Redefining Consciousness

Abstract

This Paper examined hot topics of Consciousness, emergence, supervenience, terrestrial planets, fine tuning of earth, the Goldilocks, and the concept of dualism, all of which physicists now consider worthy of scientific inquiry. Analysis of these topics led to many findings namely, how the earth acquired high level of fine tuning (from the Sun’s energy) while earth’s 3 terrestrial neighbors Mercury, Venus, and Mars, failed to achieve fine tuning as reason there is life on Earth, but there is no life on other 3 terrestrial planets. This Paper examined the Goldilocks and found earth’s central position in the Goldilocks as the main reason earth alone acquired favorable fine tuning for life to appear on earth. This Paper has traced the origin of Consciousness to the concept of emergence. This Paper found that Consciousness is an emergent property of a fine-tuned earth. Hence, Consciousness is not fundamental. This research has answered one of the most fundamental questions about Consciousness that; Consciousness is not monist but dual. Consciousness consists of 2 different and opposite parts namely, Cosmic Consciousness and Objective Consciousness. Objective consciousness is the type of consciousness derived from the brain known to physicists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and everyone else. This Paper found that dualism and dual Consciousness underpins every living organism in nature through the dual principles of Opposites and Complementarity of opposites such as, matter/energy, body/mind, male/female. Hence, the Supremacy of Dualism prevails. This Paper examined supervenience and how Consciousness supervenes matter similar to how magnet supervenes a loadstone.
