2
00:00:30,970 --> 00:00:28,399
okay well thanks Garrett and thanks Dean

3
00:00:33,340 --> 00:00:30,980
Radin for sponsoring me in thanks for

4
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:33,350
the program committee for inviting me

5
00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:35,570
and thanks to all of you were in

6
00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:36,320
attendance

7
00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:44,079
I am revisiting a topic that I did in

8
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:47,980
2012 for this body which was called the

9
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:50,170
consciousness and the quantum paradigm

10
00:00:56,530 --> 00:00:52,910
and I thought to myself I wonder if this

11
00:00:58,210 --> 00:00:56,540
folds in with quantum field theory and I

12
00:01:02,970 --> 00:00:58,220
worked out a few things that I'd like to

13
00:01:05,889 --> 00:01:02,980
share with you as many of you know

14
00:01:07,450 --> 00:01:05,899
trying to explain consciousness with

15
00:01:11,529 --> 00:01:07,460
quantum mechanics is a dangerous

16
00:01:13,450 --> 00:01:11,539
minefield for the researcher especially

17
00:01:16,059 --> 00:01:13,460
with the physicists like me when we get

18
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:16,069
up here so put on your skeptical armor

19
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:21,850
and let's go and I would like to

20
00:01:30,459 --> 00:01:26,329
introduce you to my pet cat his name is

21
00:01:32,679 --> 00:01:30,469
Schrodinger and he has never been the

22
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:32,689
same since that nasty superposition

23
00:01:37,469 --> 00:01:34,710
incident

24
00:01:42,779 --> 00:01:37,479
but he follows me around a lot and tries

25
00:01:48,569 --> 00:01:42,789
to keep me in perspective and reminds me

26
00:01:52,590 --> 00:01:48,579
not to take this stuff too seriously so

27
00:01:54,169 --> 00:01:52,600
and in the new paradigm I introduced

28
00:02:02,520 --> 00:01:54,179
five ideas

29
00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:02,530
first of all objects and particles are

30
00:02:09,229 --> 00:02:06,369
illusory and the reality is in events

31
00:02:11,850 --> 00:02:09,239
whenever you see two particles

32
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:11,860
interacting that's an event and that's

33
00:02:20,970 --> 00:02:17,920
real secondly I will revisit the retro

34
00:02:23,490 --> 00:02:20,980
causality the reversal of cause and

35
00:02:26,819 --> 00:02:23,500
effect in time and show that it is

36
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:26,829
consistent suggest that it is consistent

37
00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:30,970
with with the second law of

38
00:02:35,099 --> 00:02:33,040
thermodynamics which is forward causal

39
00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:35,109
and if I have time I will discuss a

40
00:02:43,470 --> 00:02:37,769
little bit over the cosmological

41
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:43,480
implications of retro causality quantum

42
00:02:51,710 --> 00:02:46,769
coherence and indistinguishability I

43
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:51,720
suggested leads to a an emergent

44
00:02:57,509 --> 00:02:52,870
self-identity

45
00:03:01,620 --> 00:02:57,519
in the coherence of the electromagnetic

46
00:03:04,559 --> 00:03:01,630
field and finally I will remind you

47
00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:04,569
about conscious observational causality

48
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:07,150
but I have nothing new particularly to

49
00:03:13,849 --> 00:03:09,970
add to that or to the fact that entropy

50
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:13,859
decreases as a result of the action of

51
00:03:21,569 --> 00:03:19,209
conscious observational causality we're

52
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:21,579
talking about quantum fields a field is

53
00:03:26,370 --> 00:03:24,400
this a set of state vectors and the

54
00:03:30,270 --> 00:03:26,380
state vectors are just sets of numbers

55
00:03:34,619 --> 00:03:30,280
which describe the possible states of a

56
00:03:38,430 --> 00:03:34,629
physical field for electrons for example

57
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:38,440
the states may consists of things like

58
00:03:43,770 --> 00:03:41,169
position momentum spin mass charge and

59
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:43,780
so forth and more recently perhaps the

60
00:03:50,830 --> 00:03:45,330
conscious will

61
00:03:58,430 --> 00:03:55,670
operators and the operators cause events

62
00:04:04,010 --> 00:03:58,440
the events are real the state vectors

63
00:04:08,420 --> 00:04:04,020
are virtual the state the events and the

64
00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:08,430
operators are governed by physical law

