The Relationship Between Quantum Mechanics and Gravity
48:18 - 56:52 (08:33)
The application of quantum mechanics to gravitational theory involves a careful consideration of how gravity impacts the structure of quantum mechanics, leading some to advocate for modifications.

The Schrodinger equation, which describes how the state of a system evolves, leads to a paradoxical situation where a cat can be both dead and alive.
50:50 - 52:34 (01:43)
Summary
The Schrodinger equation, which describes how the state of a system evolves, leads to a paradoxical situation where a cat can be both dead and alive. Although deterministic, it can lead to ridiculous outcomes.

Stuart Hammarff and a group of scientists believe that general anesthetics affect microtubules in a way that is not just an ordinary chemical process, and there is evidence pointing in that direction.

Summary
Stuart Hammarff and a group of scientists believe that general anesthetics affect microtubules in a way that is not just an ordinary chemical process, and there is evidence pointing in that direction. They think more experiments should be done to explore this relationship further.
