Quantum Physics and Consciousness: Michio Kaku, Eugene Wigner’s Friend, and Erwin Schrödinger’s Cat

Here’s the question: Is the cat dead or alive?

According to quantum mechanics, the cat is neither dead nor alive but the sum of the two states. At that point, you say “That’s nonsense!”, “That’s preposterous!” How can you be both dead and alive simultaneously?
Michio Kaku

If Copenhagen is indeed quantum nonsense, then big-C Consciousness might just control everything–just like Wigner thought.

I–I in the widest meaning of the word–am the person, if any, who controls the ‘motion of the atoms’ according to the Laws of Nature.
Erwin Schrödinger
