Don't know how to easily word this question?

This will be a long question so please bare with me.



I'm a physics major (still studying) and i have gone pretty far in understanding particle physics. However there is one major problem i have found. Now all technology we have works like dominoes, a big long line of reactions caused by the laws of physics, e.g computers start when we press the on button which is like a switch completing a circuit allowing directed electricity to flow and through very complicated circuits make our computers act like they do. No laws are broken or anything. The laws are actually what makes it work.



However how is it that we have a conscious choice of how we move, the neurons in our brain send off an impulse which initiates our muscles etc to move, but at an atomic level how do we have the choice of moving the particles that cause the start of these reactions?



I dunno if you get what i mean but yeah.



Haven't been able to find anything online and haven't been to ask my professor so any info you know of will help.Don't know how to easily word this question?
Compare it with Schroedinger's cat. The cat is in a state that we can name neither dead nor alive, but which is described perfectly by its wave function.



The problem is not the physics. The problem is the linking of the description in deterministic physics terms with the macroscopic world terms like conscience, which are usually not so clear.



Try making really clear 'working description' of conscience. Once you have one you will notice that if it is clear enough, you can link it with physics terms. Unfortunately you will also notice that it doesn't quite describe what we usually mean with conscience.Don't know how to easily word this question?
As I understand it, the more neurons there are close together the "smarter" they get. I don't really know how to explain it, but I recently saw something on TV about that. Where I take this is that our brains don't send one exact signal out from one single neuron but multiple ones that give different or similar choices. As they pass along from one neuron to another, 5 sending to 1 as axons and dendrites work that way, the next neuron reads the messages it receives and chooses among those, either by majority or in agreement with what it believes should pass on. In the end the majority vote does play out and our actions become concrete.



I'm sorry if this has no real way to hold itself up and is of no help, but my understanding of how cells work in a "thinking" way is limited.
