Consciousness and Non-Locality (I): Theoretical Research
The use of quantum entanglement in theories of consciousness and psi, as well as in quantum biology, has always been a subject of debate. Objections to such use are primarily related to the demanding conditions necessary for the creation and maintenance of entanglement, which strongly contrast with the wet and warm environments typical of living organisms. In the case of psi phenomena, there are additional arguments, such as the no-communication theorem of quantum mechanics and the relativistic restriction of the speed of light. The following analysis challenges the prevailing skepticism by highlighting the experimental and theoretical evidence pointing toward the existence of a unique persistent and ubiquitous form of entanglement. Non-locality in quantum mechanics In 1935, Einstein, in collaboration with Podolsky and Rosen (Einstein et al., 1935), introduced a thought experiment based on the emerging mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics (QM). This experiment put fort...
