Prof. Carlo Rovelli a renowned Quantum physicist enters in dialogue with Buddhist scholar Geshe Tenzin Namdak on the connections between Buddhist philosophy, as exposed by the scholar scholar Arya Nagarjuna, and the discoveries of modern quantum physics.
They discuss consciousness's enigmatic nature, whether consciousness can be broken down into quanta, and the implications of viewing the mind and matter from scientific and philosophical perspectives. They delve into the concept of consciousness as a process rather than a static entity, drawing parallels with the nature of life itself as understood through modern science and deep philosophical inquiry.
This discussion invites us to reconsider the fundamental questions about the mind, brain, and their interconnectedness with the universe, suggesting that a comprehensive understanding of consciousness may require a synthesis of scientific insight and contemplative wisdom.
