Zatar I don't know how far we can get in understanding consciousness (a la Roger Penrose) by using quantum mechanics, or anything. His attempts are described in "The Emperor's New Mind" and "Shadows of the Mind". I was lucky enough to attend 3 lectures by the Great Man a few years ago, but the consciousness explanation left me unconvinced. Understanding consciousness is a bit like trying to bite your own teeth as Alan Watts says in "The Book on the Taboo against Knowing Who You are". Incidentally my small son claims says he *can* bite his own teeth!
