Physicist Federico Faggin talks about his new theory which puts our inner experience and the desire to know ourselves at the centre of reality.
Federico Faggin is a physicist and entrepreneur who made his name – and his fortune – as the inventor of the world’s first microprocessor, the Intel 4004 chip, which is the device at the heart of all our computer technology. In his later life, he has turned his attention to the study of consciousness, and in 2011, with his wife, he founded the Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation which is dedicated to supporting research into its nature and origin. With Giacomo Mauro D’Ariano, he has now developed a new physical model of reality in which consciousness, not matter, is seen as the foundational principle. We have already reviewed his autobiography, Silicon, in the magazine (click here); in this interview, conducted by Richard Gault and Jane Clark via Zoom at his home in Silicon Valley, we had the chance to ask him further about his theory and its implications for our understanding of human life.
