The Possibility of New Physical Laws to Explain Life and Consciousness
2:00:55 - 2:07:13 (06:17)
The emergence of complex structures like life and consciousness in our universe may require an understanding of new physical laws beyond what we currently know. It is possible that there are more fundamental laws that cannot be connected to the older laws we know.

The definition of life may be difficult to define in the same way we distinguish between a liquid and gas, and there are arguments against the brain being a quantum computer.

Summary
The definition of life may be difficult to define in the same way we distinguish between a liquid and gas, and there are arguments against the brain being a quantum computer. The connection between consciousness and life, and how it relates to quantum computing, remains unknown.
