YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOur conversation with "Quantum Doug" Matzke, Ph.D is a perfect followup to our most recent talk with Mark Bailey of Unknowable Minds. Quantum Doug's hypothesis is that space/time/matter/energy emerge from "bit-physics" which he calls "existons" and which he contends are the primitive unit of consciousness in the universe. Panda Carmen, not a math-intuitive, works hard to follow the quantum plot and connect it to human concepts of spirituality. Panda Julia, yes a math-intuitive, grooves on the existon vibe. But all of us can learn from an exciting, edgy, and often majestic conversation.
Doug mentions physicists Tom Campbell and Frederico Faggin
Here is a link to Doug's page devoted to existons
and to a page linking to his research.
And a link to Doug's book Deep Reality
