Still there isn't any place within the laws of physics that can even begin to account for mental phenomena like qualia. The claim that someday "science" will explain it strains the definition of science beyond how we currently define it. So far we have four fundamental forces and numerous constants. None of these require, predict, or account for the feeling of feeling or consciousness. My position is that we must use all the tools of inquiry to expand our understanding of the total reality, a reality that is both objective and subjective.
You're absolutely certain that this is the case, and not just something you wish to be the case Chad? That nothing we know can account for consciousness?
(guess I'll have to make the call and shut down an entire field of study.....which is a shame, they've done so well accounting for what apparently cannot be accounted for)
