The idea of a quantum entanglement is you have two particles that know about each other's existence from separated by a distance. And then something can happen in one where the other one responds instantaneously to it, because they're entangled and instant. So if consciousness goes beyond just a local spot in the brain, and it really surfs quantum phenomenon, then maybe quantum Entanglement really matters. That's just a frontier.
Can we bring people back from the dead? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice discuss restoring dead cells, the nature of consciousness, Frankenstein's monster, zombies, and more with neuroscientist, David Andrijevic and consciousness expert, George Mashour.
