Connecting the inner world and the outer world, physicist Federico Faggin reveals his work studying the physics of spirituality. Federico Faggin is an Italian-American physicist, engineer, inventor and entrepreneur. He is best known for designing the first commercial microprocessor, the Intel 4004. He led the 4004 project and the design group during the first five years of Intel's microprocessor effort. Federico Faggin is one of the greatest luminaries of high technology alive today; his work underlies the modern world's entire information technology. His new book, Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers and Human Nature, was just published in May of 2024. This episode of Mindrolling with Federico and Raghu includes these topics: -Federico's life growing up in Italy -Neuroscience and studying consciousness -How physical feelings come from electrical processes in the brain -Connecting spirituality and physics -Considering if a computer could be programmed for consciousness -Faggin's experience recognizing the inner love that comes out of us -How quantum physics proves the interconnection within the universe -Federico's perspective on freewill and determinism in our lives -Going beyond what science has done -The limited freedom we have while incarnated -Predicting our behavior and how our consciousness is watching all -Grace and the unpredictability of free will -The divine mystery and why it will never be resolved “I eventually ended up deciding that I was going to spend the rest of my life studying consciousness and trying to connect spirituality and physics. In other worlds, connect the other inner world of experience and meaning with the outer world of symbols and matter in space and time.” – Federico Faggin ================ Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers & Human Nature w/ Federico Faggin - Mindrolling Ep. 558 - https://youtu.be/eHRI5mrwAw8 Raghu Markus – Mindrolling – Ep. 558 – Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers and Human Nature with Federico Faggin - https://beherenownetwork.com/raghu-markus-mindrolling-ep-558-irreducible-consciousness-life-computers-and-human-nature-with-federico-faggin ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
