This model bridges quantum mechanics and cognitive science, offering a novel perspective on consciousness and its interaction with the quantum world. Subatomical Coherence Model: Integrating Quantum and Cognitive Dynamics 1. Stochastic Dynamics: Psychological processes modeled by SDEs, incorporating deterministic and random influences. Fractional calculus captures memory effects. 2. Quantum-Classical Hybrid: Quantum Decision Theory (QDT) explains probabilistic decision-making. Decoherence transitions cognitive states from quantum to classical. 3. Amplification Mechanisms: Quantum coherence in neural networks and neurotransmitter release via quantum tunneling. 4. Macroscopic-Microscopic Gap: Small psychological changes can cascade into larger cognitive shifts, bridging quantum and macroscopic realms. 5. Philosophical Implications: Incorporates Penrose-Hameroff ORCH-OR and Bohm’s Implicate Order. Explores free will within a quantum framework. 6. Interaction Terms: Non-linear quantum-psychological interactions and quantum entropy linked to cognitive noise. 7. Experimental Considerations: Collaborative experiments with neuroscientists and real-time neurofeedback systems. 8. Broader Implications: Collective psychological states may influence global quantum events, like Earth’s magnetic field.

World hunger. World homelessness. End to warfare. End to pollution. Mankind living in harmony with the natural world and helping it thrive as a result. Natural Disasters ended. Negative consequences of climate change reversed. World Peace. Death eliminated. End to strife amongst congressional members of Congress here in the US. Ok, that last one I know I'm stretching it...

@@StarTalk Advanced Mathematical Formalism for Quantum-Cognitive Interaction 1. Non-linear Dynamics and Stochastic Processes 1.1 Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) The stochastic dynamics of psychological processes are represented by: d\psi_p = f(\psi_p, t) dt + g(\psi_p, t) dW_t : Deterministic dynamics governing psychological states. : Volatility function capturing stochasticity or cognitive fluctuations. : Wiener process, modeling random influences such as external stimuli or neural noise. The equation assumes Markovian processes but can be extended to non-Markovian dynamics (see 1.2). 1.2 Fractional Calculus and Non-Markovian Dynamics \frac{d^\alpha \psi_p}{dt^\alpha} = F(\psi_p) : Fractional order, representing memory effects inherent in psychological processes. : Function governing the evolution of the state over fractional timescales. Fractional derivatives are key to modeling systems with long-range correlations or feedback loops, such as the brain’s network dynamics. --- 2. Quantum-Classical Hybrid Framework 2.1 Quantum Decision Theory (QDT) P(\text{decision}|\text{mental state}) = \text{Tr}[\hat{ ho}^q \hat{P}] : Quantum state of the cognitive system, encoding superpositions of mental states. : Projectors onto possible decision outcomes. This framework accommodates probabilistic decision-making, with coherence and interference effects potentially influencing behavior. 2.2 Decoherence and Cognitive Noise The quantum-to-classical transition in cognition is hypothesized to occur through decoherence: \hat{ ho}^q(t) ightarrow \hat{ ho}^c(t) = \sum_i p_i \hat{P}_i Here, environmental and psychological noise drive the loss of coherence, resulting in classical outcomes. --- 3. Feasibility of Amplification Mechanisms 3.1 Quantum Coherence in Neural Networks Define a coherence index for brain processes: \text{Coherence Index} = \frac{\langle \psi | \psi angle}{\langle \psi | \hat{ ho}^q | \psi angle^2} : Coherent cognitive state. : Density matrix of the brain's quantum state. This index quantifies the interplay between neural coherence and quantum coherence. 3.2 Quantum Effects in Neurotransmitter Release Hypothesize that neurotransmitter release may involve quantum tunneling, offering testable predictions via experimental setups observing synaptic events under varying environmental conditions. --- 4. Addressing the Macroscopic-Microscopic Gap 4.1 Causality and Indirect Influence Using concepts from complex systems theory: Small psychological changes are modeled as perturbations in a network, potentially cascading into macroscopic biological or cognitive shifts. Feedback loops and emergent properties provide bridges between quantum-scale phenomena and macroscopic brain activity. --- 5. Philosophical Implications 5.1 Quantum Consciousness Theories Penrose-Hameroff ORCH-OR Incorporate objective reduction (OR) processes within microtubules to explore quantum contributions to consciousness. Bohm’s Implicate Order Align cognitive processes with Bohm's implicate-explicate framework, suggesting that consciousness and matter emerge from a unified, deeper order. 5.2 Free Will vs. Determinism A probabilistic framework under quantum mechanics allows for a nuanced definition of free will, rooted in statistical uncertainty and quantum coherence. --- 6. Refinement of Interaction Terms 6.1 Non-linear Quantum-Psychological Interaction \hat{H}_{\text{interaction}} = \hat{V}(\psi_p) \cdot \hat{H}^q + \hat{G}(\psi_p \times \psi_q) : Operator encoding psychological influence on quantum systems. : Non-linear coupling term between psychological and quantum states. 6.2 Quantum Entropy and Decoherence S_{\text{quantum}} = -k_B \text{Tr}[\hat{ ho}^q \ln \hat{ ho}^q] This entropy increases with psychological instability, suggesting a link between cognitive noise and decoherence rates. --- 7. Experimental Considerations 7.1 Collaborative Experiments Collaborate with neuroscientists to design experiments manipulating cognitive states while observing quantum systems (e.g., trapped ions). Measure coherence loss under varying psychological conditions. 7.2 Real-Time Neurofeedback Develop neurofeedback systems integrating quantum measurement data, allowing real-time correlations between psychological and quantum states. --- 8. Broader Implications 8.1 Collective Psychological States and Global Quantum Events Hypothesize that collective emotional states may influence macroscopic quantum phenomena (e.g., Earth's magnetic field), providing a testable link between psychology and global quantum systems.

