Part 2/8:
The quest to explain consciousness has been aptly described as "the hard problem," a term that encapsulates the struggle to articulate what consciousness is and how it arises from the physical processes within the brain. While numerous theories exist, they often fall short of providing a comprehensive understanding. Emerging ideas within quantum physics suggest that our measurement and observation—central components of quantum mechanics—are intrinsically linked to conscious perception, hinting at a significant interplay between mind and matter.
