What a great episode. This channel is truly a gem.
Me. kuhn, I hope You do not stop providing the human race, with information about life and the universe.
Blessings on to You.
Thanks
Better question is "who am I?"
The source of our thoughts is pure consciousness. Once we settle into that source, we are all set. No more questions to explore outside of our Self. Self manifests as everything.
@Al Garnier Self is not same as ego/mind. Self is the source of ego/mind/physical.
Thank you Robert for your high quality documentaries.
It’s very humbling to listen to smart people speak to the very nature of our existence. I so appreciate your internal struggles with attempting to make sense of all that confronts us. These are simply terrific videos. I suspect that what will happen to the us, human race was... inevitable. Think bigger. Start with consciousness.
🗣"even if [we’re] not getting closer", still we persist. Best wishes for persisting in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣.
Your work and chennal is great service for humanity 🙏
Dr Krause and Dr Tegmark are such a pleasure to listen to. Just brilliant.
I like truth! Truth should be fundemental for all of us.
I think one key thing missing from all these episodes is to keep in mind that when you ask a question, you also have to define what kind of answer you're willing to accept.
What if the meaning of life, the universe, and all that is actually "42"? We wouldn't be satisfied with such an answer, but it might be the actual final truth.
Thank you so much! Best episode of Closer to truth!
The curious nature is an innate and integral part of Humans. I have reached a state where humility has superceded the need to know all. I remain Humble therefore I cannot be humiliated. But I still ponder many questions..and this program helps me understand the WHY QUESTIONS.
You are a good soul Robert . Hope you find most of your quest one day
Consciousness is the ONLY thing; beyond any doubt for me!
And his journey's motto is: intrigued but not convinced.
Mr Lawrence Kuhn. Let’s see an updated episode that explores simulation theory. With all the recent scientific and technological discoveries I think this outlook on potential ‘reality’ is seriously thought provoking and worth a deeper dive.
Another GREAT episode‼️👊🏼
Consciousness is everything.
It’s so amazing just to think that if we as humans never came to be and the universe was still existing nothing could be observed so nothing would exist mine blowing. The cat in the box.
Here is were consciousness get its start...

WHY ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY:
Gravity/acceleration involves balanced inertia/inertial resistance, as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. This is consistent WITH F=ma AND E=mc2, as gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. So, inertia/inertial resistance is proportional to (or balanced with/as) gravitational force/energy; as this balances AND unifies ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy AND gravity; as this balances gravity AND inertia. In other words, GRAVITATIONAL force/energy is proportional to (or balanced with/as) inertia/inertial resistance; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy IS gravity. Accordingly, gravity/acceleration involves balanced inertia/inertial resistance; as gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. It is proven. Energy has/involves gravity, AND energy has/involves inertia/inertial resistance. "Mass"/energy involves balanced inertia/inertial resistance consistent with/as what is balanced ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL force/energy, as ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY.

Great episode among many!!!
Interesting questions and speculations. One must take care not to turn possibility into probability, and probability into actuality without justification.
This is such a wonderful series and I am so gratfeful for it...I wen to university to understand one thing..what is "science"....this episode touched on the question of the necessity of replication. I watch videos on quantum mechanics, math (Roger Penrose is a favorite) and other areas of science...but, then I watch and read such teachers of Neville Goddard, Joseph Murphy, Louise Hay, Carl Jung, Alan Watts and many other "new thoughters"....how does the concept "thought are things" and the power of imagination fit into your quest...Theologians, who you have on tend to lean toward "religion" rather than a study of a power beyond math...beyond time and space. I would like to see those thinkers included more in your interviews...In the meantime, thank you so much for your work and your producers for the excellent production!
