Sir John Eccles, a famous British neurologist and Nobel laureate, declared, "I want you to realize that there exists no color in the natural world, and no sound — nothing of this kind; no textures, no patterns, no beauty, no scent." What Eccles means is that all the qualities of Nature, from the luxurious scent of a rose to the sting of a wasp and the taste of honey, are produced by human beings. The most distant galaxies billions of light years away, have no reality without you, because everything that makes any galaxy real— with the multitude of stars with their heat, emitted light, and masses, the positions of the distant galaxies in space and the velocity that carries each distant galaxy away at enormous speed— requires a human observer with a human nervous system.

Response 3 EFTA_R1_01914700 EFTA02664698  "That's because it isn't, and everyone here (apparently save one) is rational and objective enough to understand that. Physical phenomena, and phenomena in general, are ultimately perceptual in nature and subject to observational replication - that's why they call physics an empirical science. But consciousness is not. Consciousness cannot be objectively, replicably observed. Its putative physical correlates, including brains and behaviors, can be replicably observed, and it can be subjectively apprehended by any conscious entity. But that's it. Anyone who denies this understands neither physics nor consciousness, and has a severe logic problem to boot, inasmuch as he/she cannot properly distinguish between cognition and perception or internal and external state. This isn't "polemics". This is just the way it is. Stop overreaching.
