Perhaps particles and quantum entanglement hold the key consciousness and the meaning of life.
TLDR:
The article explores the intriguing hypothesis that consciousness could emerge from the complex interactions of subatomic particles, challenging traditional views that it requires specific structures or processes. Drawing on quantum mechanics and neuroscience, it suggests that consciousness may not be solely a product of the brain but could arise from the fundamental nature of reality itself. The theory proposes that certain arrangements of particles could give rise to subjective experiences, potentially explaining consciousness without the need for mysterious or supernatural elements. However, it acknowledges the speculative nature of these ideas, calling for further research to explore this fascinating possibility.
