No, no. I did not think you are saying that (that if physics doesn't explain something it doesn't exist). That's why I put in that last line.
But now I'm actually not so sure. You seem to not admit of a category of things that physics can't explain. There are things it does not currently explain, things it has not yet explained, things it has explained wrongly, and things it may never explain as an historical matter. But not things it can't explain ("can't" in the sense of "is incapable of").
Do I have you right on that?
- Jensson 5y agoIf physics can't explain it then humans can't explain it. That is my stance. If there is a separate world outside of this world etc, then that would get incorporated into physics. I don't see how any scientific explanation for consciousness wouldn't become a part of physics. Basically, physics describes all the rules of this world. Consciousness exists and is a part of the world, so it is a part of the rules of the world, so it is a part of physics.
