Futura-Sciences: In 1999 you wrote an article, with supporting calculations, you put serious doubt on the hypothesis put forward by Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff on the role of quantum coherence in the functioning of the brain and especially human the emergence of consciousness. In recent years, however, it seems that we are beginning to find evidence of the existence of coherent quantum states in biology, for example with photosynthesis . This tends to give more weight to as advanced by other researchers ideas as Paul Davies who wonder if the development would not have found a way to still use quantum coherence in biology.
Do you still think, disagree with Penrose and Hameroff, that quantum mechanics is not directly involved in the development of consciousness?

Max Tegmark: I think that quantum phenomena can actually play a role in biology. It would of course be wonderful to say that the brain is a kind of quantum computer but I still think this is not the case. In our laboratories, we must really extreme conditions, cooled to very low temperatures and high vacuum systems, in order to make quantum calculations and prevent environmental disturbances destroy the quantum coherence necessary to carry out . Conditions in our brain does not really look like that. Our neurons are too hot. It seems that some people are still convinced that there is a link between quantum mechanics and consciousness only because they also seem to us mysterious.
