Does Consciousness Break the Laws of Physics?

Elitzur argues that explaining consciousness may require revising physics itself, not just better neuroscience.

• The core mystery: Elitzur argues subjective experience — knowing 'what it's like' to see red — can never be captured by describing neuron-to-neuron brain processes, no matter how complete.
• The consciousness-does-something argument: Elitzur's proof is that a zombie physically identical to a human would do everything humans do EXCEPT write books or talk about the problem of consciousness itself — implying consciousness has real causal effect.