We need more Neil deGrasse Tyson's in our science classes at all levels. Just listening and watching him, one can see just how much he loves to teach AND learn new things about the universe and how it relates to humankind. It was Carl Sagan that encouraged him, after Neil wrote him a letter as a young student. Sagan invited him to visit him at Cornell.

I speculate in the next hundred years we will discover extraterrestrial life even if it's just simple lifeforms like single celled lifeforms. In 500 years we will discover intelligent lifeforms. Just as long as we don't destroy ourselves with advances in technology.

[@RottenMuLoT]

Thank-you Neil 🙏 Next time, I would be very curious to understand more about the context and motivations behind people like him, to work as an astronomer (at that place and at that time) Was it because he was fascinated and curious or was it to prove a point to another fellow astronomer? I dunno but surely you have to be motivated by something to come up with this kind of discovery 😅

Dark matter and dark energy are on my mind. I don't think it will be 100 years before we figure them out though. Sooner. I believe they will have an immense impact on putting the pieces together.

[@shawns0762]

Relativistic dilation explains dark matter. Dilation is the phenomenon our high school teachers were talking about when they said "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light". This does not mean mass increases, it means mass becomes spread throughout spacetime relative to an outside observer. Time dilation is just one aspect of dilation. Even mass that exists at 75% light speed is partially dilated. It occurs wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass, this includes the centers of high mass stars and the majority of galaxy centers. Dilation is occurring in our own galactic center. This means that there is no valid XYZ coordinate we can attribute to it, you can't point your finger at something that is smeared through spacetime. In other words that mass is all around us. It's the "missing mass" needed to explain galaxy rotation curves. It doesn't occur in galaxies with low mass centers because they do not have enough mass to achieve relativistic velocities. It has recently been confirmed in 6 ultra diffuse galaxies including NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 to have normal rotation rates, in other words they have no dark matter/dilated mass.

Mr. Tyson. Your sense of confidence and safety gives me hope for the future of mankind.

I hope You're right, and we actually use our today knowledge and dicoveries to build something very special.

