When you turn from one room to the next, when your animal senses no longer perceive the sounds of the dishwasher, the ticking clock, the smell of a chicken roasting - the kitchen and all its seemingly discrete bits dissolve into nothingness - or into waves of probability.

Reality is observer-determined - it's a spatio-temporal process, which fortunately means that things must change.

Any universe that could have preceded consciousness only existed in a probability state.

Without consciousness, space and time are nothing.

Space and time, not proteins and neurons, hold the answer to the problem of consciousness. When we consider the nerve impulses entering the brain, we realize that they are not woven together automatically, any more than the information is inside a computer.

Death is simply a break in our linear stream of consciousness.

We take for granted how our mind puts everything together.
