Top Physicist: “Reality Is Not Physical”

it took me 30 years to figure out i can explain what physicists in a 100 years have not understood nobody can understand why quantum computers work because their actual operation cannot occur in spacetime there is a deeper reality where the feelings and the fields exist the meaning of information exist and from that world you have this world that is a classical world where you can get classical information and we think that the only world that exist is this world but this world we have constructed with our bodies what you're about to hear might completely rewire

how you see yourself your body your mind even your place in the universe federico Fin isn't just any scientist he's the man who invented the microprocessor see in every computer each switch a bit is either on or off that's it zero or one but your body every single one of your 50 trillion cells contains the entire blueprint of who you are every cell is a miniature reflection of the whole that's not mechanical that's holographic we as human beings we are fields which are part whole of one the totality of what exists same pattern repeated at

different scales and here's where it gets even more interesting he says each of these cells doesn't just hold information it's connected to the whole body through something deeper quantum fields this means your body isn't just a system of parts working in isolation it's a field of intelligence a constantly adapting self-aware network and this isn't speculation this is backed by the foundations of quantum physics now let's unpack that in classical physics we treat matter like isolated measurable stuff but quantum physics shattered that idea particles aren't objects they're states of a field you can't separate the wave

from the ocean likewise you can't separate a cell from the field it emerges from so when we ask "What are we really?" We're not bags of chemicals reacting predictably we are dynamic indeterminate systems woven into fields that respond to intention attention and maybe even consciousness and if that's true then the way we've modeled consciousness like it's a side effect of the brain chemistry isn't just incomplete it's fundamentally flawed stay with me because what comes next dives even deeper you're about to see why classical science has been missing the most important part of the picture for

over a century science has operated under a simple rule if you can't measure it it doesn't exist that's how we ended up reducing life to chemical reactions and neurons firing in the brain because that's what we could observe record and replicate but here's a problem that method powerful as it is can only describe half the picture the visible half the measurable half what it misses are the invisible connections the quantum fields that hold everything together and ironically quantum physics has been telling us this for decades particles which we once believed to be tiny building blocks

of matter turned out to be not particles at all they're not little marbles bouncing around they're states of a field temporary ripples in something much deeper they come and go they aren't permanent and they aren't separate this changes everything especially when it comes to understanding life because your body every cell in it is made of these quantum states and these states aren't isolated they're entangled which means the idea of you being a self-contained machine it was never true particles are not objects particles are states of a field they cannot be taken away from the fields

they're not separable from the fields so why has modern science clung so tightly to the machine model because it's predictable it's controllable and it gives the illusion of certainty in a classical world things follow rules they can be mapped built and manipulated and that's attractive not just to scientists but to industries built around control but in a quantum classical world things behave differently they adapt they self-organize they evolve in ways that can't always be predicted that's a lot harder to monetize and much harder to dominate and here's where it gets even deeper if the classical

model strips away meaning treating consciousness like a byproduct of brain chemistry then the quantum model does the opposite it puts consciousness at the foundation not an accident not an output but the starting point of reality itself and if that's true then everything from artificial intelligence to neuroscience has been built on a dangerously incomplete understanding of what it means to be alive if you've ever wondered why consciousness still remains one of the greatest mysteries in science it comes down to this we've been trying to explain it using tools that simply aren't built for the job in

the classical world the world of computers and equations information is static you can copy it move it and process it through algorithms that's what your phone does every second of the day a bit is either zero or one and those values can be duplicated perfectly but quantum information plays by completely different rules you can't copy it you can't even fully observe it without disturbing it the moment you try to measure a quantum bit what's called a cubit you collapse it the infinite possibilities it holds shrink down to just one zero or one based on probability

and once that collapse happens the original state is lost the maximum information that you can get from a quantum bit is a classical bit the quantum bit cannot be known the the note cloning theorem says that you cannot clone even a quantum bit quantum information cannot be reproduced classical information can be reproduced this means quantum information is private it cannot be separated from the system that holds it and here's the mindbending part this kind of information behaves more like experience than data what do you feel right now your inner world can't be downloaded client or

transferred it's real it exists but only within you and that leads to a radical idea maybe consciousness isn't produced by the brain maybe the brain is a translator a filter for a deeper quantum field that already contains awareness so when we try to explain consciousness using algorithms we hit a wall because algorithms can't produce meaning they can only simulate structure a machine might generate a sentence but it doesn't feel the meaning of that sentence even if AI gives you a good idea AI doesn't know that it is a good idea you recognize the good idea

of AI with your understanding with your comprehension in this view consciousness and free will aren't emergent they're foundational and everything else from biology to technology emerges from them this flips the scientific model upside down because if what we feel can't be measured copied or simulated then it may be quantum information tied to a field that science still barely understands there's a moment in quantum physics that no one can fully explain a moment where potential becomes actual it's called the collapse of the wave function and it's one of the most mysterious transitions in all of science

