Some of the world's most renowned scientists believe that the cosmos has an inner life similar to our own. In this video let’s see a few research and proposals by scientists that attempt to show the universe has consciousness. No matter the outcome, we’ll soon learn more about what it means to be conscious and which objects around us might have a mind of their own.

First of all, what exactly is consciousness? The basic definition of consciousness leaves a lot of questions unanswered. According to the Oxford Dictionary of Psychology, consciousness is the normal mental condition of the waking state of humans, characterized by the experience of perceptions, thoughts, feelings, awareness of the external world, and often in humans' self-awareness. Scientists simply don’t have one unified theory of what consciousness is. We also don’t know where it comes from, or what it’s made of.
Scientists think consciousness is inherent in even the tiniest pieces of matter. This idea suggests the fundamental building blocks of reality have conscious experience. Crucially, it implies consciousness could be found throughout the universe. One of the leading minds in physics, the 2020 Nobel laureate and black hole pioneer Roger Penrose, has written extensively about quantum mechanics as a suspected vehicle of consciousness. In 1989, he wrote a book called The Emperor’s New Mind, in which he claimed that human consciousness is non-algorithmic and a product of quantum effects.

The resulting theory is called Integrated Information Theory (IIT). In IIT, consciousness is everywhere, but it accumulates in places where it’s needed to help glue together different related systems. This means the human body is jam-packed with a ton of systems that must interrelate, so there’s a lot of consciousness that can be calculated. The quantity of consciousness in Integrated Information Theory is known as phi.