While I certainly disagree with some points / perspectives here, I really enjoyed this episode. Though I am sometimes critical of Mr. Krauss, I also think that computers will someday achieve consciousness, because i'm a subscriber to the "the mind is what the brain does" perspective. I do find it more than a bit odd that Mr. Leslie, who is introduced as a thinker whose canvas of thought is larger than science, seems to limit himself to the just-one-universe-and-god-did-it perspective, itself a _smaller_ canvas than currently contemplated science. I also think the assertion that there are questions about cosmology which science cannot answer gives short shrift to science, because our understanding and resultant science continually improve. Theology doesn't interest me much, but I can appreciate some of his other perspectives, though, especially the validity of pursuing questions which go beyond what our current science can tell us, and how they can contribute to a more meaningful life. Regarding Mr. Tegmark's and Mr.Davies' thoughts, I admit that they are the ones which fascinate me the most, easily. The idea that reality bubbles up from math is just _so_ interesting to consider, though I have to entertain the premise that it might just be a very bright & shiny object that has captivated my individual, and quite limited, mind, so I can also appreciate the simulation-hypothesis and others related to Mr. Davies perspectives. Regarding the answers to these questions, i'm not getting any closer, either (though I definitely have my preferred avenues). They sure are _quite_ enjoyable to ponder, though :-)
Great presentation
Excellent video!
This is one of my favorite 'Closer To Truth' episodes
I love your introduction finishing with : "... I don't care, I do it anyway !". I have the same need as yours, this quest of finding the truth... it's a spiritual quest, that personally brings me to various dimensions of knowledge as different as : cosmology, quantum mechanics, philosophy, buddhism and ultimately panpsychism. I consider to still be also Christian BUT my personal faith is totally cleaned from dogmas and 90% of what has been told by the catholic church.
I believe in a loving conscious universe, a living ONE "organic" Reality animated "WITHIN" by Love, Love everywhere and in everything, like the midiclorians in Star Wars animate The Force...
If I have to choose between idealism and materialism, I would choose materidealism. To me, there is only one nature of Reality, not 2. Duality is a limitation of the human mind, nothing else.
DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR QUEST !
Be the Force with you ! And thank you for what you share with humanity...
Series worth watching ...it seems the more you go closer to truth more strange it becomes..
For me the whole concept of life is based on the immortality of what I call "true life" of which our universe and beyond is full of. Everything I can think of indicates that existence.
The universe as we can perceive, is just a part of a gigantic area, with much more objects and interferences that we can imagine, in a flow to somewhere. In all these great rush of a mudslide we might be lucky not to be on the front line, to be rolled over.
The events happening have their own influencing engines accordingly the flow, creating electromagnetic fields, gravitation, frictions.
The extent of all existence including our universe in our imagination, could only be possible with some kind of experience made by "true life" and transformed as a conscious sign that has been misunderstood for hundreds of years. Since we took ourselves as prime beings, we never thought we could be led by something else, although we are, through our external influenced informations.
Although there is an infinite number, we are tackling the first hundred.
Happy holidays
Truth is. Then questions arise out of confusion.
"It took a while to scramble out of the mud. Then, in a flash of galactic time, we've built magnificent cities and civilizations, flown to the moon and back, and landed robots on Mars. Are such feats the pinnacle of humanity, the very best that we can hope to achieve? Or can we imagine even more astonishing futures? Is it possible that the superpowers described in ancient legends, science fiction, and comic books are patiently waiting for us behind the scenes, poised for an evolutionary twitch to pull the trigger?" ~Dean Radin, Supernormal
Happy Christmas 🥰
After going through any of these video, I get more bewildered, trying to make sense out of this "business of life". One thing though; after my search, "trying to discern my existence", I go back to what I know is closer to the truth. That God is the "Supreme Intelligent Energy" there is. The universe or multiverse lives inside of God and distribute that energy to all entities accordingly.
Utterly fascinating. I think, regarding the issue that maths is behind and is somehow the creation is not something I beleive. I think that maths, like time, is simply the finding of measurements for something deeper and underlying.
The ultimate question:
Are we meant to know the truth.???
I'll see your ultimate question and ask you, "What is truth?"
