I bet he also can't tell us how far away the consciousness is located, where it is located, what is processing the consciousness, what powers signals from the body to this process, and by what mechanism it is transmitted.

Physicalists can't answer these questions either

Scientists can answer these questions because they know that consciousness is a product of the brain which does not act as a receiver.

Consciousness was never observed in a scientific experiment.

How would you recognise whether a human was consciousness or not?

Direct detection of subjective experience.

Direct detection of subjective experience.

How can it be subjective experience if you can detect it objectively?

If it is generated by brain then it should be detectable.
