Thank you both for such a wonderful conversation / discussion. Brilliance!

wow i just got this wave function listening to this talk. My mind is blown!! My next question is.. if the wave function is possibilities that collapses given the dimensional restraints of the observer, then this would suggest nature in its purest form does not come from a single big bang because our investigations thus far are based in our observed results and theories based on our dimensional restraints and that any such investigations that have been or will ever be done will always be a small subset of a bigger series of sets that nature cannot show due to our limitations of existence or consciousness. If we get crazy on this and somewhat self indulgent then as we progress to an extent where we are able to communicate at some point to others in not only our universe but other universes, the truth of nature as it truly is an amalgamation of investigations and findings on such esoteric topics from various civilizations from here and other countless universes. If this is the case even somewhat plausible, the true nature of the universe and others is truly an epic journey and appreciating the effort put in by those individuals dedicated to these area's is certainly epic and deserves respect from generations past, now and to come.

I am familiar with henry's published works and papers, but this is the first time i have ever watched an interview of henry stapp. Gotta say, this was a pretty damn good interview :)

Really valuable conversation. Thank you

I have always felt that 2 Samuel 24 was about the collapse of a wave function. People (I think rather mistakenly) think that the parable is all about pride and King David's folly being his own self-interest, but I think that's just a projection of insecurities onto the story. The real sin, in my view, is that mystical Judaism values alternative probabilities and the vastness of non-assumption. To measure something so extensively is to collapse the wave function. It is to define, and perhaps incorrectly at that. Anyway, brilliant conversation here. Wonderful discussion in the video. What a clear, comprehensive dialogue. One of the best I've heard to date. I'll leave you with this little bit of something from our old pal Chuang Tzu: "Why is the world the way that it is? Why are things the way that they are? Because we make them that way." Rather fascinating man, that Chuang Tzu. I hope everyone that reads this has a delightful day. Namaste~

Just curious; is the collapse of the wave function that Q physicists talk about in describing QR the same as cosmic consequences or higher brain functions experience during TM?

These physicsest are telling the truth about future like Michio Kaku thank you

Seems to me that the fundamental choice is whether or not to ask the question; to not make any measurement. If the word "table" enters consciousness upon observation, then a separate, distinct phenomena appears to that observer. If no thought enters the consciousness of the observer, no separate, distinct phenomena appear. The uncollapsed wave function is analogy for the state of samahdi. When no cognitive measurements/distinctions are made, via conceptualization, there is no collapse of the wave function. The result is an experience of choiceless, unified physical action with the rest of the universe, where there exists no separate "I", but only a singular consciousness. Experience reality in the thought-free state and you will come to REALIZE this in/as your own life.

Aloha, John - you may not remember me from Phi Tau, but it would be very valuable to consider the role of condensates as the non-ordinary material substrate of the mind.

It's the Oversoul which you are talking about and it cannot be put into form because it holds all of its soul fragments as a singular unit, and not as separate particle fragment..

If we assume that we are separate observers, It seems to me there would be chaos as we would all be collapsing the universe into separate realities. Yet we all seem to experience the same reality as far as the physical world around us. What if there is only one observer in our universe? What if this observer is experiencing life through all life forms and matter simultaneously, everywhere? What if life (the mind) is a kind of antenna that channels this universal consciousness? That might help explain why the chimp or the dog or the cat would also see the same green desk as we are all part of the one. Great stuff! Thanks for this awesome video.

It seems to be no different from Berkeley's ad hoc explanation for the exact thing you're trying to address, which was to posit God as a universal observer in order to "collapse the wave function" (he did not know this term obviously, but that was what he was describing) globally and make sure things existed even when they were not observed by anything else.

If the brain is just a filter which keeps you dissociated from mind at large, then the lack/absence of brain activity should damage the dissociation. And that’s exactly what happens.

We can talk about this all day long if you want to.

If two different observers simultaneously "ask" nature the same question, do they both get the same answer? Does the wave function collapse the same for both observers?

