Simulated presence of 8 different anesthetic gases abolished the 613 THz peak, whereas the presence of 2 different nonanesthetic gases did not affect the 613 THz peak, from which it was speculated that this 613 THz peak in microtubules could be related to consciousness and anesthetic action. [51]
The noosphere is the collective consciousness of humanity, the networks of thought and emotion in which all are immersed. [12] The development of science and technology causes an expansion of the human sphere of influence, allowing a person to be simultaneously present in every corner of the world.
