We don't know, yet.... :)SUBhttp://khonjtheeternalsearch.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894699215403396256.post-26051990546436896502011-10-08T18:21:23.334+05:302011-10-08T18:21:23.334+05:30Excellent post. A unique soul is without doubt a s...Excellent post. A unique soul is without doubt a spiritual concept. So I would rather not comment on it. Consciousness, though is a different matter. Is there a state separate from the body (there need not be a unique identity as espoused by the concept of a soul), or is consciousness just hardwired in an individual's material brain and subjective reality is a myth; is there a mind-body duality? These are interesting questions to ponder on.<br /><br />The relationship between the inner world of our consciousness and the outer world of nature has for long sparked interest. There are physical laws that define how matter and energy interact in nature. Can consciousness also be scientifically quantified? As some scientists and thinkers believe quantum mechanics may provide the answer.<br /><br />Some interpretations of QM places the observer (or his consciousness) in a special position. Superposed probabilistic wave functions collapse to a definite deterministic state due to an observation by an observer. So the outer world is in essence subjective. The physical laws of this universe are a result of a conscious mind's observation.<br /><br />However, this view raises a lot of paradoxes. What level of consciousness is required for the wave function collapse? Assuming it is human consciousness, then how was there a real universe before humans existed? Assuming it is the consciousness of any life form, what about the real universe that existed before life? How did definite matter exist without QM wave function collapse; or did it?<br /><br />Amit Goswami, a quantum activist swears by a common universal consciousness. If it exists then the above paradoxes can be swept aside.<br /><br />On the other hand, there is also the argument that neurons are classical objects and at the spatial scale of a neuron and the temporal scale of neuron interactions quantum effects hardly play a role. So consciousness is derived from classical interactions. Quantum collapse hardly comes into the picture. So the observer's significance in the universe is a myth and there is an objective reality as opposed to the subjective reality espoused by quantum collapse. But neuro physicists describing consciousness classically cannot account for free will, creativity and the randomness of our thoughts.<br /><br />What is true? We don't, yet. There might be a separation between consciousness and the body. The truth may not be simple after all.<br /><br />Once again, nice post.<br />Cheers,<br />KiranKirklopshttp://www.interstate42.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894699215403396256.post-9940866991937576762011-10-08T18:21:22.803+05:302011-10-08T18:21:22.803+05:30Correction - Last para: "don't know, yet....Correction - Last para: "don't know, yet."Kirklopshttp://www.interstate42.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894699215403396256.post-87949248062038033512011-10-04T23:02:01.538+05:302011-10-04T23:02:01.538+05:30happy Blogoversary Sub!
