Quantum collapse, consciousness and superluminal communication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The relation between quantum collapse, consciousness and superluminal communication is analyzed. As we know, quantum collapse, if exists, can result in the appearance of quantum nonlocality, and requires the existence of a pre- ferred Lorentz frame. This
