Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Is advaita-vedaanta falsifiable?
The correlates of consciousness seem to show, and can be measured, but they do not actually show that consciousness exists, -- FWIW, that seems to apply also to, say, Higgs field, doesn't it?? The collision of protons, or whatever, creates rare(?) elementary particles that are predicted to be associated(?) with Higgs field??
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Is advaita-vedaanta falsifiable?
I suppose that would be correct, the Higgs field and its mathematics is the hypothesis that is given to explain the observed phenomena. A field in physics is defined as a region in which each point in space-time is affected by a force. When we observe the universe, it would seem everything is all part of one thing, that there is really just one field, but so far, no one has produced a provable mathematical representation of such a field. We have all these separate fields which we have come up with in our minds, but do they really exist, or are they like the lines we draw between the stars to create a constellation, as matter of convenience? We have quantum mechanics and relativity, but they are separate. And we have consciousness, and scientifically cannot figure out how that fits in either, the TM movement's attempts to snowball it all together notwithstanding. "How does it all fit?" is a great game. Drives science, the seeking of enlightenment, religion. We do not have a workable definition of consciousness for science. There is usual definition, "the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself," which is subjective, or is surmised on the basis of behavior, but it does not give a clue to its intrinsic character as a measurable quantity.