65
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:11,160
and the physical law is defined by

66
00:04:32,930 --> 00:04:25,460
conservation thinking conservation is

67
00:04:36,530 --> 00:04:32,940
one of the laws the event field where am

68
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:36,540
I here yeah in 2012 I scrapped wave

69
00:04:46,270 --> 00:04:41,730
particle duality and the events governed

70
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:46,280
by the wave faction action are real the

71
00:04:55,130 --> 00:04:49,110
wave function is a force field which

72
00:04:57,980 --> 00:04:55,140
defines the causal influence for causing

73
00:05:00,440 --> 00:04:57,990
events to happen the amplitude is a

74
00:05:02,450 --> 00:05:00,450
measure of the strength an example of a

75
00:05:07,220 --> 00:05:02,460
force field is the electromagnetic force

76
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:07,230
field the field aspect the operators two

77
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:10,650
of the principal ones are raising and

78
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:14,310
lowering operators the raising operators

79
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:17,850
will add quanta to the field which

80
00:05:23,210 --> 00:05:19,830
increases the strength of the field and

81
00:05:27,550 --> 00:05:23,220
the lowering operators will subtract

82
00:05:35,890 --> 00:05:27,560
quanta the raising and lowering of field

83
00:05:47,420 --> 00:05:43,370
events are the spin operators the e1 and

84
00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:47,430
the e2 are what I call the binary

85
00:05:51,140 --> 00:05:49,380
exchange operators these are not two

86
00:05:53,779 --> 00:05:51,150
spin operators these are binary exchange

87
00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:53,789
so called because they swap the elements

88
00:06:04,770 --> 00:05:59,759
of the virtual eigen eigen vectors

89
00:06:13,610 --> 00:06:04,780
the 0 1 and 1 0 those elements are

90
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:13,620
swapped the when properly sequenced

91
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:17,530
those binary spin those binary event

92
00:06:24,689 --> 00:06:21,250
operators will form the four basic

93
00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:24,699
elements of the direct vector the Sigma

94
00:06:33,020 --> 00:06:28,720
the Sigma's down below these direct

95
00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:33,030
vectors describe the electron field and

96
00:06:38,939 --> 00:06:36,400
they also form a basis for space-time

97
00:06:44,310 --> 00:06:38,949
which is important and they form a basis

98
00:06:46,890 --> 00:06:44,320
for for momentum ok let's take a closer

99
00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:46,900
look at these two binary exchange

100
00:06:53,159 --> 00:06:50,590
operators as I said they are called

101
00:06:57,499 --> 00:06:53,169
binary exchange because they swap the

102
00:07:03,899 --> 00:06:57,509
elements of the half spinner vectors

103
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:03,909
which are which are virtual the 2 by 2

104
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:06,970
matrices themselves represent real event

105
00:07:20,159 --> 00:07:14,849
operators so these are self referential

106
00:07:23,370 --> 00:07:20,169
within the within the spinners in much

107
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:23,380
the same way that consciousness is self

108
00:07:37,930 --> 00:07:29,370
referential within the within the within

109
00:07:45,940 --> 00:07:43,780
let's go on to the next one Oh Harry's

110
00:07:49,780 --> 00:07:45,950
he's reminding me to try to lighten it

111
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:49,790
up and get a little faster in funnier I

112
00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:52,400
don't know if I can do that this next

113
00:08:00,780 --> 00:07:53,750
one is still pretty heavy though

114
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:04,450
is appears to violate the second law but

115
00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:07,630
the second law is a thermodynamic

116
00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:11,350
principle it's a maximum probability

117
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:14,000
principle having to do with large

118
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:17,330
quantities of events and is heavy with

119
00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:20,450
forward causality retrocausality

120
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:23,030
on on the other hand is a quantum

121
00:08:29,190 --> 00:08:24,890
symmetry principle which applies to

122
00:08:31,330 --> 00:08:29,200
single events I'm maintaining that the

123
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:31,340
thermodynamic principle and the

124
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:35,289
retrocausality principle can co-exist

125
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:38,510
retrocausality can explain entanglement

126
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:43,010
I have demonstrated this in 212 2012 by