(Not that I particularly want to be grouped with Pontius Pilate.)
Consciousness
Truth is reflection of you.
There's no truth. What you feel as a truth is everything but the truth. It's a egoic construction of what the truth is but the ego itself is not true. It's a manufactured product. There's perhaps a possibility of a truth out there, if we believe that we live with a veil but that is a spirituality matter and spirituality is unfathomable. Spirituality is not a truth. It's years of ramming into our minds what could be true and everything derives from the Bible and is the Bible something we can refer to as a truth? Perhaps It's just a myth of spirituality. The word truth is a peremptory word. It means "that is. Period". But during our journeys as humans it can't be "period". Our goal is to struggle a lot with the absurdity of the existence in itself because to be honest living this life is senseless. We try to build something in our lives that can be wiped out overnight. It's to me the only truth.
@@idaloup6721 by the word"truth",i meant the fact of reality ,the reason for it all.why is there anything at all?are we capable of understanding and figuring out the whole damn thing.as you look at other animals you see a limit to their knowledge.No matter what a dog does ,he will never understand the meaning of 2plus 2.do we as a specie have a limit like this?,or are we special?
You are going round in circles
There is just something = everything: Nothing is also something = a notion about nothing.
This notion have existence, but the notion is not realized out of the notion domain.
I have never seen Krauss as humble as he is in this video. Wow, the guy admits he does not know it all and that science does not have all the answers.
Agreed I think it might have a lot to do with his shame for being dismissed from his posts for ‘sexual misconduct’? I’m surprised to even see him appear here. I thought ‘they’ had him ‘cancelled’. In any case, he does seem to have learned to conduct himself publicly with some humility, finally.
I think you misunderstand what science is and how it works. Obviously no scientist believes science has all the answers. If they had, we wouldn't need hundreds of these episodes on getting "closer to truth".
@@Terpsichore1 As they say, we are all sinners.
@@Seekthetruth3000 Now ... ain”t THAT ‘Closer to Truth’, agreed.
I”m just grateful that he seems to have finally learned some humility in the way that he conducts himself publicly. Although extremely interested in learning from his expertise, I’d always found his obvious political bias boring and tedious, and his general attitude obnoxious. 🩰
@@Terpsichore1 Yes, I believe he is a radical leftist.
Clouds without rain!
Consciousness is the key
Great video.
Thank you for this addition to the series. This video is an intellectual tour de force exploring, at bird’s eye view, a range of “ultimate” topics.
I think Leslie and Davies are on the right track. There always had to be “something” - some ultimate thing or state.
It’s more likely than not, in my view, that all this “sound and fury” has a meaning or purpose.
So what makes life worth living? My take: The Good. Love, mercy, victory, beauty, triumph and more.
Expanding on Leslie’s “the need for good” causing the universe, my view is this. The universe “creates” the Good, thus justifying its own existence and providing its purpose.
Merry Christmas
Do different sized black holes form gravity singularities with various string configurations that can develop into universes with different constants?
good luck on your search
i agree we will not be able to answer big question in thousands of years.
Answer about Nature is the fundamental definitions.
Devolution if thought!
In some sense Robert Kuhn is the ideal philosopher, the ideal mindset of a theoretical scientist.
Nice to see every person in this show, even Krause who once thought he knew how everything came from nothing and allied with shallowness and anger of Dawkins et al., confessing the limits of our present knowledge and keeping away from arrogance of scientism and organized religions. One of the best shows of CTT. Thank you.
🤔 You refer to ‘shallowness and anger’, naming two of the greatest thinkers of the 21st century. I suggest you reflect on your arrogance in presuming to criticise them without offering anything of substance of your own. What qualifies you to assume a position superior to that of those whose views on fundamental issues differ from yours? Have you undertaken in depth research on anything other than pomposity standing upon ignorance? Really!
I always think I'm permeable and what it is to be me carries the information into the next time I'm am to arise I ask why 2020
Does mathematics fine tune quantum field through information processing and gravity strings?
