The Importance of Consciousness

"I lean towards free will existing of course but anyway whatever maybe it doesn't maybe it does," he says. "Consciousness feels like this thing that shouldn't exist and i feel like this is perhaps the closest thing to a miracle that exists  that there is anything to experience the universe at all" 'There's almost no explanation that can ever possibly occur that answers this question, how does this bundle of nerves know that it's there' - Dr Stephen Hawking.
