We created this blog out of a desire to share what turned out to be one of the most intense journeys of our lives. And weirdest of all, we never expected anything like it. We stumbled on a whole new world, one we had no idea was there, blocking our path. As two physicists, we set out to define in precise terms and figure out the scientific truth about the consciousness. Scientists are often just gold diggers, looking for new areas of thought still shrouded in mystery and myth, only to bring back tangible laws, if possible in a nice mathematical wrapping. And no other field is more lost in the bad company of new age talk and confusing philosophical ramblings than the study of consciousness, of what it means to be alive instead of inert. And we did succeed in bringing back something which matched our expectations, but which was so odd that it changed entirely the way we think about things (yes, in general!).
We will try in this blog to describe somehow what is this rich continent of opportunities that stood in our way so that hopefully others might have a desire to go there. This is still an ongoing exploration, so some things we say now might be changed in later posts. We will try, to our best, to steer away from philosophical technojargon -- which we're too dumb for anyway. After all, our goal is to ease people into this world in all honesty and simplicity, and inspire them to think for themselves about this matter, not adorn ourselves with incomprehensible jewels of our superior knobheadedness.
We hope you enjoy the trip and, if anything, that it moves some imagination greater than ours.
