This crosses my mind from time to time, what physical properties sustain conciousness? Our brains, which is where we suppose our conciousness originates, is made (most likely) from the same sub-atomic particles inanimate objects are made of. So is there something more to these inanimate objects? Does a rock has more potential then we are aware of? I don't know. Funny question to ask though.

> sub-atomic particles Mostly whole atoms (or ions) plus electrons and protons (although the latter could be thought of as the ion of a particular isotope of hydrogen). Being pedantic, we can include photons, too.
