The guy is a schmuck.

He is making stuff up as he goes along. He quotes statements made by physicists incorrectly and makes ridiculous similes.

Reality has nothing to do with conciousness. Reality is real and it doesn't matter if you recognize it or not.

I was afraid that he was going to get to perception is reality and that fear was realized with his talk. Perception is NOT reality, Reality is reality.

People like him sicken me.

The Double Slit experiment and Quantum Entanglement have not only been theorized by Einstein (spooky action at a distance) a long time ago but confirmed by multiple experiments. When particles behave differently depending on whether they are being observed or not, or act as one whole particle no matter the distance between them, it does make one pause and think about the alternative view on what the Universe really is. I think we will discover many more mind boggling facts the deeper we look.

If the Universe gifts life and consciousness, I would not discount an idea that Universe itself is conscious so quickly. I think we have much to learn yet and conventional science is only putting a small dent into answering the basics of questions about the Universe. We know about 5% of the Universe so far.

I guess many world renowned scientists would sicken then. It's not a new concept. https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science...ous-ncna772956


Ever since the 1920s, physicists have puzzled over the strangely privileged role of the observer in quantum theory. A particle exists in a fuzzy state of uncertainty…but only until it is observed. As soon as someone looks at it and takes its measurements, the particle seems to collapse into a definite location.

The late physicist John Wheeler concluded that the apparent oddity of quantum mechanics was built on an even grander and odder truth: that the universe as a whole festers in a state of uncertainty and snaps into clear, actual being when observed by a conscious being — that is, us.

“We are participators in bringing into being not only the near and here but the far away and long ago,” Wheeler said in 2006. He calls his interpretation the “participatory anthropic principle.” If he is correct, the universe is conscious, but in almost the opposite of the way that Matloff pictures it: Only through the acts of conscious minds does it truly exist at all.

Not surprising since the author of that article is:
Steven Paul Novella is an American clinical neurologist and assistant professor at Yale University School of Medicine. Novella is best known for his involvement in the "skeptical movement".

After reading that article, I am not so sure Novella understands the significance of the double slit experiment himself. What about the Copenhagen and Many Worlds interpretation? https://youtu.be/dzKWfw68M5U
