Without consciousness what does anything "look" like?
have been proven true experimentally and are considered irrefutable scientific laws.
This is my jam right hereIt will all be gone regardless, only question is "how soon". Humans, despite their destructive nature, are the only chance life on this planet has to live beyond the life of the sun (if we don't see lethal global warming sooner, we will DEFINITELY see it then!)...which is a small fraction of the life of stars in the universe in general. Sooner or later entropy will catch up even to red dwarf stars and black holes, but perhaps humans can make it "later". Or perhaps we kill ourselves off in the next 50 years. At the scale of life in universe in general or even life in solar system it won't change much if we kill ourselves off vs don't, if we can't become spacefaring.
I'd say its consumption. That is the other thing all living things seem to have in common... our need to constantly consume other things to survive.The point of life appears to be reproduction. That is the only thing all life seems to have in common, whether you look at a zebra, human, virus, amoeba, or mushroom.
Then the experiment are always ruined in an extremely lucky way since quantum mechanic invariably shows immense prediction power and huge precision even if it doesn't show the whole picture. And that is that science is all about. So, if you consider quantum mechanics a bunch of hoodoo any scientific knowlwdge is even more hoodoo.Like Kyriakos said, they still haven't unified quantum mechanics with general relativity. It's just a bunch of hoodoo made up by scientists to explain away phenomenon that they are simply unable to observe because the light that they use in those electro-microscopes interacts with and effects the particles they are trying to observe (thus ruining the experiment). So quantum mechanics is just their conjecture about what they think is going on down there.
Hey, you're right! Coral reefs do not appear to move. Parts of trees do move towards the sun, though.
So at which level of activity do we know the truth of how things work?Like Kyriakos said, they still haven't unified quantum mechanics with general relativity. It's just a bunch of hoodoo made up by scientists to explain away phenomenon that they are simply unable to observe because the light that they use in those electro-microscopes interacts with and effects the particles they are trying to observe (thus ruining the experiment). So quantum mechanics is just their conjecture about what they think is going on down there.
Hence: movement = ?Corals definitely move in a way analogous to how tress move.
Corals themselves are community organisms, but individual polyps move to react to the environment. Heck, most close up when photosynthesis isn't available, which is movement that benefits the symbiotic photosynthetic organisms they're hosting!

We only consume so that we can have the energy to reproduce, though. Reproduction seems to be the end goal of our biological nature, and in order to get there we need energy (and luck and a clever dating profile)
I disagree. I have been eating my ass off this week... mostly seafood... and I haven't reproduced jack squat, nor have I made the slightest effort to do so. I've been using my energy on videogames, watching television and a bunch of other stuff...We only consume so that we can have the energy to reproduce, though.
If QM is hoodoo, are the other higher levels not hoodoo?

There are very few organisms that actually die the moment they mate.
Paradigm shifts in scientific thought happen slowly and are usually resisted. You are impatient and discovering true things can both be hard and take time.No, I just don't believe in quantum mechanics. So you could call me a quantum mechanics denier. However you don't need quantum mechanics to believe in all the other scientific stuff.
Quantum mechanics is very sketchy at best and IMHO I believe it may be disproven in the next decade or two. Most of it is just a bunch of hype bolstered up by the media, and it all started around 2010. Before 2010 you like barely heard about quantum mechanics, it was only talked about in private circles back then and never really known to the public. You wanna know why? Because most scientists propably didn't have much faith in it back then to tell the media/public. So meanwhile back in the day we were all taught classical physics in school instead. Absolutely nothing about this quantum hoodoo.
Then suddenly around 2010 it all blows up in the media and before long quantum becomes the new scientific craze that anyone will talk about. It's much older than that, but clearly if it was taken seriously in the past than we all would have been taught about it back in the 60s and 70s. But we weren't, which probably proves most scientists way back then thought it was crackpot science.
So what changed in 2010? I'll tell you what! We have a bunch of crackpot scientists on the job now, that's what! They're so desperate to advance new theories beyond general relativity in order to cash in on government grants. Problem is there hasn't been anything to challenge general relativity in over 80 years. So their solution was to pull out an ancient crackpot theory, pass it on to the public, and lie to governments that it will solve all their problems for cryptography and such. Next, before you know it all those gullible nations are lining up to hand out free cash to the crackpots. Easy money all pocketed and still no advanced cryptography computer in over TEN YEARS!!!
Yeah guys but sorry quantum mechanics is the biggest scam of our time and it can only continue so far before someone who's at the top calls b.s.! Hence 10 -20 years from now all you people's on CFC are gonna thank me for calling out this most inglorious scam that has wasted billions of dollars of hard earned taxpayer money!
Molecules that are involved in photosynthesis exhibit the same quantum effects as non-living matter, concludes an international team of scientists including University of Groningen theoretical physicist Thomas la Cour Jansen. This is the first time that quantum mechanical behavior was proven to exist in biological systems that are involved in photosynthesis. The interpretation of these quantum effects in photosynthesis may help in the development of nature-inspired light-harvesting devices. The results were published in Nature Chemistry on 21 May.
