But today, science is inching closer to understanding what ancient mystics have spoken of for millennia — the mystery of consciousness. What is it that makes us aware, gives us emotion, and connects us to something beyond the physical? Science Steps into the Soul’s Territory Modern neuroscience and quantum physics have started exploring what many once called the “spiritual realm.” Researchers like Dr. Stuart Hameroff, an anesthesiologist at the University of Arizona, and Sir Roger Penrose, a Nobel Prize–winning physicist, proposed a theory called Orch-OR (Orchestrated Objective Reduction) — suggesting that consciousness might originate from quantum processes inside our brain’s microtubules. “Consciousness isn’t just computation; it’s a fundamental property of the universe,” Dr. Hameroff explained in an interview with Scientific American. ...