127
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:45,650
using Occam's razor where I showed that

128
00:08:53,470 --> 00:08:51,440
retrocausality was probably the simplest

129
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:53,480
explanation for entanglement and

130
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:54,640
therefore the most probable

131
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:56,210
retrocausality

132
00:09:01,120 --> 00:08:58,370
is needed to support the event

133
00:09:06,030 --> 00:09:01,130
hypothesis which involves raising

134
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:06,040
operators which are forward causal and

135
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:10,970
involve waves and the lowering

136
00:09:20,650 --> 00:09:16,730
operators are retro causal and in

137
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:20,660
involved advanced waves retrocausality

138
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:22,910
is also needed to support the wheeler

139
00:09:28,050 --> 00:09:26,570
Fineman absorber theory in cosmology and

140
00:09:33,510 --> 00:09:28,060
I'll take a quick quick look at that

141
00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:36,850
classical photon emission the causal

142
00:09:46,510 --> 00:09:42,790
story for that there is no mechanism for

143
00:09:49,150 --> 00:09:46,520
radiative damping forces to cause an

144
00:09:51,369 --> 00:09:49,160
electron emitter to accelerate which

145
00:09:55,710 --> 00:09:51,379
it's needs to do if it's going to

146
00:09:58,839 --> 00:09:55,720
radiates now the wheeler flagmen theory

147
00:10:03,609 --> 00:09:58,849
provides both and advanced

148
00:10:09,249 --> 00:10:03,619
waves in a mixture and the advanced

149
00:10:13,419 --> 00:10:09,259
waves will provide force field for the

150
00:10:17,589 --> 00:10:13,429
emitter to accelerate the emitting

151
00:10:23,259 --> 00:10:17,599
electron and the waves provide

152
00:10:25,210 --> 00:10:23,269
a force field for the absorber so every

153
00:10:28,319 --> 00:10:25,220
emitter in this every emitter in the

154
00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:28,329
universe must have an absorber and the

155
00:10:36,989 --> 00:10:31,279
problem cosmologically is that there are

156
00:10:40,179 --> 00:10:36,999
not enough absorbers in our BIGBANG

157
00:10:43,419 --> 00:10:40,189
ever-expanding universe to accommodate

158
00:10:44,469 --> 00:10:43,429
all of the densely packed emitters in

159
00:10:48,609 --> 00:10:44,479
the Big Bang

160
00:10:51,699 --> 00:10:48,619
so I've proposed a model of future

161
00:10:56,829 --> 00:10:51,709
virtual absorbers to augment the real

162
00:11:00,939 --> 00:10:56,839
absorbers and these as the as the

163
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:00,949
photons expand due to redshift expansion

164
00:11:06,659 --> 00:11:01,970
of the universe they've become

165
00:11:10,299 --> 00:11:06,669
susceptible to absorbed by virtual

166
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:10,309
electron positron pairs which pop up out

167
00:11:15,969 --> 00:11:13,970
of the space-time continuum and these

168
00:11:20,409 --> 00:11:15,979
absorbs and events will send back

169
00:11:24,849 --> 00:11:20,419
waves to the to the emitters

170
00:11:27,460 --> 00:11:24,859
thus completing the cycle so well he's

171
00:11:29,259 --> 00:11:27,470
climbing the walls and so am I so and

172
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:29,269
we've still got a ways to go so hang in

173
00:11:40,229 --> 00:11:35,569
there okay well identical particles are

174
00:11:42,939 --> 00:11:40,239
not just identical in substance they are

175
00:11:46,599 --> 00:11:42,949
intrinsically the same particle they

176
00:11:52,379 --> 00:11:46,609
occupy the same state and they form a

177
00:11:58,029 --> 00:11:52,389
coherent group of undifferentiated

178
00:12:02,499 --> 00:11:58,039
substance which can I propose go here to

179
00:12:04,269 --> 00:12:02,509
form a living conscious identity this

180
00:12:08,170 --> 00:12:04,279
gives rise to and

181
00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:08,180
created self-identity laser-light is a

182
00:12:20,249 --> 00:12:16,160
good example of coherent coherent wave

183
00:12:23,379 --> 00:12:20,259
function the waves of individual photons

184
00:12:25,780 --> 00:12:23,389
have the same peaks and the same troughs

185
00:12:30,309 --> 00:12:25,790
in the same frequency they all group

186
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:30,319
together to form a coherent structure we