What about the wave function collapse with multiple quantum observers? They would all have differing subjective experiences, But the information is already "saved" in a digital wave of objective EXPERIENCE we are currently watching as a KZread video. My question? Does the information itself have potential to collapse in a completely different formation? For example, while we all observe we notice things like Dr.Hagelin sitting in a chair, now that man and chair are already collapsed in his experience, but what about us observing and re-collapsing already collapsed information? Does it change?

So maybe the fact that superposition of states and the quantum theory laws only apply at a micro scale has to do with that conscious observation has certain limitations as our perception is limited to macro scale. However I don't understand where does this assumption come from that it's the conscious observer, not the measurment device, what causes the wave function to collapse.

Both were tried, conscious observer and a measuring device, the wave function collapses either way. Indirect observation. The discussion between Einstein and Bohr about the moon is a good example. If we aimed a laser at the mirror and everyone collectively turned away from the moon and fired the beam we'd find the moon is still there because it shares a relationship with Earth. The moment it flittered out of existence our tides would feel the effect. Any microscopic and sub-atomic particle composing the moon is in a relationship with other particles. Whereas an singular photon or electron being fired has minimal passing relationships with air atoms until hitting the back wall. With atoms composing a large object, maybe only one atom needs to be observed giving it a set value that is then matched with all other atoms in that enclosed system, otherwise half an object could exist in this universe, the other half in another universe. Observation or not if we try the 2x slit experiment with a tennis ball it doesn't work because those particles are in a set relationship composing an object.

Tomek Samcik the real problem in quantum mechanics is that quanta can not be observed at all. Only events that occur as a result of forced interactions with particles can be observed, and these don’t involve the particle because it has been destroyed. So only assumptions regarding quanta can ever be made. I suppose that’s why it’s called « theoretical » physics

Okay, completely untrained mind here. Would the wave/particle-- function/collapse describe the same two states as the case with a tree falling where there is an observer, or isn't? The simile requires there's the event of the tree falling, but it still questions whether the sound waves are collapsed by the hearing functions of the observer. Is it metaphorical, or literal?

Mind has access to immediate knowledge! The physical brain employs logical processes to come to knowledge! This is the main difference between the two! There is an "infinite" field of knowledge which pure mind draws on! Put another way, the mind knows things A-Priori, while the Brain knows things A-Posteriori!!

Isn't our mind simply our conceptual framework and might this be somewhat independent of neural connectivity in the sense that the same conceptual relationships can be implemented in various ways in terms of the underlying neural structures? So if two people have the same concepts and these concepts are related in the same way, they might still differ in their neural structure that gives rise to these conceptual relationships, but perhaps we could still identify this correspondence in the way they relate the concepts based on an analysis of the underlying neural structures? It seems somewhat similar to the way humans identify patterns as information. For instance, a particular pattern of photons in a fiber-optic cable might constitute a particular image (say a jpg file), but the same image might also be constituted by a particular pattern of electrons on a memory stick. So there is a kind of dualism between empirically observable patterns in energy or matter on the one hand and abstract information on a conceptual level like a bitstring, regardless of how it's constituted in some empirically observable form (like we might store a jpg file in a DNA molecule).

As if to say: "okay we'll admit you were right about the "thought creates" thing all along, but we were right too!" ...and maybe both are right.

Joe, check out the writings and research of Bernardo Kastrup. He proposes that the only fundamental thing is a single universal consciousness, and that all of us are "dissociated alters" of that mind, precisely as in the sense of split personalities. He cites clinical evidence that some patients with dissociated personality disorder have had dreams in which multiple of their personalities show up and interact. FASCINATING. It seems like a completely plausible scenario to me. What we really need to make an idea like this stick is exactly what Donald Hoffman is working on - a full derivation of observational physics starting from the base consciousness level. Hoffman has succeeded in producing the quantum equation of a free particle from his mathematics of conscious agents - long way to go, but it's a start.

