Consciousness relates to cognition: cognition: study of consciousness and how it may arise. We as humans only know consciousness: it is all we know; it is all we experience, (cid:1688)conscious(cid:1689) is an experience (cid:1688)science(cid:1689); cognitive psychology is (cid:1688)grounded(cid:1689) in reality. Older theory: neurons pulse and hit each other to pass the information. Now we understand that there are dendritic processes. Quantum computers exist and are very powerful. Physics: time is not different from space but cannot obtain gravity. Attached itself to certain types of processing; like how (cid:1688)gravity(cid:1689) exists, Not all the theories can be wrong, but can"t all be right.