So there are two of us! There's not a single day I wouldn't asking the same ultimate questions and I wouldn't looking for the answers. I love to do it. I don't want to believe, I want to know. We have so little time. I don't want to waste a second. I don't want to die without an answer.
I feel your pain 😉❤️‼️
Mental or physical pain?
“computer will become conscious”- from security’s perspective I tend to disagree due to the fact that computer is run on hardware, which is susceptible to vulnerabilities, so essentially the conscious computer can be compromised. In other words, the conscious computer is as good the input of information it receives.
@btw Buddhism is True then you 'll mise well say insects such as ants and bees can't be conscious because they operate like computers
the brain is hardware
Before universe begin with bang from small hot dense state, did it inflate from gravity singularity and was gravity singularity from a black hole that dissipated?
Please interview tom campbell.
I love Jung's statement that the soul is everywhere scholarly knowledge is not.
PS Math is not causal. It is the language of Being.
It's obscure statement, proclaim soul is everywhere, idle attempt get to the bottom of reality!!!
The quiet “idle” state of consciousness is where the opening of perception resides. Neuroscience studies of mystics demonstrate this regularly. As Jung described it’s the leap from faith to direct experience.
@@rudy8278 l give it to you jung was ahead of time but like his contemporaries he's outdated, albeit l awestruck the dynamics of Universe, yet have to detect spirituality and is a vague muddle concept, wishful thinking searching grandiosity of supervisor, anyone seeking a mysterious stranger he's no more than a mystic? Simplistic primitive ritualistic ceremonial looking for easy option, any being who'd like to be worshipped is narcisstic vain glorious capricious and self absorbed, N. D. E DEBUNKED by doctors after Ray of experiments.
Ah, old definitions of the Absolute ground of Being. Meanwhile, here is a quote from an article in “Nautilus” on March 12, 2020 by main stream physicists Sabine Hossenfelder and Tim Palmer: “We think it’s about time to revisit a long-forgotten solution [to the measurement problem], Superdeterminism, the idea that no two places in the universe are truly independent of each other.” Consciousness is pervasive in the energies of Being--in this radical connectedness described by superdeterminism, which, granted, is still a theory. In one's silence we participate in this connectedness. Tribal wisdom traditions even experiened this. So, rather than being quaint, they were ahead of the curve.
Good
Conscious computers will have to much fun with truth
I meant to say Mr. Kuhn
If a kid asked "why did God make us?" of our "Sunday school" teachers, we often heard that " God was lonely" and we were to keep him company. (Read Mark Twain about Heaven and singing hymns, etc.) Or physicists sometimes say that Nature abhors a vacuum. "It" seems to crave more of it.
I'm a human being possess human nature because of you, but statement is not valid for God cause he's bereft of counterpart.
What is the role of consciousness in universe?
"Mathematics - Matter - Consciousness"...sounds nice.
It is nice to think that sentient beings with consciousness are significant in any way. But if you consider how vast the Universe really is, that our planet, no, our whole galaxy is just a tiny speck among the billions of other galaxies and that homo sapiens contemplating all this only appeared in the last few seconds on the cosmic time scale, can we really hope to understand any of it, to figure out how come "there is anything instead of just absolutely nothing"?...
Consciousness is local phenomenan, if you're space traveler you've to adapt yourself completely a new kind variants and constants in order to survive gravity, ultraviolet, radio activity, amma rays, solar winds, weightlessness and uncharted waters, to overcome and off course your vigilant takes for a while to adjust the environment...
Does a quantum field extend infinitely throughout the multiverse?
If there is a multiverse, there would be a lot of scientific inquiry to pursue, including how to measure and obtain data of multiverse.
Stuff of reality: "World of Mathematics - World of Matter - World of Mind"...sounds platonic inspired and nice.
It is nice to think that sentient beings with consciousness (the world of mind) are significant in any way.
