It is hard to see how one could begin to develop a quantum-theoretical description of brain action when one might well have to regard the brain as "observing itself" all the time!

our present picture of physical reality, particularly in relation to the nature of time, is due for a grand shake up

I would say the universe has a purpose. It's not there just somehow by chance.

There are considerable mysteries surrounding the strange values that Nature's actual particles have for their mass and charge. For example, there is the unexplained 'fine structure constant' ... governing the strength of electromagnetic interactions.

Intelligence cannot be present without understanding. No computer has any awareness of what it does.

Consciousness ... is the phenomenon whereby the universe's very existence is made known.

I'm pretty tenacious when it comes to problems.
