I make my living
as an anesthesiologist...
1:41:03
and every day as I put
my patients to sleep...
1:41:05
I kind of wonder where they go and why
they're there in the first place.
1:41:09
That's one of the reasons
that attracted me...
1:41:11
to anesthesia and
the study of consciousness.
1:41:18
My name is Miceal Ledwith...
1:41:20
and for most of my life
I was a professor of theology.
1:41:28
I'm Dr. Daniel Monti.
I'm a physician...
1:41:31
with specialty training in
psychiatry and human behavior.
1:41:34
I'm on the full-time faculty at
theJefferson Medical College.
1:41:39
I actually got very interested
in studying...
1:41:41
this whole topic of the brain
and spirituality...
1:41:44
because it had to do with the questions
I was asking since I was a child...
1:41:48
about reality and how we understood truth
and what was real.
1:41:52
As I grew up
and as I realized that...
1:41:54
while spirituality was,
in some senses...
1:41:57
a very important part
of trying to find those answers...
1:41:59
science also was
a very crucial part.
1:42:01
I was ultimately looking
for some way...
1:42:04
ofbringing those
two forces together.
1:42:11
Well, my name is Candace Pert...
1:42:13
and I'm a professor at Georgetown
in the medical school.
1:42:20
Here we are actually filming
great thinkers.
1:42:23
Everyone in this room
is a great thinker...
1:42:25
now that we got 'em thinking.
1:42:28
That's always a trick,
isn't it?
1:42:33
I should make it clear that
I'm a graduate student in physics.
1:42:36
I'm not a full-fledged
theoretical physicist yet.
1:42:40
Uh, but if fortune
smiles on me...
1:42:43
and I continue to work like a dog on
my problem sets and exams and whatnot...
1:42:48
eventually what I hope
to do with this is--
1:42:50
is to apply fundamental
quantum theory...
1:42:54
to quantum information
processing.
1:42:59
So I decided, well, if I gave up
being department chairman...
