Description of  Putting Ourselves Back in the Equation Why Physicists Are Studying Human Consciousness and AI to Unravel Mysteries [Audiobook]

B0BVKYFVV2 M4B@64 kbps Author: George Musser Narrator: Alan Peterson A revelatory exploration of how a "theory of everything" depends upon our understanding of the human mind. The whole goal of physics is to explain what we observe. For centuries, physicists believed that observations yielded faithful representations of what is out there. But when they began to study the subatomic realm, they found that observation often interferes with what is being observed-that the act of seeing changes what we see. The same is true of cosmology: our view of the universe is inevitably distorted by observation bias. And so whether they're studying subatomic particles or galaxies, physicists must first explain consciousness-and for that they must turn to neuroscientists and philosophers of mind. Neuroscientists have painstakingly built up an understanding of the structure of the brain.
