Some Scientists Believe the Universe Is Conscious - Sounds like a bad trip ... but what if it's true?

“Although I think that life may be the result of an accident, I do not think that of consciousness. Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.”
~ Erwin Schrödinger
[As quoted in The Observer (11 January 1931); also in Psychic Research (1931), Vol. 25, p. 91]

@crackurbones Consciousness is just a made up term to make us feel special, an illusion of evolution. I dont think the universe is anymore conscious than us humans.
Though if we assume humans are conscious then one could argue the universe is conscious as we are components in the universe. The universe literally evolved overtime to have consciousness in that sense.
@freemo
Yep. The universe observed itself through us.
@crackurbones
Well.. it is testable and falseable.
Like the story of the creation on the Bible.
The Bible one does not check with reality
