Levels of Consciousness and Feedback Loops in Humans
49:32 - 57:03 (07:30)
The human consciousness is the combination of feedback loops that create models of oneself in space, society, and time, constantly thinking about the future. The reptile's consciousness, on the other hand, is limited to spatial consciousness or awareness of location in space.

Summary
Einstein aimed to create a theory of everything that would "allow him to read the mind of God". Despite the complexity of the quantum standard model, the low energy universe can be summarized on one sheet of paper using Einstein's equations.
