Oh my... you are taking it for granted that we live in the world of physical objects and Newtonian physics... But, once again, are you simply allowing your five senses to dictate what is real and what is not? Life? Death? Birth and cell division? Are those concepts real or are they simply existential experiences? IS the universe expanding or are you talking about what we perceive to be the physical universe? Again, there is so much more involved in all-that-is than the mere physicality of our own senses. We've begun to delve into the nature of physical reality in the field of quantum mechanics. There are things such as M-theory that suggest that reality is much stranger and more varied that ever thought possible... We are just beginning to break the surface in our need to describe and understand physical reality. It IS much stranger than our imagination is prepared to accept and comprehend.

What IS consciousness? Frankly, no one really knows. There are many, many theories and ideas, but those things are all unprovable concepts that are little more than beliefs.

Are you thinking out of the box? If you are, then you know there is no box.