But if you consider how vast the Universe really is, that our planet, no, our whole Milky Way galaxy is just a tiny speck among the billions of other galaxies and that homo sapiens contemplating all this only appeared in the last few seconds on the cosmic time scale, can we really hope to understand any of it, to figure out "why is there something instead of just nothing"?...
this is like a modern debate between Plato and Democritus. on one hand we can materially do a lot more philosophically we are still debating the same subjects with the same theories.
Hi there just to make a point, complex things can be done whith no matematics, ex. people build complex boat just by eye, so matematics maybe its not so fundamental. All the best.
David David makes sense to me...
With the sound turned down, Arthur C. Clarke makes an appearance. 06:28
Kudos -- 🗽
I don't like that expression "Reality is a brute fact". Just because we can't explain something doesn't mean it has no meaning. The bottom line is that these are just concepts limited by our language and the capacity of our minds. I agree with the last speaker - everything needs to be explained as a whole. Science is great for building planes that fly but is useless in giving any meaningful explanation to the reality. Only through personal experience (which is the antithesis of scientific approach) can you get... Closer... To Truth.
❤️🙏😊
I think consciousness could be related to dark matter / Energy in the universe
That's is what Problacists believe - see Problacism.com
@@richardventus1875 scientific form of pantheism
@@domersgay28647 - yes - and the scientific evidence for it continues to increase.
Perhaps multiverse is composed of quantum field, in which case scientific study of quantum field will learn about universe.
There is no way to ask that questions. The best you can think is to disconnect from the space time and consciousness. Our mind is designed to process and interact with matter from the same origin.
How do mathematics and information relate to quantum field?
If anything, they probably depend on and have their origins in quantum fields.
The other question is how do math and info relate to consciousness?
The quantum wave function is purely mathematical. I think the more interesting question might be is how do observers and consciousness relate to math?
@@hckytwn3192 But how does math exist without consciousness? Like, can math exist without conscious observers? And what empirical evidence is there that consciousness can be derived from math?
@@hckytwn3192 go for it
@@Corteum I agree with you-math can’t exist without consciousness, however I was more asking the opposite: can math explain the observer, explain consciousness? I’m not sure it can. Matter of fact, can we do “science” without math? If no, then it’s a circular argument from the scientists, right? They’re effectively saying, “I believe math can explain the universe, but will only accept mathematical/scientific evidence to determine that.”
The answers are already present in the deep philosophy of Vedanta and UPANISHADIC truths of the Ancient Indian Sages...
The points of view presented by Robert in these series of videos are ALL partial , reflecting one aspect or the other of Vedantic Wisdom...
The point where Robert and the people he interviews get it wrong, is he talks to the "WRONG PEOPLE" and "WRONG RELIGION (a 2000 year old religion trying to explain 14 billion year old Universe)" and makes conclusions that are at best partial...
So, the 3 Ms presented here are all aspects of ONE ENTITY, the PARABRAHMAN, who is present All over the UNIVERSE, as BOTH TRANSCENDENT and IMMANENT reality..
And then it does not stop, once the Universe ends, as in, it dissipates back into that ParaBrahman, because the PULSE that made all abstractions/projections from Strings/ Quarks to Universe/MultiVerse possible is arrested by that very ParaBrahman.
Why would that entity create it in first place?
The guess here is KARMA, which drives that PULSE; WHAT drives KARMA? Well it's been going on forever...and there's ALWAYS enough KARMIC AGENTS with the residual karmic foot print to drive that original pulse...
But then how can one say, PARABRAHMAN is free of Karmic effects and hence TRANSCENDENT ?
The answer lies in three sub entities - VEDA (KNOWELDGE - God is not the author of these but only "breathes in and breathes out all of them into existence"), NATURE (a progenitor of Mass/Energy, Space/Time) and the Para Brahaman or GOD as PURE BLISS of into which the other two merge at the end of the UNIVERSAL drama.
