“Consciousness” –Existing Beyond Matter?
Consciousness is considered by leading scientists as the central unsolved mystery of the 21st Century
Does consciousness exist separate from matter, or is it embodied in the body –a critical player in anything that has to do with mind? Consciousness is considered by leading scientists as the central unsolved mystery of the 21st Century: “I have a much easier time imagining how we understand the Big Bang than I have imagining how we can understand consciousness,” says Edward Witten, theoretical physicist at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey who has been compared to Isaac Newton and Einstein about the phenomena that has been described as assuming the role spacetime did before Einstein invented his theory of relativity.