the collapse of the wave function is just a way of saying that we don't know at the quantum level particles don't exist in one place they exist in multiple states at once until we observe them then suddenly everything changes the field collapses and a single outcome appears but here's the catch physics can't explain how that collapse happens there's no formula no mechanism it's not a gradual process it's instantaneous unpredictable and completely outside the bounds of classical cause and effect and this is where it gets really strange what if that collapse doesn't happen to us but

through us what if observation itself the act of conscious awareness is what finalizes reality think about it a particle only chooses a state when it's observed but what does observed mean a camera a sensor or something with the capacity to experience this idea that consciousness plays a role in shaping reality isn't just philosophical speculation it's built into the math of quantum mechanics and it suggests something profound that you're not just witnessing the world you're participating in its creation quantum information is the representation of inner experience and the collapse of the wave function is the representation

of my of the free will this isn't about magical thinking it's about revisiting the assumptions we've made about how matter and mind interact and realizing that they were never truly separate to begin with because if quantum states collapse only when measured and measurement requires a reference point then consciousness may be that reference point not an observer in the background but an active agent embedded in the field itself in fact every act of awareness could be a moment of creation where infinite possibilities collapse into a single lived experience one that's only meaningful because you are the

one experiencing it this may be the clearest explanation yet for something science has danced around for decades why you can't fully describe reality without including the observer and if that's true then your attention your awareness isn't just a passive process it might be the very mechanism that turns potential into reality when you think about information what comes to mind a message a number a word on a screen but that kind of information what physics calls classical has no meaning on its own it can be copied moved analyzed but it doesn't feel like anything in classical

systems meaning is stripped away a zero is just a zero a one is just a one the system doesn't care what it means it just runs the program but consciousness doesn't work like that there's a kind of information we rarely talk about you don't just know it you feel it the warmth of sunlight the sound of your name the sense that something is beautiful or true these are not just inputs they are experiences and experiences cannot be reduced to numbers what we feel is only within the field that's how we know the meaning is within

us is within the field is not in the information this is where the idea of quantum information becomes essential because quantum information unlike classical bits cannot be copied or cloned it exists as a unique invisible state one that collapses the moment it's observed it's measured just like a personal experience it can be represented but never reproduced and this leads to a startling realization maybe feelings conscious experiences are themselves quantum phenomena maybe your inner world is not something generated by the brain but something expressed through it we've built entire civilizations around the idea that meaning comes

from the outside world but what if it's the opposite what if meaning is generated from the inside and everything else is just the map not the territory a theory of reality is not reality okay so what you feel only you field not body you field can actually know and you know inside and what you can say about what you feel is a small part of what you feel olivo's theorem one bit per quantum bit this flips the script on neuroscience philosophy even technology because if meaning can't be measured or shared in the traditional sense then

no machine no matter how powerful can replicate what it's like to be you this isn't just about consciousness it's about reality itself cuz when you realize that the universe doesn't contain meaning but that you're the source of it then suddenly you're not a passenger in this world you're a creator we like to think of the world as something out there separate from us something we can study manipulate even control but this idea rests on a deep assumption that the observer and the observed are two different things quantum physics says otherwise at its deepest level reality

is holistic it's not built from separate parts it's made of relationships fields and interactions you can't pull something out of context and still understand what it is because the moment you isolate it you destroy what made it meaningful in the first place there is no clear boundary between classical and quantum in other words we again want to put things into boxes that's the first mistake there are no separate boxes one is holistic the reality deeper reality is holistic means is not made of separable parts this isn't just theory it shows up everywhere in a quantum

system you can't fully describe a particle without including the system that observes it you can't separate the dancer from the dance the act of observation is part of the process but in classical science we've spent centuries trying to reduce everything to pieces to break nature down into smaller and smaller parts why because parts can be measured parts can be controlled but fields relationships those don't fit neatly into equations so we started simplifying we took the infinite and made it binary true or false right or wrong zero or one it made things easier to work with

but in doing so we began mistaking the map for the territory even true or false is a approximation of reality valid under certain conditions and that's a problem the world we've built the science the logic the technology is based on simplifications that break down the moment we go deep enough it's like trying to describe a symphony using only two notes at some point the system becomes incoherent not because it's wrong but because reality is more than logic it's dynamic it's alive and it includes you the paradox we've built machines that simulate intelligence but we still

don't understand the very intelligence that built them because we've been asking the wrong question not how does it work but what is it that knows and the deeper you go into that question the more the answers start pointing inward we've all wondered at some point what happens after death let's hear what Federico has to say about it imagine that you control a drone you know we are a body controls a drone that is in Afghanistan you know watching around and semiautonomous so I don't have to worry about I only have to express where I want

