What is so mysterious about human consciousness?

62. I don't boil everything down to information, I boil it down to energy.

Information is an aspect of energy.

The entire universe is a big blob of energy. We're all zipping along at the speed of light, none of us more than a pattern on the waves.

Ultimately this pattern can't be described as "information" because the energy is all there is, in and of itself.

I see no reason to complicate the universe with a theory of luminiferous aether, an information theory, space, time, mass, or anything else. It's all energy.

A theory of mass, space, time, or information might make the math a little easier under very specific circumstances, but these theories cannot describe the entire picture. We went from Newton's equations to Einstein's equations to the madness of today's Physics, but we're probably still at the kindergarten level of that which minds such as ours might understand.

At our current level of social development this may be a good thing. Nuclear bombs are bad enough, if humans had something like Back to the Future's Mr. Fusion humans would eat the planet.
