Infinite Now, with Sean Crowley – Details, episodes & analysis

Does Consciousness Collapse the Wave?

Does the Wave Collapse at all?

Do Particles even exist?

These are not merely the concerns of a few fringe physicists; these are the questions that nature has forced upon us as we attempt to learn what both mind and matter are.

In this episode, we investigate four real and significant interpretations of quantum mechanics, thereby giving us a detailed look into, not only how theorists are grappling with the current dilemmas, but indeed, what all the fuss is about—and finally, what does it all say about consciousness?

So join me as I attempt to unpick the infinites of ‘what is’.

In this episode, we follow quantum mechanics beyond wave–particle duality and into the measurement problem: where does measurement begin, where does it end, and why does observation seem inseparable from reality itself? From Einstein and Bohr, Stuart Bell, and David Bohm, we uncover why every attempt to draw a clean boundary between system and apparatus, observer and observed, inevitably fails.

The question isn’t whether the wave collapses…It’s whether borders exist at all.

These chapters are part of a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and to see the unseen.

What is the nature of Self and change? In this mesmerising chapter, we discuss the self's own 'Ship of Theseus' and ask, Is Identity Physical? What ties matter to mind? Does the self die during teleportation & Can a self be uploaded? So join us for the final chapter of Act 1 as we journey through the realms where science and philosophy meet.

Dive into the mysterious world of quanta and explore the intriguing question: What does it mean to be "emergent"? Recent theories have even begun suggesting that space & time are themselves emergent. But if so, what are they emerging from? Is reality made of fundamental quanta, or are they merely aspects of some unbounded wholeness? And how does this shape our understanding of self? Is reality objective or subjective? Join us on a journey into the realm where science and philosophy meet.

What happens when two minds govern the same body? Do parasites dictate my identity? Can the mind be replicated, and how does a Self retain identity when it’s in this constant state of flux? In this chapter, we investigate a 21st-century view of the metaphysical self and ask whether it stands up against eternity's ever-shifting nature.

Act 1 - Chapter 11: The Shifting Self (Part 2)

In this episode, we explore psychedelic research, neurobiology, and meditation, examining their effects on the brain, all with the goal of further understanding the existential nature of self and mortality.

In this episode, we begin our exploration of the self, asking: Is there any physical basis to our idea of self? And how does the study of emergence inform us on this? What came first, life or the body, colour or the eye, chicken or the egg? When does life truly start?
