Yet without consciousness those same physicists would not be able to consider anything.

I'm not suggesting that consciousness is necessarily a subject that physicists might want to discuss; but to dismiss those who do study it as "quacks and charlatans" shows a degree of unreasonable prejudice unworthy of any intelligent person.

There never was nothing.
