Why physicists need to study consciousness

[ProgrammingGodJordan]

As Max Tegmark expressed in a youtube video here, physicists have long neglected to define the observer in much of the equations. (The observer being the intelligent agent)

Perhaps consciousness may be defined in terms of very complex equations, from disciplines, like Physics; as an example, degrees of general structures such as manifolds central to physics and mathematics, are now quite prevalent in the study of Deep Learning.

[Lord Antares]

You again.

I don't see how any of this has any connection to consciousness. How does the "arrow of time" relate to consciousness? Or quantum gravity or entropy? You are being vague again.

Moderator Note

While a discussion of what constitutes an observer is physics, the connection with consciousness is tenuous. An observer need not be an intelligent agent.  

And you should know better by now that you can't just post a jpeg and a video link as a substitute for discussion.

If you want to discuss consciousness, do it better, and do it in the appropriate forum.
