things by their unique place in time and space. […]
Watch the full interview with Dr.Alex Gomez Marin here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOU3WKll_dM Neuroscientist and physicist Marin describes his research on extra ocular vision: the ability people seem to have to perceive images without their eyes. Whilst his work is scientifically rigorous, taking phenomena like these seriously, is still controversial in academia.
