What happens when one of the greatest minds in modern technology has a spiritual awakening that shatters everything he thought he knew about reality?

In this exclusive interview on Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Federico Faggin — legendary physicist-turned-inventor, creator of Silicon Gate Technology, father of the first commercial microprocessor at Intel, and early pioneer of AI — opens up like never before about the transformational experience that changed the entire direction of his life.

Faggin reveals the moment a beam of pure love, peace, and joy radiated through him, showing him that consciousness—not matter—is the true foundation of reality. This awakening didn’t just shift his worldview…it reshaped his life’s work, his understanding of physics, and his mission to bridge science and spirituality.

Federico Faggin breaks down:

- How his spiritual awakening rewired his life & work

- Why Consciousness & Free Will actually explain Quantum Physics (and not the other way around)

- The 3 levels of reality, and why our spiritual reality is inseparable from the material one

- Why humanity faces destructive consequences (like environmental collapse) when we’re out of alignment with true reality

- How gravity itself is “proof of love” at the deepest level

- How ego overidentification blinds us to the true nature of existence

- Why the boundary between science & spirituality has already dissolved

- How the next evolution of medicine will awaken a deeper understanding of oneness, consciousness, and free will

- Why your personal happiness is ultimately up to you and no one else

- His insights on the Afterlife, Collective Consciousness, and whether we’re living in a Simulation

PLUS...Federico shares a special sneak peek at his groundbreaking new book!

If you’ve ever wondered what consciousness really is, whether science can explain spirituality, or what happens after we die, this conversation will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about reality.
