Quantum Mechanics describes the soul?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the speculative theory that Quantum Entanglement may explain phenomena related to consciousness and the soul, particularly in the context of near-death experiences (NDEs) and out-of-body experiences (OBEs). One participant argues that there is no scientific evidence supporting the connection between quantum mechanics and consciousness, emphasizing that extensive studies have debunked the notion of a supernatural soul. The conversation highlights the importance of relying on peer-reviewed research rather than pseudo-scientific sources when exploring these topics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Entanglement principles
  • Familiarity with consciousness studies
  • Knowledge of Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs)
  • Ability to evaluate scientific literature and peer-reviewed studies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Quantum Entanglement and its implications in physics
  • Study the scientific literature on Near Death Experiences (NDEs)
  • Examine peer-reviewed articles on Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs)
  • Explore the relationship between consciousness and neuroscience
USEFUL FOR

Individuals interested in the intersection of quantum mechanics and consciousness, researchers in psychology and neuroscience, and anyone exploring the scientific basis of near-death experiences and out-of-body phenomena.

Recently I was doing some reading and came across a very interesting theory. Since Quantum Entanglement says that two different particles can communicate without any phyical "touching" between the two objects. And this was compared to how the right hemisphere and left hemisphere communicate without any kind of neurotransmitter communicating the two, in the same way quantum entanglement describes. And what I read was that as your close to dying this quantum entanglement begins to communicate with the particles outside of the brain. I do understand this is speculative but I also believe this is one of the best descriptions of what happens when we die, and this aids in explaining the out-of-body experiences people have reported having in comas and near death. And I am looking for an expert point of view on this and how this could/could not work? Please go into depth with this.
Thanks

I don't know where you have been reading this but it is total nonsense, there is nothing at all to substantiate the supernatural belief in "souls". No scientific study has ever shown such a thing and there is currently no supporting evidence for a role of quantum phenomenon in consciousness. Near Death Experiences and Out-of-body experiences have both been extensively studied, if you are interested I would advise reading through the wikis on them and using them as a start to find original studies.

I strongly advise that you stop reading whatever pseudo-scientific internet sources you have found and instead search for peer-reviewed study.
