Donald Hoffman, theorizes we're in a simulation and has math backing it, but that's not the point I'm trying to make... He mentions a mathematical concept that the more theorems you solve, the more there are. As in - you never really grasp the end of math. In his sim theory, we're perceiving life in a VR, there's the ego, the many receptors like visual that detect colors, etc and understanding everything we take in, each of those is a "unit"... the gist of what I'm getting at, the physics we perceive are natural ONLY to our sim, or our VR headset, outside it could be totally different, but MATH is constant in all the universe, something that doesn't change, but that we're also always going to have new discoveries for. Consciousness could be the same, once we discover how to take the VR headset off (without death), we then discover a new reality, with new physics, etc... and a new VR headset to take off, maybe ad infinitum... It's like how there's the big bang, many think that there was nothing now there's something, when in reality there was always something just a much more compact something... miles across, a few light years? who knows how big, but it began expanding super fast for unknown reasons... It wasn't just nothingness, or one particle that exploded into everything else... I think the closest we'll ever get is finding ways to create consciousness inside simulations of our own, unfortunately that itself will prove (99%) that we're likely not base reality.
