Do you have an intuition , an idea of what consciousness can be ?

I do not . It is clearly some higher level interaction that is hard to understand one neuron at a time .
In your books , especially in Warped Passages and Knocking on Heaven ’ s Door , you show the wonderful ability of explaining the most complicated mysteries of physics to the general public . How do you do it ?

Thank you . It is hard work in fact . I enjoy challenges and I respect my readers . If they want to understand something they are entitled to and it is up to me to break it down in an understandable ( and hopefully interesting and entertaining ) way . I view it as a creative challenge in fact and I also give it to lots of patient people who have read earlier less finished versions . By the way , those are my only two books , aside from a short ebook about the Higgs boson !
