Nononois consciousness only an earthly phenomena?
is electrical impulses only an earthly phenomena?
once an earthly form collapses does it cease to exist in some other form or as energy?
Thank you.Nonono
KISS,Thank you.
We only know of living things on Earth. It seems that to be conscious requires life.
Electricity is commonplace in the universe.
I have no idea what you mean by 'Earthly form'.
it seems is generally an ego centric view again as if the earth is the center of the universe.
some believe an earthly brain is necessary for consciousness, this would then mean consciousness can only exist on earth
I would *bet* there is life other places in the universe and there may even be conscious life other places. We simply don't know one way or the other at this point.
Also, I have no idea what information processing organ would be used if there is conscious life other places. It may or may not be similar to our brains. I see no reason why conscious life would be unique to the Earth.
But, like I said, we simply do not know one way or the other at this point.

They're just avoiding us.I look at it this way, if there isn't (or hasn't been) life (any life) elsewhere in the universe then it's an awfully big waste of space
Jellyfish have existed for about 600+ million years without brains

Are jellyfish conscious?
I'm betting not.
Reasonable, however what I think is more relevant is that they've never evolved brains despite being here 600+ million years compared to humans, @ ~ 6 million years if you count our ancestors
Holy moly you made me watch a TED video. I knew they were intelligent, but wow, what an incredible creature.The octopus brain is diffused in a way very dissimilar to that of vertebrates.