“I wanna know what questions I do not yet know to ask that will rise up from discoveries we have yet to make. I laid awake at night wondering what those questions are.” Beautiful and inspiring quote! I instead, stay awake pondering what would happen if Neil, Jung and Nietzsche got stuck together in a room with a lot of paper and ink. Let’s add Lovecraft just to spice it up! 😂

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Very good, Dr. Tyson. It seems to me the thing we don't, as humans, have a proper perspective on is our capacity to achieve our goals. We as living beings appear to be very successful at achieving our goals. I believe in the future we will look back at how we exist now and say that was a time when people only lived for a finite time. It seems to me that the ultimate goal that living beings have been seeking is to live forever. I believe that with our propensity to achieve what we seek to achieve , we will get there. Humans, or whatever we evolve into, will look back and say that was a time when people only lived for a limited time. I believe we are that good at achieving our goals. It does give me goose bumps to think of how much our perspective of the reality we exist in changed in the 1920s.

[@kalkat02]

Hi Neil

[@artex98]

I argue that we yet would have computers even without understanding (!) quantum physics. It is like in the past where people exploited gravity and thermodynamics before even the equations were found. So they could have discovered effects that can be used to build computers without understanding the physics of these effects.

[@56jklove]

IDK about that, yeah people made inventions like the wheel and fire back in the ancient days, when there was little to no science. Yet nothing really changed in 1700 years. The only thing that changed was culture and style. We didn't get any modern technology, until science started to be taken seriously and evolve.

[@kushmush8714]

It’s kinda hard to argue that without understanding why or how computers depend on quantum physics (which is something you obviously don’t). It’s weird to make a statement like that when you probably have no idea how a transistor/semiconductor works, for instance. So to simplify it for you: Without quantum theory no solid state physics and without solid state physics no semiconductors, so no computers (to be more accurate: no small but very fast computers, you could still build huge slow [mechanical or other] computers).

[@alexgoslar4057]

How do we know what eludes us? The only way to advance knowledge is by acquiring information and correlating them with the cognizance available to us. This is a one-direction process deriving from a continuing evolution. However, the notable exponential expansion in the universe is separating and diversifying all elements. While striving to get a better understanding of the multiverse-universe we need to accept that there might be other evolutionary systems that elude us.

[@AnthonyJasi]

I swear, Neil absolutely deserves to go to space. Out of all the people who’ve taken these commercial flights, he’s the one most deserving of the experience. That said, I know his ego is big-he’d never ask for a favor, and let’s be honest, he probably doesn’t even consider orbital space "real" space anyway.

[@TheGreyson_GH]

Niel you are an educated and I love you so much for it.

[@JeffreyFlory]

Coincidental that today when Neil deGrasse Tyson posts about how research of the quantum realm was thought to be insignificant back in the day and then later became the entirety of our advancement and industry, while the KZbin PBS series "Be Smart" posted a similar message in their episode today "Why Useless Knowledge Can Be So Useful". Its great when different programs independently have similar messages that can piggy back on each other.

[@cosmic6616]

Given any rate of improvement my mind can’t fathom what the world will be like in 2100

[@user-ellinikaphilosophy]

Where Carl Sagan left us, Neil takes us to the future, and in a manner that make us Think!

[@naikjoy]

Oh yes at times I forget that the development of transistors, which are the building blocks of classical computers, is deeply rooted in quantum physics. Quantum mechanics explains the behavior of electrons in semiconductors, enabling the creation of devices like diodes and transistors. Understanding phenomena such as tunneling and band gaps in materials was crucial for designing efficient semiconductors.

[@Placebo6]

Hi Neil I'm an avid watcher of the show if I'm not mistaken in school I was thought that the greatest invention was penicillin or discovery, but that was 30 years ago so maybe now in retrospective computers made a bigger impact

Dear Neil deGrasse Tyson and/or Chuck Nice I was working on an equation for squares of numbers. I thought that it could be used in equations like gravity where you would have to find squares of large numbers but would that really be useful? Or would it just be a good or neccecary equation? Of course, thats only for people like me who like to do math by hand rather than calculators. Also if there is already a formula for this please don't make fun of me I'm only 14 years.
