This is how I see it:
- Consciousness is out of the scope of physics. You have to leave the common "physics is everything" perspective to understand consciousness, however counterintuitive that is.
- Physics is just a tool to describe the patterns of our subjective experience / consciousness.
- The hard problem is, why does positioning atoms in a piece of matter (brain) trigger the perception of color or pain?
- Dualism and solipsism are approximately correct, depending on the specific definitions, which vary a lot.
- mruniverse 10y agoPhysics seeks to find out how things work. Questions might not be answerable but that doesn't put it out of the scope of physics. The hard problem you pose (positioning atoms... triggering perception of color or pain), what else is that but a physics problem?
