> testable predictions In 1970, an experiment was conducted where a monkey's head was implanted into another monkey's body. The monkey did gained consciousness but was not able to move it's new body( I can barely imagine the pain it must have been feeling). If the possibility that the center of consciousness is completely independent of the body, I will say that the even though another monkey's head has been transplanted it will still have the consciousness and recognition of current body. >Mysteriously never been observed Was Higgs boson ever observed before 2012? Was it's theory ever proposed before 1964? Were people criticizing the attempt to discover it as 'magic particles mysteriously never observed'? >Don't interact with matter Yes those 'magic particles' can interact with matter through the curtain of probability and chances. The neurons firing inside a brain and subsequent signals passing to adjacent neurons are probabilistic. To direct the way a certain group of neurons towards a certain activity one has to tweak those probabilities, which can be changed via influence of external fields. >Nice story That's not a story but philosophy :) Vedic philosophy knew about the concept of atoms which it called 'anu' given by Kanad and it stated group of atoms as 'paramanu', way before Dalton proposed it.
