    Physically yes.

    But sentience is not a physical thing. Sentience does not answer to Newton's Laws. When the sentient organism dies its physical parts are redistributed but its sentience just disappears, it has no durable properties.

    Let's put it this way. Sentience does not occupy space. It is an abstract cognitive property.
    That is why the phenomenon of consciousness is so hard to pin down.

    Consciousness and sentience are emergent properties and when the causal physical patterns disintegrate the emergent property ceases to emerge.......

    Because Sentience is life . Life is beyond Newton's Laws .

    By your own words......"It's a durable physical world". A rock has no thoughts.

    Brains generate thoughts, but they are not physically measurable, they are a fleeting emergent internal phenomena of biological organisms.

    If I flick a light switch, light is generated by the electrical current. When I switch the current off, the light disappears. It just does no longer exist. Nothingness.

    And thoughts are somewhat similar, turn the brain off and thoughts just disappear. Poof!

    Not when there is no speech. We are not talking about how thoughts are transmitted. We are talking about when thoughts are no longer transmitted. They just disappear . Nothingness.
    How does light disappear? Upon collapse of the wave function, no? Nothingness.
    Thoughts are similar except internal to neural networks. Thoughts may be the result of wave function collapse in microtubules. Once the wave function has collapsed there is no longer thought.

    Perhaps , but that's not how I look towards thought .

    Thought is based on knowledge . Knowledge never ends .

    Yes it does. Only transmitted knowledge continues. Of the near infinity of thoughts harbored by all sentient things that ever lived, only that which was transmitted via speech, writing, painting, electronic storage remains. The vast bulk of thoughts have just disappeared.
    Just think how many thoughts have never been transmitted? Where are they stored?

    p.s. is late here,, continue tomorrow?

    Written down you mean , many . The biggest crime to knowledge was the destruction of Alexandria , Egypt .

    Electronics is as venerable as any papyrus .

    I would want both .

    Can I ask what you really intended with that statement?

    I'm lost, that's my reaction.

    Does the Universe its self still exist , Galaxies , Quasars , Stars , etc. ?




    The difference between Life Energy , and Physical Energy . GALAXIES . That was my intention . They are not the same forms of energy . Yet both exist .

    What is "Life Energy" worth when you have suicidal thoughts?

    Supposedly it is that what prevents you from acting on it.

    This has been debated by several philosophers.

    Life Energy is not the same as Environmental Psychological affects of experience from the environment . Life Energy is not about experience , it is about manifestation of a living entity , in any environment that life can manifest . Where life can , life will exist , manifest .

    Life energy is nothing more than a dynamic condition. The logical mathematical nature of physical interactions guide the actual self-formation and continuation of patterns as described in Chaos Theory.

    None of this requires a motivated agency. Lifeforce is a function of "the Darwinian dynamic" which was causal to the phenomenon of abiogenesis.

    Why is there a dynamic condition in the first place that produces Life ? Mathematics . Based on the physical .
