Consciousness is discussed in scientific terms. Conscious entities can change their own momenta. Conscious entities are proposed to be the instigators of all forces. Wherever forces exist, conscious entities exist. Conscious entities exist in the nuclear, atomic-molecular, biological, and astronomical space time realms. Consciousness is proposed to ultimately be all that exists.