187
00:12:36,819 --> 00:12:32,720
observe electromagnetic coherence in

188
00:12:40,809 --> 00:12:36,829
many living systems and the neural and

189
00:12:52,809 --> 00:12:40,819
motor networks and sometimes between

190
00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:52,819
systems the the equations are going to

191
00:12:57,549 --> 00:12:54,740
be a little bit unfamiliar to most of

192
00:13:07,150 --> 00:12:57,559
you but I like to use them as as talking

193
00:13:10,689 --> 00:13:07,160
points if I can get to them the Dirac

194
00:13:14,889 --> 00:13:10,699
field for electrons is where the

195
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:14,899
consciousness operators first emerge the

196
00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:20,529
electron field is not coherent but the

197
00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:24,769
direct field and the Maxwell field for

198
00:13:31,710 --> 00:13:28,480
electromagnetism and the photons are

199
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:31,720
formally and mathematically the same and

200
00:13:39,699 --> 00:13:35,569
the Maxwell field is a coherent field

201
00:13:44,549 --> 00:13:39,709
which can give rise to consciousness and

202
00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:44,559
conscious entities so I've worked out

203
00:13:56,860 --> 00:13:52,670
that the gamma vector no if I can

204
00:14:04,030 --> 00:13:56,870
identify that but over on the right hand

205
00:14:06,699 --> 00:14:04,040
side the gamma vector is the direct

206
00:14:10,860 --> 00:14:06,709
that's the set of direct vectors which

207
00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:10,870
acts as a finite difference operator and

208
00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:13,889
when it operates on the

209
00:14:21,499 --> 00:14:16,769
mentum eigenvectors represented by this

210
00:14:24,889 --> 00:14:21,509
I filled it becomes a differential

211
00:14:27,069 --> 00:14:24,899
operator over space-time and that is the

212
00:14:30,349 --> 00:14:27,079
same as the momentum operator

213
00:14:33,199 --> 00:14:30,359
represented by P now the upside-down

214
00:14:36,229 --> 00:14:33,209
triangle is the divergence operator and

215
00:14:38,749 --> 00:14:36,239
that that Dirac equation and the direct

216
00:14:42,049 --> 00:14:38,759
equation then tells us that the

217
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:42,059
divergence or the divergence of the

218
00:14:52,579 --> 00:14:49,410
momentum field comes from the mass

219
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:52,589
density space-time mass density MC

220
00:14:57,530 --> 00:14:55,529
squared in space-time so what we're

221
00:15:02,329 --> 00:14:57,540
saying is that the momentum the motion

222
00:15:04,579 --> 00:15:02,339
field comes from the mass density and I

223
00:15:07,699 --> 00:15:04,589
with a little vector algebra I can show

224
00:15:13,309 --> 00:15:07,709
that the Dirac equation is equivalent to

225
00:15:15,710 --> 00:15:13,319
the Maxwell equation down below the the

226
00:15:17,419 --> 00:15:15,720
expression in the inner brackets is

227
00:15:20,539 --> 00:15:17,429
equal to the electromagnetic field

228
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:20,549
tensor and the a vector is the

229
00:15:30,909 --> 00:15:25,169
electromagnetic potential vector and the

230
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:30,919
a vector is equivalent to the momentum

231
00:15:38,629 --> 00:15:35,970
potential vector P up above so there is

232
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:38,639
an equivalence which is not necessarily

233
00:15:47,359 --> 00:15:43,619
physical but it's mathematical the MC

234
00:15:49,819 --> 00:15:47,369
squared mass density becomes a four

235
00:15:55,329 --> 00:15:49,829
vector which is equivalent to the J in

236
00:15:59,569 --> 00:15:55,339
the lower equation which is the

237
00:16:02,689 --> 00:15:59,579
electromagnetic current vector so once

238
00:16:05,259 --> 00:16:02,699
again this is not necessarily a physical

239
00:16:10,609 --> 00:16:05,269
equivalence but it is a good

240
00:16:12,789 --> 00:16:10,619
mathematical equivalence oh boy I got

241
00:16:15,499 --> 00:16:12,799
the hare and his ears standing on end

242
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:15,509
and it's been pretty scary but I think

