Consciousness is the process of absorption (from reality) and emission (to the environment through thought, imagination, sense, reflection, etc) by neurons, of quantum information.

 Let’s not forget we’re part of nature, namely the extension of nature to have the capacity to perceive itself.

 The arrow of time begins with the conversion of quantum probabilistic states into deterministic states, facilitated infinitely by the scalar field in the vacuum of space.

 I don't know about dark matter, but I think dark energy could very well be the gravitational influence caused by incrementally growing cluster sizes of massive objects as we go farther into the eternal space. That, to my belief is the reason why we can only detect it indirectly.

 Reality check wins over all of our allegations.

 As a curious person explores the history of the world, they increasingly recognize that events typically exhibit clear starting and ending points. Whenever the world has confronted uncertain futures due to ideological clashes, we have been forced to undergo periods of destructive wars that have hindered the advancement of our civilization. Whether analogous phenomena occur in other civilizations across the universe is still unknown.

 Every decision made so far on our planet is about weighing in on the balance of power.
