Its not that am making anything up. Am just probing with a bit of unorthodox curiosity that might get in the "nerves" of some scientists Of course the subject is infancy delicate and provocative. It is in its infancy because experts hardly ever pick it up, because of its "hot-potato" character.
Just follow mine line and forgive the lack of professional "depth" The thing is, we start with the “Copenhagen interpretation” of the nature of subatomic particles as existing as "Wave Particle" So, as it were, all that exists, us included are made of "stuff" which are in a state of supper-positioning. The lack of "small things" making the "big things" we see, means that even if we "see things" i.e "observe" these things we observe are not made of "small things" Its basically an emptiness of Waves in Motion.
So, one has to wonder, given that these things include us, it also means that this "us" are mare an emptiness, made of Waves in Motion. I think its here you must consider the implication of this assertion, which has been made through scientific inquiry.
If all that exists are trillions and trillions of Quantum Systems existing in state of super positioning, a mare emptiness of Waves in Motion, what then, is this in us, which interprets this emptiness" giving it a sense of Reality? You cannot now say that Consciousness is unnecessary. If Reality is an emptiness, how come, we are making sense of it anyway? Its because we are conscious beings. How then did this consciousness arise our of what apparently is an emptiness? How could that which appears as "dead" give rise to "life"? Note, that by "dead" I mean that besides the live we observe, matter is dead. Its just Law, and Wave in Motion.
how then, could intelligent consciousness emanate from something so.......dead?
