Consciousness Is A State Of Matter, Like a Solid, A Liquid Or A Gas
- brownbat 12y agoReally? At what temperature and pressure does consciousness change state? What is its density? What are consciousness's component particles? Does it fill a container, or have a fixed volume? What's the index of refraction of consciousness? How do we transition elements like copper or iron into consciousness, or is it only reachable by certain particles like bosons? I'm curious about the answers, because it sounds like none of those questions actually make any sense, but they would have to be answerable of any proposed new phase of matter. You can't just call something a state of matter without understanding what that actually means. "...physicists have been reluctant to discuss consciousness, considering it a topic for quacks and charlatans." Maybe they were on to something.