How is the universe the way it is? How is the universe? It is existing, in time and space, in the form of matter where things are slowed down to where life can be concatenated. The most common elements are ESSENTIAL for life, some twenty of them and and equal amount of elements are beneficial. That is how the universe is. It is programmable and programmed inside of you allowing for your existence. It is the result of infinite wisdom, infinite understanding and infinite power.
What is humanity?
A chef has a science, so does an actor, plumber, lawyer, farmer. They all ask questions seeking answers. The ultimate question is this: what makes the questions of physics or chemistry or biology applicable to these other questions? Are they fundamentally compatible or is the gap between their perspectives an organizational reality that must be taken into account? In other words is there a principle of organization common to all perspectives, or is there a principle of organization that sorts al perspectives according to its rules: makes each perspective necessarily separate?
Can everything in linguistic understanding be reduced to math and vice versa? Or are their perspectives the result of something else, something, as yet,unintelligible?
Robert! How would you feel if you finally defined the terms in your question, got a reasonable answer, and had to end your show?
We live in a pre- determined, set Universe.
Nothing is the ultimate answer to everything.
Once you've accepted that nothing is bedrock.. its a relatively simple project to mentally construct a reality in concept.. of course we were just experiencing the bedrock in our own psyches.. not creating a new universe. The goal is to understand the flow of the dimensions and the interaction of dark matter and dark energy which sustains the quantum mechanical interaction which yields the effect of general relativity. :)
The universe collectively realized its own evolution.. from the big bang to today.. evolving and fine tuning the laws of physics as it evolves through time which produces the most novelty and enjoyment..
The answer is 0.. but love is the shield which is simpler than math itself.
Love is the binding energy which brings dark matter and dark energy together which makes matter and spacetime.
Consciousness too is the flow of the dark matter and dark energy space through our biological hardware.. ideas and feelings are the result of the fundamental spaces of dark matter and dark energy..
The Ultimate Question - Lord Kelvin was at least 120 years too early to announce "the End of Physics"
Before 1900, there were only very few unsolved puzzles, two of them were: particle-wave duality from Thomas Young and the ultraviolet catastrophe. Then Lord Kelvin formerly announced “the end of physics”. But after 1900, these unsolved puzzles increased almost 10 folds: some examples are quantum mechanics and its interpretations, what is behind Hilbert space, quantum gravity, supersymmetry, extra dimensions, branes, parallel universes, hologram, holographic principle, simulated hypothesis, anthropic principle, cosmological constant catastrophe, dark energy, dark matter, nature of spacetime - fundamental or emergent, nature of causation, freewill, and roles of consciousness.
The real ultimate question that truly pushes the boundary would be: "will all these unsolved puzzles be unified into one?"
The anwer is YES and this time round is truly "the end of physics" as all these unsolved puzzles will be unified into the Law of Consciosness - not law of physics. Consciousness is most fundamental and we are all living in a "simulation" through all accessing the same hologram where we each is a universe of multiverse of infinite universes. In this, the law of physics is only self simulated, just like in a game, where each of us generate our gravitons and photons and creating our images for experiences. Quantum mechanics is about co-creation of infinitely many beings and each particle is co-creation of these infinitely many beings. This will see the unification of "physics" into consciousness in string theory.
This is the Ultimate Question and Answer.
CONSCIOUSNESS AND PROGRAMMING
I have a different perspective regarding consciousness. What I have discovered is that basically we are PavlovIan creatures who have been programmed from the moment of conception. All of our life experiences form our reality and view of the world. That means we operate from that position which means our choices are not truly free but predetermined and based on the past. When I made this observation, I connected the dots and changed my life dramatically. Admittedly, this is not easy to do because it means “seeing” how the past determines the present choices. This is particularly true regarding relationship choices. People keep making the same mistakes over and over again because the program is in charge of the choosing. Fortunately, I broke the code and what a difference it has made. No one does anything unless it fills a need. Once the true need is revealed, you are then in a position to make a better choice. The quality of life is achieved by the choices that we make. Then we can focus on mathematics, physics and consciousness.
