What is CONSCIOUSNESS?

 What is consciousness?  What is the definition of consciousness?

 These are the questions which are still deep secrets for man.

 Is consciousness the name of a neural cognitive property, your knowing that there is a wall in front of you, your sense of what state I am in, and your thinking are all productive properties of consciousness?

 In fact, we are not familiar enough with consciousness to fully understand it, but over the past few decades we have begun to gain some basic knowledge about consciousness, from which we now know that consciousness is indeed a reality.  It is deeper and more fundamental than physical reality and non-physical reality.

 Some intelligent scientists have reached its basis in knowing its nature and in their opinion the basis of consciousness is hiding its existence at the quantum level.

 When we study the universe at the quantum level, we know that the foundations from which our universe is built are the quantum foundations of every reality in this universe, the source of every existence in this universe is common.

 To know the reality of consciousness, when we reach its sources in our research journey, we find them in the form of cosmic quantum sources.

 The container in which our consciousness resides is inside our brain, in "The Integrated Information Theory," brain scientist Guoli Tanoni theorizes that the sense of consciousness is an integrated packet of information that enters our brain and is indivisible.  In the reduced state, our brain receives external information from the sensory organs and stores it in the form of a network.  According to him, we can understand the reality of consciousness with the help of quantum mechanics.

Sir Roger Penrose, an eminent mathematical physicist at Oxford University, strongly believes that consciousness has quantum origins.  Sir Roger is a great scientist of the present century who has done research on milky black holes with Stephen Hawking.

 Sir Roger has worked with anesthesiologist Stewart Hamroff on the science of mixed consciousness, Sir Roger has developed a radical theory of the brain's conscious reality, according to which our consciousness is not a mechanical neural product.  It is as if a product is produced by the efficiency of a machine, but if we want to understand the reality of consciousness, then we have to adopt the understanding of revolutionary thinking in the reality of the physical world around us. According to Sir Roger, in fact, the reality of consciousness is hidden in the quantum level.

 Sir Roger describes a quantum term to explain the origins of consciousness. According to this term, the origins of consciousness exist in different forms or network until they come together in a state of computational continuity termed "quantum entanglement".  which together exhibit different quantum properties.

 Sir Roger created a theory on this called (orchestrated objective reduction) for short Orch.

Sir Roger, with the help of Dr. Hamroff, articulates his theory that this quantum connection resides in the structure "microtubules" in the neurons of our brain.  We perceive the information in the form of consciousness.

 And consciousness remains in the form of quantum information as long as it provided a suitable environment for it.

 But this theory was criticized in its early days by other scientists, most famously by the physicist Max Tedmark, who argued that it was difficult for quantum phenomena to occur within the warm environment of the brain.  Sir Roger's friend Stephen Hawking also disagreed with his view.

 But Sir Roger and Hamroff continue their research, in 2013 a team of scientists at Japan gathered some research evidence in support of Sir Roger's theory, observing quantum oscillations inside microtubules, which at the time were completely unknown.  But it was not enough for the scientific proof of his complete theory, but it gave Sir Roger and Dr. Hamroff a new direction to their research and the first clear indication that Sir Roger's theory was proved to be correct.

 In 2017, Sir Roger opened an institute to further research his theory and he hopes he is heading in the right direction.

 To find the relationship between consciousness and quantum mechanics, many other scientists presented their own hypotheses, all of which are different from each other, but no scientific progress could be made about them.

Research so far has come out in favor of consciousness and quantum mechanics

 Quantum Factors in Photosynthesis:

 In 2007, a team of plant scientists researching photosynthesis came across some startling observations: electron effects at the molecular level involved quantum effects in the biological factors of molecules.  Many scientists were deeply curious about this bio-quantum combination.

 In fact, of deep curiosity to quantum scientists here was the inappropriate temperature within which quantum factors were thought to be difficult to establish.

 The presence of this quantum process in living molecules and cells was surprising, but more research was needed on it. This research made it easy to understand the secret of the story of the journey of thousands of miles by migratory birds.

 Artificial Neural Network:

 Thanks to the success in Artificial Neural Networking in the last few years, the science of quantum consciousness seems to be developing on real foundations, from which it can be tested experimentally through Quantum Computers and Artificial Neural Networks in the future.

 Successful experiments on artificial consciousness are coming out through artificial neural network, which makes it easier to understand biological quantum consciousness.

 Quantum Mechanics in Phosphorus:

 In 2015, Matthew Fischer published his scientific research in which he mentioned the observation of quantum effects in the biological form of phosphorus that contributed to the understanding of quantum consciousness.

 The possibility of neural quantum characterization in birds:

 Many scientists believe that migratory birds that travel thousands of miles without gaining recognition of the earth's surface may get their destinations from the quantum nerves in their brains with the help of the earth's magnetic dimensions.

 Migratory birds travel thousands of miles to the south each year to escape the harsh winters.Flying at such high altitudes that they lose sight of the surface of the earth, they travel blind to the geography of the earth's surface.  Yes, the answer to the question of how they reach their destinations is probably due to the property of quantum factors in their brains, which they combine with the magnetic dimensions of the earth to determine their exact dimensions.  Through the process of "spin" the quantum process within the molecules in their brains, they know the pole of the earth. This consciousness of birds is purely quantum.

Involvement of Quantum Mechanics in the Sense of Smell:

 We humans distinguish hundreds of different flavors through our noses, how does this distinction work at a deeper level than the neural level?

 According to the theoretical chemist Luca Torn, the shape and nature of the odor molecules alone are not sufficient to tell what flavor the molecule will taste like, but this property is caused by the binding of the odor molecule to our sensory receptor, which is quantum.  In the form of tunneling, Torn has also proved the quantum predictions correct in his research idea.

 In 2013, a team of scientists at a scientific laboratory in Japan observed regular quantum oscillations in microtubules in the brain, which proved that Sir Roger was right.  Among the scientists, it was first recognized as correct on the basis of evidence, from which the theory of quantum consciousness was established on a scientific basis.

 Orchestrated objective reduction theory

 (Orch Theory)

 Sir Roger Penrose pushed a theory that tried to understand "consciousness" on a scientific basis, this theory was a purely bio-quantum theory in which the main characteristic of life is "consciousness", the basis and source of which is quantum.  researched on the surface.

 According to this theory, consciousness is not a product of internal physical factors, but it is organized by quantum factors at the quantum level within neurons, which are organized under the quantum process "Objective Reduction" in microtubules cells.  Anesthesiologist Stewart Hamroff also joined Sir Roger in researching the microtubule's internal factors, and both formulated eight sub-hypotheses and twenty predictions to scientifically test the theory, six of which  Observations of quantum oscillations of microtubules in Chapan proved true, and in 2015, nuclear spin quantum entanglement in phosphorus atoms was shown to support quantum consciousness.

 Sir Roger and Humeroff's theory of quantum consciousness has been criticized by both physicists and neuroscientists.  The occurrence of quantum factors in photosynthesis, the observations of the occurrence of quantum factors in many hot and liquid environments in 2007, and the experiments of quantum effects in tubulin molecules in 2014 completely refuted this major criticism.

 Now, when most scientists are asked whether our consciousness is quantum, some of these scientists answer "yes" according to the discussion so far.

Currently, many intelligent scientists and experts are doing research on quantum consciousness.

 The research journey of science is not static and neither its proven or unproven ideas are static or irrevocable, these ideas are refined and modified day by day which are always in the direction of reality, their journey covers hundreds of years.  In which many questions and criticisms are answered.
