There have been many books written on conciousness, but mostly, just people coming up with inconculsive and unprovable ideas.
There is a school of thought (among various schools of thought) that conciousness is simply a manifestation of matter (ie resulting from the inner workings of the brain), rather than some mysterious new "force".
If conciousness where just spun-off from physics, shouldn't it be measurable and follow the thermodynamic laws ?
I was thinking of putting this question in Religion, but religious people don't tend to think in terms of thermodynamics.I also considered going to Science/Physics, but the science community all but ignores the question of conciousness.
Can the laws of thermodynamics be applied to how “conciousness” comes about ?

What will it take to convince congress to pass a fair immigration reform?
Universal Laws - June 22, 2009
I say immigrants deserve to be legal in this country because they work, pay taxes, and most of them live a normal life. They already tried sending letters to congress, made historical manifestations everywhere in the country, etc, etc. So what will it take to convince them? These people are here to work, they deserve it.
by them I mean, what will it take to convince congress? Isn't it enough already? What do they want?