I like pavlova too. are you saying we are preprogrammed and our choices are not free, but you have managed to breal that programming and now you have free choice? that still doesn't explain consciousness in any way.
@@cosmikrelic4815 Yes. You cannot be fully conscious until you realize how programmed we really are. There are patterns that we follow thinking we have free choice. I did an interview four years ago where I explain how and why so many relationships fail because of the unconscious choices we make. It turned out that the interviewer has the very problem I was describing. I go into other codes that I broke, like misplaced anger, and even a death threat which runs you. Many people do dangerous things to try and conquer their fear of death based upon what they experienced as children. True freedom is when you make your own rightful choices instead of the programmed ones. Read some of the comments there where people got what I was talking about. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/-a-bmB9stCo/видео.html
@@TheDickeroo your observations on relationships may be right but none of this expains consciousness.
@@cosmikrelic4815 consciousness is having the ability to process information and self awareness, which allows one to question and to problem solve. All life forms contain some form of awareness or they wouldn’t survive. Consciousness and existence go hand in hand.
@@TheDickeroo Consciousness is not really about the ability to process information - mind does that already- - Computes already do that, too---- Consciousness, or meta-mind, is more about perceiving and experiencing information. It's that which experiences the information - the subject, as opposed to objects.
what are the Ultimate questions?????
and how many are there?????
The ultimate question: How can I live forever?
Merge with the machine! It's the only way.
Eternity is not just ahead of you , it's also behind ...
Do you really wish to be reborn
Math is the natural science of quantity and, i think the harmony might come from how few things there were before there was a multitude of things and the multitude had to grow out of only the first few and the laws of quantity. ... ? The first few would have to be eternally coherent because with no mass there would be no time. So; first eternal coherent mind (truth?) then matter defined... constrained by math. ?
Mathematics in multiverse and laws of physics in universe?
Yea and ima math magition 😂😂

2 things I know for sure is that God is real and I am rotten. And I need God as my guide through life. And he does, I know it to be true.
Do animals have 'qualia' (subjective consciousness) like humans?
Yes
You are misunderstanding & misquoting R Penrose 🙂
7 metaphysical questions.
1) How do we remove the heavy lead called ignorance (greed) from the springboard of truth (love)...so that the springboard rebounds to happiness and launches US to heaven (joy, beauty and harmony)?
2) How do we release the string of lies being pulled by ignorance (greed) ...so that the bow of truth returns to happiness and propels US to heaven (joy, beauty and harmony)?
3) How do we remove the current cornerstone called ignorance (greed) from life and replace it with the cornerstone of truth (love)?
4) How do we knock down the wall of lies saying that "life is business" (greed)...so that the truth that "life is art" (creating joy) floods the earth and washes away it's ignorance (hate)?
5) How do we fill a giant a**hole in space called ignorance (greed) with light (love)...so that it's darkness (misery, murder, mass shootings, suicides, war, etc.) goes away and it's heavy gravitational pull stops sucking the joy out of life? And stops life from stinking?
6) How do we make the hostile alien vampires (greed) who are blind...see the ignorance of transforming heaven (peace) into hell (war).
7) How do we make the evangelical counting corpses who are blind...see the ignorance of transforming this paradise planet lifeboat into a polluted pig pen?
if we would know everything.....we would lose purpose.
That's why we don't live forever!!
What if there were no maths or physics and you had no senses or even a body but you were conscious, what would happen next?
Is consciousness possible without senses , math and physics ? Can we have a sense of self if we have no way to differentiate anything ?
If I realise I have no body, and remain conscious, would freak me out.
Therefore god is NOT pure consciousness as is often stated, god must have a mind including memory to hold and process thoughts, for god often says 'I' and therefore has a sense of self.
What does it mean to pop out of existence ? Is there another NO WHERE?