243
00:16:22,669 --> 00:16:16,619
we're over the worst of it

244
00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:22,679
now I'll revisit the conscious

245
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:27,040
observational causality that I did in 22

246
00:16:33,860 --> 00:16:29,769
the thing is that consciousness is a

247
00:16:37,850 --> 00:16:33,870
quantum mechanical measurement device

248
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:37,860
consider for example the electron spin

249
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:45,130
which is the has a value of 1/2 you

250
00:16:49,079 --> 00:16:46,959
can't measure its components you can

251
00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:49,089
only measure it in one direction and

252
00:16:53,550 --> 00:16:52,000
that direction turns out to have the

253
00:16:55,710 --> 00:16:53,560
same direction that you point your

254
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:55,720
measuring instrument that you orient

255
00:17:00,569 --> 00:16:57,130
your measuring instrument in the

256
00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:00,579
laboratory in the same way you can

257
00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:04,270
orient consciousness to cover a subspace

258
00:17:10,890 --> 00:17:07,089
of state vectors and that is where

259
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:10,900
events will emerge so consciousness acts

260
00:17:19,770 --> 00:17:17,380
as a a selection device and a

261
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:19,780
measurement device when you put enough

262
00:17:25,199 --> 00:17:22,530
of these when you put many of these

263
00:17:26,699 --> 00:17:25,209
quantum events together these conscious

264
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:26,709
events you get higher orders of

265
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:31,809
consciousness coherent obsequious of

266
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:34,960
elementary events and this is this has

267
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:39,370
the character of psychophysical law now

268
00:17:46,010 --> 00:17:43,260
any good hypothesis in order to be a

269
00:17:49,890 --> 00:17:46,020
candidate for theory should be testable

270
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:49,900
a consciousness hypothesis has been

271
00:17:55,860 --> 00:17:53,250
tested many times in paranormal effects

272
00:17:58,049 --> 00:17:55,870
these are not well accepted in

273
00:18:01,560 --> 00:17:58,059
mainstream science so I've looked for

274
00:18:05,010 --> 00:18:01,570
other tests one good test is the

275
00:18:09,149 --> 00:18:05,020
resonance models of will if we can find

276
00:18:12,149 --> 00:18:09,159
correlations between mental intention

277
00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:12,159
and conscious feelings and the

278
00:18:17,549 --> 00:18:14,799
resonances in neural networks and motor

279
00:18:20,340 --> 00:18:17,559
networks we have a test Dean Radin works

280
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:20,350
in this area another test is the

281
00:18:25,950 --> 00:18:23,280
quantization of space-time which is a

282
00:18:29,850 --> 00:18:25,960
high-energy physics type of problem and

283
00:18:32,430 --> 00:18:29,860
is somewhat beyond the scope of our

284
00:18:35,820 --> 00:18:32,440
technology at this point but based on

285
00:18:38,399 --> 00:18:35,830
the direct vectors which are quanta of

286
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:38,409
space-time this is a possible test of

287
00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:41,049
the future second law violations are

288
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:43,840
been tested as George Williams observed

289
00:18:52,529 --> 00:18:49,809
and as you will see in a later paper in

290
00:18:57,499 --> 00:18:52,539
this conference given by Daniel Sheehan

291
00:19:01,080 --> 00:18:57,509
of the University of San Diego Sheehan

292
00:19:04,139 --> 00:19:01,090
has done experiments which appear to

293
00:19:06,710 --> 00:19:04,149
violate the second law and is attempting

294
00:19:09,239 --> 00:19:06,720
to harvest energy out of the heat sink

295
00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:09,249
finally there may be tests of virtual

296
00:19:13,259 --> 00:19:11,440
absorption if we can find ultra low

297
00:19:15,210 --> 00:19:13,269
frequency cut-offs in the microwave

298
00:19:18,149 --> 00:19:15,220
background due to virtual absorption

299
00:19:25,590 --> 00:19:18,159
which are predictable that'll be another

300
00:19:30,629 --> 00:19:25,600
test very good so in summary I talked

301
00:19:35,789 --> 00:19:30,639
about the application of quantum fields

302
00:19:39,090 --> 00:19:35,799
and raising and lowering operations the

303
00:19:42,169 --> 00:19:39,100
operators are conscious events the field

304
00:19:43,739 --> 00:19:42,179
itself is virtual I've discussed

305
00:19:46,379 --> 00:19:43,749
retrocausality

306
00:19:49,099 --> 00:19:46,389
and how it is consistent with the second

307
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:49,109
law and certain cosmological problems

