Our minds feel very private and unique to each of us, yet many researchers suspect our consciousness might plug into something far bigger. A controversial new framework says a quantum entanglement trick could happen inside microtubules, the tiny protein tubes that scaffold every neuron in your head.
Mike Wiest, a neuroscientist at Wellesley College, thinks those tubes may carry quantum information that never stays put.
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where two or more particles become so deeply linked that the state of one instantaneously influences the state of the other, no matter how far apart they are.
When particles are entangled, their properties – such as spin, polarization, or momentum – are correlated in such a way that measuring one particle’s state automatically determines the other’s.
This strange connection defies classical logic and puzzled Einstein, who famously dismissed it as “spooky action at a distance.”
Despite its counterintuitive nature, scientists have experimentally confirmed entanglement countless times, and it now plays a crucial role in technologies like quantum computing and quantum cryptography.
