Physicist Sohang Gandhi, Ph.D. and science teacher Henry Kandel team up to address this fundamental question. Through an entertaining presentation, small group exercises and a lively Q+A, we will point our intellects right at the heart of the mystery and ask: “What is consciousness and why would physics have anything to do with it?”
The name of the game is “no bullsh*t.” Using minimal jargon and no math, Dr. Gandhi and Henry Kandel will elucidate specific theories within modern physics and the current approaches to the science of consciousness. Specifically, they will discuss a recent framework that connects quantum mechanics to…
