Quantum consciousness in warm, wet, and noisy brain

TL;DR

This paper proposes that quantum consciousness arises from hydrogen ion flows in brain water, which can exhibit superfluidity and quantum effects like tunneling and interference, influenced by the brain's unique water phases and external infrasound.

Contribution

It introduces a model linking hydrogen ion dynamics in brain water to quantum consciousness, incorporating superfluid states and quantum effects via modified fluid equations.

Findings

Hydrogen ion flows can be described by a nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

External infrasound may induce superfluid states in brain water.

Quantum effects like tunneling and interference are possible in this model.

Abstract

The emergence of quantum consciousness stems from dynamic flows of hydrogen ions in brain liquid. This liquid contains vast areas of the fourth phase of water with hexagonal packing of its molecules, the so-called exclusion zone (EZ) of water. The hydrogen ion motion on such hexagonal lattices shows as the hopping of the ions forward and the holes (vacant places) backward, caused by the Grotthuss mechanism. By supporting this motion using external infrasound sources, one may achieve the appearance of the superfluid state of the EZ water. Flows of the hydrogen ions are described by the modified Navier-Stokes equation. It, along with the continuity equation, yields the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, which describes the quantum effects of these flows, such as the tunneling at long distances or the interference on gap junctions.
