The problem of consciousness is about understanding systems which feed back into themselves, build a model of themselves, and reason about themselves. The structure underneath is well known, if not perfectly understood.

The problem of physics is that it’s not clear what the structure of reality is. It is not known in the slightest but it seems unlikely it has a connection to metacognition.

tldr article looks like it’s pretty much trash popsci; why is it even here? Kill it with fire ;)
