The quest to understand human consciousness - our ability to be aware of ourselves and our surroundings - has been going on for centuries. Although consciousness is a crucial part of being human, researchers still don't truly understand where it comes from, and why we have it.
But a new study, led by researchers from France and Canada, puts forward a new possibility: what if consciousness arises naturally as a result of our brains maximising their information content? In other words, what if consciousness is a side effect of our brain moving towards a state of entropy?
They still regard the second law of thermodynamics as holy writ, which it definitely is not. Entropy is balanced by syntropy, its opposite. Syntropy is an ordering influence. It decreases disorder. It is associated with living things.
When will they learn that insisting the only thing that exists is the material will not allow us to understand the All?
