Sam...
I take your particle-physics stuff, fair points.

Although it's gonna lead to a debate on the "physics" of the mind... Do you have to have a brain to have a consciousness?
Is the mind a collection of electrical impulses?
If so, could a non-electrical-based organism develop what we would call a "sense of self"?
And if it could, would it have a compatible form of communication with us, or would it see us in the same way we see a bit of cloth blowing in the wind, or fire?

Er... Sorry, carried away there.
