Understanding Consciousness
Understanding consciousness and intelligence is crucial in discovering and understanding the universe. There are fundamental questions about thought and emotion that go beyond atoms bumping into each other. There is something bigger that we might be missing, something that will be obvious in retrospect. It could be a giant consciousness, a soul, or something beyond atoms. Thoughts and emotions exist in dimensions beyond our understanding. The nature of consciousness, and why it exists, is a fascinating puzzle. It is possible that everything is conscious or nothing is conscious, and the former seems more enjoyable. While we are composed of atoms, and atoms of quarks and leptons, consciousness has been around since the beginning of the universe.
