The evidence so far...

Scientists are still looking for consciousness. They are doing an
amazing job of mapping the brain, but are no closer to this discovery.

They can observe miniscule quantities of energy 'sparking' through
synapsies, and can watch those connections reforming to suit
prevailing conditions, such as onset of blindness etc. As exciting to
the observer as any Hubble telescope observations.(Observing life, is
observing life be it micro or macro)

Would it not be logical to look for the source of energy there,
considering the prevailing belief being that the brain is 'king'?

We are on the verge of pulverising protons, and the speculation is we
will see matter turn into energy.

Can you see why it is often said that science is always playing catch
up?
