Sir Roger Penrose, an English mathematical physicist, was persuaded by Stuart Hameroff to accept Stuart's theory that microtubules are interconnected with the quantum world. Penrose said, "I have listened to much of Stuart's theories and I have a strong belief he is correct."

No one has really explained the mechanism of anesthesia and consciousness except for Stuart Hameroff. Amazingly, anesthesia affects all living things, including mammals, amphibians, insects, fish, worms, and protozoa.

The theory is that anesthetic effects have something to do with quantum mobility. The anesthetic effects Tubulin, which is a component of microtubules.

The theory posits that consciousness occurs in a multi-scale hierarchical resonance system originating in quantum terahertz oscillations in tubulin/microtubules inside neurons. Consciousness could be more like music than computation.

Penrose stated that conscious understanding is non-computational, and that something outside the computational system is required. This is related to quantum state reduction, collapse of the wave function, and the "measurement problem" in quantum mechanics. A factor related to the underlying structure of the universe (spacetime geometry, quantum gravity) is also involved.

Consciousness is a sequence of conscious moments or events, and memory appears to reside in microtubules.

The problem that arises is that if anesthesia blocks consciousness, why are there no out-of-body experiences under its influence? CONSCIOUSNESS

STUART HAMEROFF Stuart Hameroff is an anesthesiologist and professor at the University of Arizona. He is the co-founder and director of the Center for Consciousness Studies, known for his studies of consciousness, and his controversial contention that consciousness originates from quantum states in neural microtubules. He is also the lead organizer of the Science of Consciousness conference.
