Mind-Blowing Science: Decoding Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory

Prepare to have your brain twisted and turnt as we dive deep into the wild, wonderful world of Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory—aka OR-OR theory!

Your co-hosts, Shayne and Jay, delve into the quantum mechanics of consciousness, illuminating how tiny particles can exist in multiple states and how our brains orchestrate this cosmic dance into a conscious experience.

They break down Penrose and Hameroff’s theory and even question if consciousness is confined to the human brain. Whether you're a science nerd or just curious about how your noggin works, this episode will keep you hooked and make you ponder life's big questions—like, does a falling tree still make a sound if no one's there to hear it?

Tune in for a mind-expanding journey filled with laughs, toasts, and a whole lot of brainy banter!
