Quantum Theory and Free Will - a reading - Episode 5 - Free Will Beyond Time

Is there such a thing as backwards-in-time causation? What was the significance of the delayed choice experiment, done by John Archibald Wheeler? Can an observation can cause events prior to the observation? Henry Stapp (and I) would suggest, given the evidence, that the experimenter's free choice …

Conversations Beyond Science and Religion – Henry Stapp and The Mindlike Reality

This week’s guest, Henry Stapp, “one of the foremost minds of our generaton,” worked with Wolfgang Pauli and Werner Heisenberg, two of the founders of modern quantum theory. This theory, which toppled the classical mechanical worldview, is still slowly permeating modern thought, a century after its…

#22 - Quantum Zeno Effect: using your quantum mind to change your digital brain

In episode 22 of the Quantum Consciousness series, Justin Riddle discusses the quantum Zeno effect, the idea that with rapid measurement a system can be locked into its current state indefinitely. In the previous episode, we talked about how movement is the transition of a system from a fixed physi…

#34 - In defense of freewill: three ways that consciousness might collapse the wave function

In episode 34 of the Quantum Consciousness series, Justin Riddle puts forth a defense of freewill. In a deterministic universe guided by physical principles, there is no room for freewill. Surely, we must succumb to the crushing reality that our choices do not matter, that the self is an illusion, …

Why is Consciousness Baffling?

How does consciousness weave its magical web of inner awareness-appreciating music, enjoying art, feeling love? Even when all mental functions may be explained, the great mystery—what it "feels like" inside—will likely remain. This episode features interviews with Charles Tart, Roger Walsh, Raymon…

Do Human Brains Have Free Will?

Donate to Closer To Truth and help us keep our content free and without paywalls.   Free will seems the simplest of notions. Why then is free will so vexing to philosophers? Here's why: no one knows how free will works! Science, seemingly, permits no "gaps" in which free will can operate.   Thi…

366 — The Dreamlike Nature of Reality: Not Just a Metaphor With Paul Levy

Are you living a robotic, automated life and unable or unwilling to do the work of being truly conscious? With tools like quantum physics at your disposal, you can begin to dissolve the structures and programming that prevent you from achieving your life’s goals and helping others. Paul Levy shares…

The Quantum Frontier

Quantum mechanics is well known for its strangeness and may not only control the movement of subatomic particles but could also shape what it means to have any experience at all. In this episode, Kate explores the provocative idea that consciousness might arise from the unpredictable, entangled wor…
