What is the evidence that Conciousness is one and the same as energy?
In other words his starts with a complicated premise that hasn’t been proven.
What does that mean? Does he or she mean that matter is a produce of “concious-energy”? Why is it concious?
It seems to me like going from the fire in to a blazing inferno. If conciousness can’t be understood by postulating a physical mechanism, then why in the hell does one think that breaking conciousness down to pure energy is going to solve the problem?
Everything might start of from the Unified Field, but that does not explain conciousness. It just means that physical reality can be reduced to a vibrating string. It doesn’t explain why it exists or why the vibration of a string ought to create anything meaningful, or why energy or a cluster of atoms should have a point of veiw. Its just another link in the process.You cannot understand conciouness just by positing an arrangement of physical objects in space and time. Conciousness might arise as a result of a “pattern” in space and time, but the pattern itself cannot explain conciouness or describe to us what it actually is and why it is; we only know the physical process or pattern to which we see these things occur.
Physics, as in physical reality, is merely a medium by which qualities arise pending the achiement of a specific pattern in time. The qualities are infered by the patterns. But some qualities, such as conciousness and ideas, have no physical characteristics or dimensions. Although you can infere the existence of things by a pattern, you cannot actually see conciousness or “ideas” by pointing to a pattern; the physical pattern is significatly and evidently different to the nature of an idea. The only reason we know it exists, is because we think. The only reason i believe that you think like i do, is because of our intelectual interaction; otherwise conciouness cannot be measured empiracly.
Well a bunch of things point out to that, this is not something that has been proven it is jsut a logical approach, and it makes a lot of sense if one learns about all these stuff in depht.
There has been predicted that there are 7 real and unseen dimenssions that really exist, thanks to string theory. This dimenssions are not physical at all. However they totaly influenciate our reality. Our reality is derivated and it exist thanks to what happens in those unseen dimenssions.
Scientists believe that these hiden dimenssions are extremly small.
This is a news about it:
sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080310151949.htm
Now, string theory claims that everything that exist mass, forces etc are diferent types of vibrations.
Really if everything is a diferent kind of vibration there are a lot of chances that vibrations would also exist in those unseen dimenssions as well.
Actualy there are a lot of chances of that being plausible. Since there are 7 further dimenssions that exist but that are not physical.
This entials that there might be also fundamental vibrations or waves that might exist at that extremly small scale. These waves would have to be extremly powerful. literaly so powerful that we can not start to picture them.
Our thoughts and memories are electromagnetic waves in space time. If you think about it is likely that consciosuness might also be a sort of wave. Since many sicentists think that this dainty electromagnetic waves in our brain wouldnt be able to account for conciousness.
This approach varys a lot, and many scientists have diferent theories about how could waves in different dimenssions might be related to how consciousness works.
How could these hypotetical vibrations exist in another dimenssions, outside space and outside this phsyical reality?
There is something call the plank scale of lenght, this is the smallest amout of space that could exist.
it is 10-99 cubic centimeters,
that is one cubic centimeter minus 99 ceros, that is the smallest scale of space that could exist.
If threre are things smaller than that they wouldnt exist in space any more, they wouldnt be physical.
This is where scientists believe that the 7 further dimenssiosn predicted by string theory might be.
I mean we are not talking about atoms nor about anything that huge, we are talking about a scale in which time and space cease to exist. and this 7 unseen dimenssions are real and not physical. Their effect might affect the physical reality as well.
If you take in account taht eveyrthing is made of waves then it is not hard to hypotetize that the waves that might exist in those dimensions could account for many macroscopic phenomenons.
So how does we develop conciousness?
We still dont know but there are many logical approaches to understand how do we developed consciousnes.
I personately like the approach and the theory of Roger Penrose, it is a very nice explanation about why complex organism like human being can develop it more than other organisms. Furthermore on this aproach a sort of wave or vibration in fundamental spacetime is needed in order to account for consciousness.

All this might really seem like extremly rare, but if you really live all the time thinking about things like, quantum entanglement, the plank scale of lenght, about how things might work on that scale, and if you realize that they influenciate so much our macroscopic scale, then it would make a lot of sense.
About consciousnes being the result of a pattern in the brain, I thinks it is plausbile but it is not likely, neurologists are totaly unable to understand anything about consciousness. So they have no choice, the only macroscopic explanation for it is that it must be the result of a pattern in the brain however most of scientist are not conformist with this, becuase it cant explain anything about consciouness.
Now with quantum mechanics and string theory there are many other good alternative to learn more about consciousness.
