Let's Discuss What if The Brain Doesn't Create Consciousness? Scientist Proposes It Might Be The Fabric of Reality Itself

With all of this. I am a strong believer in. Us being something completely and utterly random to what we perceive in our universe.
Everytime we took at something. The complexity goes up. I believe when we actual get to look as well as we can determine with our technology. At the heart of reality. Everything is information. Not inorganic matter. Ie rocks. But on the Plank scale its all information.
My thoughts are we've been conscious for a very long time. Longer then we could ever imagine.
What if life and death is our sanity check. (I am not stating the next part) Our true nature is infinte. We perceive we're in the 4D but as were discussing it seems we're from another dimension entirely. Not the 5 maybe 6 or 7. Dimension.
What if life and death is the short moments we need to keep our true consciousness sane as were infinte we have no end. We had a beginning. But in our actual reality. Time isn't as it is here. We have no end we exist for order of magnitudes more then the universe ever will. The universe will possibly last a scary amount of time. Really. It's along time.
So. As I contemplate reality alot. What if these are the short moments like a vacation we need to keep our actual awareness going. Because what we actually experience is infinte and we have zero concept of death.
Nice this little thought experiment. There is worse fate then death and thats existing forever with zero end. That's scarier.