it to go so now the drone looks at that reality where it is sends me information and I get the I get the conscious experience of what the drone is seeing that conscious experience is not in my body is in my consciousness And based on that and based on my free will I'll tell the drone what to do the drone doesn't know anything you know you were so focused on that drone that you only saw what the drone was seeing because you were piloting it and you were concentrated then when the drone doesn't send you

on it you look around you say "Oh my god I there is another world here." You see that's that's the same thing the egg the ego when the body dies you know it doesn't look at the signals of the body anymore and it looks around oh I'm I'm Wow look at this if consciousness doesn't come from the body but only uses the body then death isn't the end it's just a disconnection like a drone going dark while the operator remains intact simply shifting awareness back to its original source and when that drone goes offline when

the body dies consciousness doesn't disappear it simply loses its local connection this isn't just speculation thousands of near-death experiences around the world describe the same thing separation from the body awareness of surroundings and a shift into something vaster more peaceful more real than anything physical people report seeing their own surgery from above they recount conversations that occurred while their brain showed no measurable activity and in some cases they meet people relatives friends they didn't even know had passed until they returned and learned the truth they are clinically dead they're not dead clearly if they are

resuscitated but but they are for all practical purposes dead okay and they have an experience in the hospital they see themselves in the operating table they later tell what's going on while the brain has no electrical signal the brain is not functioning so how can you be outside of the body looking down at your body in in the operating table that's cannot be explained right this challenges everything we thought we knew if the brain stops functioning and yet awareness persists then consciousness cannot be a product of the brain it must be something deeper something already

existing before the brain and continuing after it even more fascinating is the idea that the physical world we experience is filtered limited like a narrow frequency band tuned by the senses but outside that band a broader richer spectrum of reality may be constantly unfolding one we simply don't perceive through biological eyes bashin compares it to vision you see a tiny slice of light but the electromagnetic field holds infinitely more swap your eyes for a cell phone antenna and suddenly you'd see thousands of conversations happening all around you so what happens when the filter drops away

when the body is gone and consciousness is no longer tethered to a narrow stream of data maybe you don't go anywhere because maybe you were never really in the body to begin with there's a moment instant silent and complete when consciousness becomes aware of itself not just aware of the world around it or of a body moving through space but of its own existence that moment isn't gradual it doesn't build flashes and in that flash something extraordinary happens the creation of a self the moment that one knows itself he has to know completely itself because

it's not made of parts he cannot know a part of itself he has to know the totality of itself this is how individuality begins not as a separation but as a reflection consciousness looking at itself from one unique angle among infinite possible directions each angle creates a new heart hole a new expression of the same unified feel not a copy not a fragment but a hole seen from a different perspective it's like shining light through a crystal every being is unique but the source is the same in this model life isn't random it's not a

side effect of chemistry it's the result of awareness folding in on itself generating complexity through recognition that's why each conscious being feels like an eye because each one is a distinct viewpoint within the great hull and here's where it goes even deeper according to this view everything that exists comes from this process the universe doesn't just exist it knows it exists and because of that it creates new layers of experience new dimensions of expression not through programming not through design but through the sheer act of self-awareness this isn't metaphor it's a model that explains why

life can't be copied why consciousness can't be simulated and why true intelligence is always rooted in experience not in data so when we talk about identity we're not talking about a label or a role or a body we're talking about the field's way of knowing itself through you once you understand that awareness is not a byproduct of the brain but the source of everything those beliefs fall apart consciousness is beyond matter beyond this space and time is the tool for knowing in infinitely more powerful than any instrument that we have ever built in this view

intelligence isn't about calculating faster it's about knowing meaning feeling truth recognizing beauty things no algorithm can replicate no matter how advanced even if artificial intelligence generates a brilliant idea it doesn't know that it's brilliant it doesn't feel it it can't understand what it means only you can do that this is the line no machine will ever cross the ability to know what it is like to be that's why self-awareness matters it's not just a spiritual luxury it's a survival mechanism because when you truly understand who you are when you experience yourself as part of a

larger hole you stop competing you start cooperating not because someone told you to but because it's the only thing that makes sense and that might be the most important shift of all because we live in a world driven by fragmentation divided by belief identity and fear but those divisions aren't real they're the result of forgetting what we are we're not machines we're not separate we are fields of consciousness each one a unique way the universe sees itself and if enough of us remember that something changes not just in theory but in how we treat each

other in how we build in how we live because the future doesn't belong to the fastest system it belongs to the deepest awareness this is for today's video if you made it this far thank you i hope this left you with new questions new perspectives and maybe even a deeper sense of yourself share this video with someone who's ready to hear it someone who's been asking the same questions we all have but never quite found the language for them if you don't want to miss what's coming next make sure to subscribe and hit the bell