I find interesting the idea of the "Observer", let us remember from the double split experiment with the observation at what slit the (Photon, electron, or buckyball) went thru was dependent on the knowledge the observer was going to gain later. Find this point interesting because it doesn't obey the concept of time. Either the photon knew the observation was collecting data for knowledge or it wasn't. I also take that everything in reality that will be viewed in future, has already collapsed its wave function. What is going thru my mind is the concept of emergent time and the entangled photon experiments. Maybe someone can comment on my thoughts and explain my error or add onto the thought.

You'd need to expand the definition of "observer" to include non-life stuff, otherwise there would be no wave function collapse in a pre-life stage of a universe. If we are to assume that wave function collapse must be possible in order for the first instance of a lifeform to emerge in a universe, we also need to assume that the fundamental/primordial particles themselves must be able to perform the collapse-causing role of the "observer" in order to carry a universe from its "big bang" into that moment of the emergence of life.

That is what we call a "non sequitur"; it does not follow. What you are is an entity, popularly called a self, which has both consciousness and free will. Consciousness lagging a bit behind the will is to be expected, just as if you kick a ball towards a goal, it will take some time for the ball to fly through the air and end up inside the goal. It is still the will which initiates the action. The identity of the knowing subject and the willing subject was very thoroughly explained by Schopenhauer; I recommend starting with On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, and then The World as Will and Representation, he assumes you to be familiar with the former before embarking upon the latter.

@@moonsod1113: Self-contradictory nonsense. Reality by definition is real. Thus saying that reality is not real is by definition false. It's akin to saying that the shadows on the walls in Plato's cave are not real, which is also false; they might indeed be shadows cast by objects in a higher dimension (which indeed they are in that case, 2-dimensional shadows being cast by 3-dimensional objects), but they are still real. All levels of existence are ultimately real, and there must be a correspondence between them. Thus saying that "this reality is not real" is, like I opened with, total nonsense. The reality you observe must ultimately have a direct correspondence with whatever reality you posit to lie beyond, and they are all real. «On the other hand, might cognitive syntax reside in an external "ideal" realm analogous to Plato's world of Parmenidean forms? Plato’s ideal abstract reality is explicitly set apart from actual concrete reality, the former being an eternal world of pure form and light, and the latter consisting of a cave on whose dirty walls shift murky, contaminated shadows of the ideal world above. However, if they are both separate and in mutual correspondence, these two realities both occupy a more basic joint reality enforcing the correspondence and providing the metric of separation. If this more basic reality is then juxtaposed to another, then there must be a more basic reality still, and so on until finally we reach the most basic level of all. At this level, there will (by definition) be no separation between the abstract and concrete phases, because there will be no more basic reality to provide it or enforce a remote correspondence across it. This is the inevitable logical terminus of "Plato’s regress".» It's really just another form of the simulation hypothesis, but failing to recognize that any simulation must necessarily have its basis in a common ground state between simulator and simulee. «As the term “reality” is undefined beyond this hypothetical relationship, the Simulation Hypothesis is indifferent to the details, e.g., where the host system is located, how the host system works, who or what created and/or controls the host system, and in what respects the simulation resembles the higher reality containing it. But in any case, there must be an ultimate all-inclusive reality or “ontic ground state” that contains and supports whatever reality-simulations may exist, and it is natural to ask whether some aspects of the simulation concept may apply to it. The Reality Self-Simulation Principle states that ultimate reality is itself a natural reflexive self-simulation in which all intelligible levels of reality must exist whether simulated or not.»

Over in the sidebar there is a panel discussion with Henry, Donald Hoffman, and Chris Fields. So, no John, but it does get Stapp and Hoffman together.

