The small answer=looks at the most microscopic level of nature, the quantum field, and tries to define how subatomic particles =ould possibly contain the potential for consciousness. The molecules insid= the human brain are as ordinary as the water, salt, and minerals in the o=ean or the carbon in a lettuce leaf. The existence of the cosmos is often described as "something ou= of nothing," because the ground state of creation is a kind of zero =oint, a vacuum state devoid of space, time, matter, and energy. (Technical=y, "nothing" is a misnomer, because the quantum vacuum contains the potential for every bit of matter and energy in the co=mos, existing in virtual form.) The fact that space, time, matter, and ene=gy sprang from nothing makes it easier to credit that consciousness did th= same.
