And is there a mystery around that that we not only don't understand, can't understand?
And one of the theories, and I'll end with this, but it's a super out there theory.
It's called biocentrism.
There's a guy named Adam Lanza that you might be interested in talking to.
He's a brilliant guy.
He's one of the sort of pioneers of biocentrism.
And basically what he's saying is that, look, if consciousness determines reality at the quantum level and the universe ultimately is a quantum reality β
It's possible that consciousness is part of β that there's a subatomic particle associated with consciousness just like the Higgs boson is associated with gravity.
Like gravity exists because of the Higgs boson.
It's a subatomic particle that we can measure, right?
Maybe consciousness in the same way is part of the physical existence of the universe.
Without gravity, there is no universe.
There's no nothing, right?
It's essential to existence.
And maybe consciousness is essential to the existence of the universe in the singular form that it takes.
And it landed in this singular form with the arrival of consciousness.
Maybe it's all one and the same thing.
And that actually coincides quite nicely with Schrodinger, who was of the opinion that there was a universal consciousness.
There was a kind of colossus of consciousness that we are all a tiny part of.
