Our linear concept of time means nothing to nature.

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

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.

The laws of nature are structured so that we grow and change, and get to experience the full spectrum of biological existence.

In whatever form it takes, life sings because it has a song. The meaning is in the lyrics.

So for instance it becomes clear why space and time and even the properties of matter itself depend on the observer in consciousness. In fact when you take this point of view it even explains why the laws of the universe themselves are fine tuned for the existence of life.

Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist.
