00:00When scientists gave rats anesthesia, they discovered something strange.
00:04Most of the rats passed out pretty quickly, but some of the rats were given a stabilizing
00:09drug that actually stabilized a microscopic structure in their brains called microtubules.
00:16And they stayed awake a little bit longer.
00:18Now scientists think this is evidence that microtubules are the structures in your brain
00:24that give rise to consciousness.
00:25And because the theory goes that they work on the quantum realm, so if they're doing
00:33quantum operations, it means they could be in multiple states at the same time.
00:39Now this gives rise to a really wild idea.
00:43Could consciousness be connected all across the universe in the quantum realm?