This stuff that Stapp is on about is perfectly simple and straightforward to anyone who understands the samhita. Perception is either subjective or objective: perceiver sees the object of perception as it actually is, or through the subjective prejudices that it already has So a white racist will perceive a black person as inferior, stupid, conniving etc etc whilst perceiving itself to be entirely free of all such defects . This is subjective perception. A balanced white person will see the black person as a human being with the same potential as anyone else, good or bad, and ditto itself . This is objective perception. So in practical terms (the observer, the quanta): when the black man makes a statement, you have subjective or objective positions. You have the objective fact of whether the statement is true or false. This is unalterable You have a balanced white man with the need to ascertain the truth or otherwise of the black man’s statement, plus the tools and methods he uses. This is objective perception. Then you have the racist white man’s presumption that the statement is false because it is made by a black man. This is subjective perception At quantum level objective perception is not possible because the quantum cannot be observed. All deductions concerning its nature are therefore subjective because they result from prejudice and observation of events connected to the quantum. “Probability” only exists at quantum level because of the impossibility to observe quanta, so a whole culture to justify unscientific assumptions and deductions has had to be developed. In quantum mechanical terms the statement is the quantum, which cannot be observed because it has no objective existence, the black man and the white man represent the environment in which events concerning the statement may be induced to ascertain its nature and the white nan represents the observer with three sets of probabilities; his own degree of objectivity, the truth or falsity of the statement, the extent to which perception of the black man plus data to which the statement refers can be accurately assessed. These are real potentialities in the real world. There is no need to invoke the limitations of the laws of classical physics to describe the difficulties of quantum physics. Science never ceases to emphasise it’s character as a pure, conscientious and professional objective perceiver, but 90% of the time fails to live up to its perception of itself, like the whites racist. The 10% who do contrive to fulfil their integrity suffer marginalisation and suppression and are blocked from access to funds through refusing to subscribe to the hyperbole used by the 90% It’s a bad world we live in, and the good that remains now seems to be trapped in a vicious circle of corruption.

A Crazy man can ask more questions than a wise man can answer ?? So a last if we can change the memory of the matter so we add energy but change the memory below the heisenberg thingy the lowest level and we add energy or we take a heavy atom and change it can it become a basis for the replicator of star trek ? Can we use something like electrochemical printing and a guiding energy like a magnetic field or a high frequency field beyond x-rays and also electrostatics to get a printer of material any material ??? And if we are actually the observer can we than prove if we have a scientific correct experiment that proves past life that the brain is only our thinking organ ??? If the brain works to quantum levels is it than more than a neural network and also a quantum computer perhaps ??? Than are we in a way more interstellar and more than the sum of nature and nurture ??? so a nice way of seeing things is caused by this kind of thought you proposed???

At last the greatest of minds at the very forefront of science have begun to break down the shackles of physicality in science. This is where the quests of a true hindu and his self realization on conciousness find consonance with quantum theories' findings. One will find that in Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma actually) morality is not a human tenet that is reinforced with dire consequences on transgression but rather there is a law of Cause & Effect which is in harmony with the cosmic cycle. The Advaita Veda says "Brahma satyam Jagat Mithya" which means Brahman is real, the universe is mithya (it cannot be categorized as either real or unreal). The cosmos is Brahman itself and not different..(Brahman is eternal, conscious, irreducible, infinite, omnipresent, and the spiritual core of the universe of finiteness and change). John Hagelin and Henry actually embody the original spirit of quest for truth which is enshrined in the basis of Sanatana Dharma where traditionally the seeker acquires self realization through experience of conciousness, whereas phycisists approach through hypothesis and mathematical approaches. A great conversation indeed!

Yet all semiconductors and every computer works because of ''Quantum Tunneling'' by the electrons within the semiconductors. All Transistors are semiconductors and all Computer Chips are millions of Transistors. Ask any Electronics Engineer about this!

That also brings up a question wheather an insect can collapse a wave function ? What I would propose is a double slit experiment with a measurement interpreted by some third party cockroaches.

