Is the Brain a Quantum Receiver? Dr. Tiffeny Todd, DemystifySci #340

Tiffeny Todd is a physics professor and filmmaker who became
obsessed with the nature of consciousness after having an out of
body experience and discovering that her field had absolutely no
way of explaining the experience of mind separate from body that
she had. This set her on a quest to discover the theoretical
basis for what had happened to her. Along the way, she discovered
a wealth of literature on parapsychology that suggested it was
possible for the mind to influence the outcome of quantum
experiments, which led her to formulate her theory of vacuum
orchestrated spin signaling, which states that the quantum vacuum
is the source of agency, and that material bodies are agentic
filters for that information - meaning they are the place where
the agency of the vacuum is translated into real action. Our
conversation starts with an exploration of parapsychology and its
overlap with physics, then goes into the specifics of Todd’s
theories, with a significant detour into the nature of
electromagnetism, photons, electrons, what the quantum vacuum is,
and why its mechanics suggest the existence of delocalized agency
that lives in the void. MAKE HISTORY WITH US THIS

Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia
University. When not talking to brilliant people or making
movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding
backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia
studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not
in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both
freelance professors at various universities. PATREON: get
