With the increased knowledge of cosmology, neuroscience and
quantum mechanics in particular, some philosophical implications
baffle us in our attempts to understand aspects of life and the
universe. The intricacies of the laws of physics bestow upon us
consciousness, the method by which we wonder and possibly the
greatest mystery of all; the wonder of how the universe can
ponder itself to begin with. Neurological activity governed by
the laws of physics is what grants us our most precious trait:
consciousness. Material forged in stars via nuclear fusion
somehow acquired a method by which we can be aware of one self.
As life became increasingly intricate, more information was
required to be stored and processed in order to survive. Brains
became apparent in species as a tool to become aware of
surroundings and store information that would be useful in their
fight for survival. In the process of the evolution of larger
brains capable of storing more information came consciousness;
the pinnacle of awareness. Aft