Tomek Samcik Let me clear your cluttered mind in simple words without going to technical jargon. What Double slit quantum experiment did was to validate Hindu/vedic high philosophies of ageless Vedas. In other words, according to Hindu/vedic philosophy like Advaita - every atom is encompassed by consciousness. without which you cannot perceive matter in its current form. According to Sankhya philosophy of hinduism which combined both dual and non dual high philosophies - Observed (matter) cannot be perceived without the observer (consciousness). So it doesn't matter whether it is you or some insect or cockroach, matter in its current form cannot be perceived without consciousness. It is also the basis for Karma (ancient hindu science of cause and effect) and re-incarnation

kashsoldier Double slit quantum experiment doesn't validate any philosophies, it merely shows that light displays characteristics of both waves and particles, but cannot be observed as both at the same time. Copenhagen Interpretation that assumes role of consciousness in wave function collapse is only one of the possible explanations of this phenomenon. It may as well be that the wave function collapse happens the moment information about the particle position is being "recorded" - forced to leave some trace. In this explanation you provided you use the term observer and you assume that is has to be associated with conscioussness, so what makes the observer conscious, is a video camera also a conscious observer ?

@@TomekSamcik69: No offense, but you are still trapped deep within the materialist paradigm when you ask a question like "what makes the observer conscious?"; by asking such a question, you are still implicitly making the assumption that there is such a thing as a material observer, and that consciousness is a quality this observer "has", but this is not true. It is rather the other way around: consciousness itself is the observer, anything it observes, including material objects like the body, only exist inside consciousness. I could go on at length about this, but if you haven't already, I suggest your read Monadology by Leibniz, Critique of Pure Reason by Kant, and The World as Will and Representation by Schopenhauer; I suspect plowing through these works (with Monadology being a mere minor appetizer compared to the other two works) will answer a lot of questions you've been having, but which you have hitherto not been able to resolve due to not having been able to fully let go of metaphysical materialism.

Fortune cookies are real. The ripples they cause in space and time depends on the observer. The observer's power to find any synchronicity to focus on is a matter of faith. To most observers a fortune cookie is meaningless and random because people don't see the same things. The contents of all fortune cookies is the same until read by an observer. If two or more observers open and read the same fortune cookie their synchronicity may become entangled. Flipping coins does the same thing. They create order out of chase narrowing probability into something that makes sense.

Well.... From Matthew 7, quoting Jesus, "7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

How did the Hindu manage to say that the ''Universe is an Illusion''? They referred to it as ''Maya of GOD''. The word ''maya'' is of Sanskrit origing and means ''illusion'' or UNREAL. Thus reality is UNREAL. My question is how did the Hindu's realise this many many years ago?

its quantum bullshit. the wave didn't collapse. it was not formed in the first place. the detector prevented the interference pattern from forming. if you understand holograms you will understand how a beam of particles or light or electrons create interference pattern. the beam must interfere with itself to to create a interference pattern. if the self interference does not happend, the beam will create nothing. the detector electron absorber caused electrons to be attracted to the detector and bend the path away from the center between the slits and prevented the mirred beam from interfering with itself. if you have a positive charged body in a vacuum, you can cause the path of electrons to bend toward that body instead of going straight. that means when the detector was off the beam hit the center between the slits and reflected back to itself. when the detector was on the beam bendt and went trough one of the slits. not sure exactly but if a laser interfer with itself int create multiple bands and fewer it its is slightly off the 180 degree perpendicular path with itself.

Wave function collapse does not exist in reality. Wave function collapse is technique used in a mathematical problem solving in physics theory. Many things some people assume exist in physics theory do not exist in reality. Much of the confusion comes from trying to explain the surprising results of particle 2 slit experiments. For the most logical explanation of these results, you can view my video, "Particle 2 Slit Experiments Explained By Paul Marostica". If you are still interested after that, I have 1 other video about quantum theory, which will help you even more. After you've understood what I've explained, you should have a much easier time determining what exists, and what does not exist, in reality. I also have a video about what's wrong with relativity theory. Search keywords: matter theory marostica.

Not really, the Greeks just theorized their could be a particular that could not be divided into smaller particles, ( thus the premature and unfortunate naming of the atom before we discovered it could be split). the Greeks said nothing about wave functions, probabilities, dipoles, EPR, quantum tunneling, wave particle duality, uncertainty principles, entanglement, Bell inequalities, wave function collapse, etc nor did they even imagine the possibility of computers, the internet, mobile phones etc.

Excellent..... thanks 🙏
