You Stop Existing Every Night—And Nobody Can Prove The Same Person Wakes Up | Roger Penrose

Tonight you will stop existing. Not pause. Not rest. Stop. The continuous stream of conscious experience—the unbroken thread of being you—will break completely. And in the morning, something will wake up with your memories, your face, your personality. Entirely convinced it is you. But how do you know it is you? Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sir Roger Penrose confronts one of philosophy's most unsettling questions: Does consciousness survive sleep? Does the same experiential thread continue—or does each morning begin a new consciousness that merely inherits the last one's memories? In this video: What actually happens during dreamless sleep (neuroscience: global workspace goes offline) The hard problem of consciousness—why physical continuity doesn't guarantee experiential continuity General anaesthesia: why anaesthesiologists call it "temporary death" Why the feeling of continuity proves nothing (a new consciousness would feel identical) Derek Parfit's personal identity: psychological continuity vs numerical identity The teleporter thought experiment—is a perfect copy you? Penrose's Orch-OR theory: consciousness as quantum process—what happens to quantum states during sleep? Why consciousness may be discrete, not continuous, even in waking life Parfit's radical conclusion: personal identity may not be what matters Why you trust sleep every night with no way to verify the result After 60 years working on consciousness, quantum mechanics, and the geometry of reality—this is the question Roger Penrose admits he cannot fully answer.
