Imagine that we have a second Universe, that looks exactly the same as
the materialistic parts of our Universe. We may call this second
Universe B-Universe. (Our Universe is A-Universe.)
This B-Universe looks exactly the same as A-Universe. Where there is a
hydrogen atom in A-Universe, there will also be a hydrogen atom in
B-Universe, and everywhere that there is an oxygen atom in A-Universe,
there will be an oxygen atom i B-universe. The only difference between
A-Universe and B-Universe is that B-Universe is totally free from
consciousness, feelings, minds, souls, and all that kind of stuff. The
only things that exist in B-Universe are atoms reacting with eachother.
All objects in B-Universe behave in exactly the same way as the objects
in A-Universe.
The objects in B-Universe produces the same kind of sounds as we produce
in A-Universe, and the objects in B-Universe pushes the same buttons on
their computers as we do in our A-Universe.
Questions:
Is B-Universe possible?
If we interview an object in B-Universe, what will that object answer,
if we ask it: "Are you conscious?"?
