Ubiquitous Physics
Understanding human consciousness is a mysterious problem for many, many centuries and the working of the human brain has always been a puzzling issue…
For example, the participation of the conscious systems in the dynamics of nature is triggered by sensing, perceiving, and processing the information from their surroundings.
This is primarily related to their ability to function as “experiencing” Physical systems — one of the most challenging aspects of the problem of understanding human consciousness. It is the mind-matter problem, it is the “hard problem of consciousness” as pointed out by David Chalmers. How does and where does the subjective experience arise from the Physical brain material?
But although this is an extremely challenging field of research, the contributions of many physicists including Eugene Wigner, David Bohm, Sir Roger Penrose, Henry Stapp suggest an avoidable role of human consciousness in quantum Physics.
Therefore, a more complete “Physics” account of the entire chain of the causally connected events — such as those discussed in our example — will require the development of a scientific model of nature that has room for the inclusion of the conscious systems into the whole dynamics of nature.
