Most mainstream
science will tell you that Consciousness is a by-product of the physical brain and
that chemical activity in the brain forms conscious awareness.
But chemical
reactions are based on physical interaction, whenever the bonds between the
atoms form or break there is an exchange of photon energy so all branches of
chemistry stem from physics.
In physics, the
photon represents the particle aspect of light and is the carrier for
electromagnetic fields.
The wave particle duality
of light and matter in the form of electrons could form an emergent physical
structure for conscious awareness to arise.
We can have
electromagnetic waves with new photons coming into existence when the waves
interact with electrons of atoms, forming a probabilistic uncertain future.
Light photon ∆E=hf
energy is continuously transforming potential energy into the kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy of matter, in the form of
electrons.
Kinetic energy is the
energy of what is actually ‘happening’.
This emergent electromagnetic
activity would be fundamental to how the brain produces consciousness in a
similar way to how electromagnetic waves are fundamental to how a radio produces
music.
The fact that light
has momentum and momentum is frame dependent could give us a physical reason
why conscious awareness is always in the centre of its own reference fame, in
‘the moment of now’ being able to look back in time in all directions at the
beauty of the stars.
In this theory, conscious awareness is the
most advanced part of a universal process and is an integral part of the
dynamic structure of the Universe.
