You then launch into an aimless ramble on the subject of 'consciousness' with strong overtones of Deepak Chopra...
I don't suppose you can actually describe what you understand by the term 'consciousness' and get the strong impression that you've gotten involved in some 'New-Age' group that has essentially bamboozled you.
Pretty much all I know about dark matter and dark energy, I've learned from watching Neil Degrasse Tyson documentaries. The Ted Talk I posted had a piece at the end where the speaker was talking about researching patterned microwaves (actually sound waves) were detected on earth, and were assessed to be related to dark matter creating a invisible web-like scaffolding throughout the universe that has shaped all matter. She explores how dark matter would effect the way that normal matter evolves over time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYH_nFwMXRM
I don't think I can explain my opinion on the term of "consciousness" any better than the way I did in my last post. Is there something in particular you do not understand?
I'm have not been bamboozled. I've been studying consciousness from every angle I possibly could for quite a many years. This is what I've gathered from my personal observations, experience and research. You can take it or leave it.
In all honesty, this thread was about trying to get you all to share with me about what in science sways your opinion. I want to know about your perspectives on consciousness and the nature of existence. If you're not totally convinced (as I've been assured over and over is a strawman assumption) please share with me, what are you thoughts on the science of consciousness, astrophysics, quantum physics, epigenetics? Do you find it as fascinating as I do? What does it make you think about the nature of reality?
I shared. Now it's your turn.
