The Relationship Between Consciousness and Physics
1:20:48 - 1:28:26 (07:38)
The speaker discusses how the standard model of particle physics could potentially be impacted by particles having consciousness properties and how physics emerges from the base layer of consciousness.

In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the concept of emergence of basic laws of physics from the base consciousness layer and how it is easier to derive physics from consciousness than the other way around.

Summary
In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the concept of emergence of basic laws of physics from the base consciousness layer and how it is easier to derive physics from consciousness than the other way around. The idea of panpsychism connecting consciousness and physics is also explored.

Panpsychism is often misunderstood as the belief that particles have consciousness properties.
1:23:06 - 1:24:34 (01:27)
Summary
Panpsychism is often misunderstood as the belief that particles have consciousness properties. However, this is a misunderstanding as the view is simply that everything has some form of consciousness. Physics only tells us about the behavior of particles and what they do, but not what they are.

Summary
The investigation of the emergence of consciousness from the base layer to the beautiful complexity of humanity can be difficult for scientists. There may be other properties in particles like consciousness, which has been ignored by empirical science.