308
00:19:56,700 --> 00:19:52,720
try to make that clear consciousness

309
00:19:59,700 --> 00:19:56,710
operators support electromagnetic wave

310
00:20:03,779 --> 00:19:59,710
coherence which is where the actual

311
00:20:06,779 --> 00:20:03,789
consciousness in living systems appears

312
00:20:08,729 --> 00:20:06,789
and finally review we reviewed second

313
00:20:13,979 --> 00:20:08,739
law violation and observational

314
00:20:15,989 --> 00:20:13,989
causality so my reply to the skeptics at

315
00:20:21,509 --> 00:20:15,999
the end of the day never mind it doesn't

316
00:20:27,649 --> 00:20:21,519
matter and with that I think I'm ready

317
00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:34,379
okay York let's hear from New York well

318
00:20:52,259 --> 00:20:46,820
have far too much to say to fit into a

319
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:52,269
politely long question so I would simply

320
00:20:58,730 --> 00:20:55,330
like to comment from from the word go

321
00:21:01,499 --> 00:20:58,740
and also from your last slide the

322
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:01,509
raising and lowering operators for

323
00:21:06,769 --> 00:21:04,210
example are just symbols that describe

324
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:06,779
mathematical relationships saying that

325
00:21:11,399 --> 00:21:09,250
raising and lowering operators are

326
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:11,409
conscious events is a category error

327
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:15,490
along the lines of saying that a a blob

328
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:18,370
of blue ink on a map is the water in San

329
00:21:29,549 --> 00:21:27,129
Francisco Bay yeah and reply I don't pay

330
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:29,559
too much attention to category errors

331
00:21:40,430 --> 00:21:36,210
and my intent was to equate or

332
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:40,440
coordinate the mathematical process of

333
00:21:48,029 --> 00:21:44,529
raising and lowering as a field operator

334
00:21:52,740 --> 00:21:48,039
with a conscious event which is made up

335
00:21:54,210 --> 00:21:52,750
and formed by the two basic binary event

336
00:21:55,860 --> 00:21:54,220
operations which I call the

337
00:21:58,430 --> 00:21:55,870
consciousness operators thank you for

338
00:22:01,499 --> 00:21:58,440
the comments a good comment

339
00:22:06,149 --> 00:22:01,509
yeah I've been talking to Henry Stapp

340
00:22:09,149 --> 00:22:06,159
recently and he suggests another test

341
00:22:15,139 --> 00:22:09,159
that you can add to your list of tests

342
00:22:18,149 --> 00:22:15,149
of quantum mechanics and that is to do a

343
00:22:21,950 --> 00:22:18,159
small modification of the retro

344
00:22:26,879 --> 00:22:21,960
causality experiments of Biermann and

345
00:22:29,570 --> 00:22:26,889
BEM which is when the random number

346
00:22:33,590 --> 00:22:29,580
generator which is in the future chooses

347
00:22:36,190 --> 00:22:33,600
which side to have a group of observers

348
00:22:39,310 --> 00:22:36,200
looking at the random number

349
00:22:43,389 --> 00:22:39,320
generator and he claims that the

350
00:22:47,409 --> 00:22:43,399
retrocausality should vanish so that's a

351
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:47,419
very feasible test of these connections

352
00:22:52,060 --> 00:22:49,610
between consciousness and quantum

353
00:22:54,789 --> 00:22:52,070
mechanics that should be added to our

354
00:22:58,149 --> 00:22:54,799
various lists I'm just curious what you

355
00:23:03,070 --> 00:22:58,159
think of that okay when you say it

356
00:23:08,259 --> 00:23:03,080
should vanish I interpret that as

357
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:08,269
meaning that it will be in the nature of

358
00:23:34,910 --> 00:23:29,480
okay I don't think I agree with that but

359
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:34,920
I would be happy to I'd like to explore

360
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:38,910
that further thanks for the car man

361
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:40,930
thank you very much
