Part 3/11:
In the podcast, Hameroff discusses various theories of consciousness. He describes the common perspective of the brain as a computer, where consciousness is viewed as an emergent property of complex computations. However, he argues that this notion fails to fully explain the phenomenon of consciousness. Instead, he proposes that consciousness may be better understood as "organized ripples or waves in the fine-scale structure of the universe," suggesting a deeper connection to what he terms the Planck scale.
