Thought experiment.
Is Consciousness Born from Nothingness?
Imagine delving deep into your mind, beyond neurons and synapses, into the quantum realm where particles exist in multiple states until observed.
What if, at this level, our brains record experiences in a way that mirrors the quantum eraser experiment where observing particles leads to 'nothingness' instead of concrete facts?
Consider a black and white photographic negative. Paradoxically, the darkest areas (black) hold all the light information, while the lightest areas (white) represent the absence of light. Could our memories and experiences function similarly?
Perhaps consciousness arises not from accumulating information, but from the 'nothingness' that holds all possibilities.
Think about our DNA carrying this inherent 'nothingness', kickstarting our journey of consciousness with potential rather than predefined information.
If our brains are part of the universe, could our thoughts and experiences contribute to the universe's own memory and consciousness?
When people are placed in environments devoid of sensory input like complete darkness and silence they often experience disorientation or a loss of self. Does zero information overwhelm our minds, similar to overexposing a photographic negative?
Could it be that consciousness and the universe are interconnected through this paradoxical 'nothingness'? Is it possible that by embracing 'nothing', we uncover the foundation of everything?
How are we exchanging Empathy with others and the World in general moreover a part of the Universe?
What are your thoughts on this idea? Let's ponder the mysteries of consciousness together.
