Dr. Stuart Hameroff: Consciousness is More than Computation!
13 years ago, I walked into Dr. Stuart Hameroff’s operating room with a camera, a microphone, and a single stubborn question:
Is consciousness computation?
Hameroff, an anesthesiologist and professor at the University of Arizona, and co-author with Sir Roger Penrose of the Orch OR theory, said no.
Emphatically. Unfashionably. Against the entire weight of mainstream neuroscience and Silicon Valley orthodoxy.
At the GF2045 conference, where I first met him, Ray Kurzweil went out of his way to declare Orch OR “totally wrong.” Others called it speculative. Untestable. Unscientific.
Today, in the age of large language models, that argument is no longer a niche dispute among philosophers and physicists. It is the decisive question of our century.

Von Neumann probes: Where are they all?
In the 1960s the Hungarian-born American mathematician John von Neumann wrote about machines that could make exact copies of themselves. He envisaged a kind of robot equipped with a computer brain that could be programmed to reproduce itself from raw materials taken from its surroundings. It wasn’t long before some people suggested that von Neumann machines, in the form of robot spacecraft, would be a great way for us to explore the Galaxy.

Gravitational wave detectors can now ‘autotune’ signals to harmonize the heavens
Gravitational wave researchers working on the world’s most sensitive scientific instruments have found a way to tune their detectors using a process akin to the pitch-correction used in music production.
Scientists at the international LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA (LVK) gravitational wave observatory collaboration have employed the technique, which they call astrophysical calibration, to use gravitational-wave signals to measure the response of their incredibly sensitive instruments.
It enables them to ensure that they can clearly “hear” the sounds of colossal cosmic events like the collision of black holes, even when one gravitational wave detector is slightly out of tune. This is crucial to accurately interpret the signals and find their source location.

It may be that for every star in the universe there are billions of microscopic black holes streaming through the solar system, the planet, even our bodies every second. Sounds horrible — but hey, at least we’d have explained dark matter.
