Why are people confident that consciousness can be made sense of in terms of the entities described in Modern Physics?

I think you've had enough time. Right now, we stand at exactly 0 (yes, 0) progress. Consciousness has not been explained in terms of anything outside of consciousness.

To make 0 progress is pretty clear evidence we should move on to something else.

This. Heat is a form of energy. The sun does not radiate heat. It radiates electromagnetic radiation.

Imagine you drop a baseball that weighs 100 grams. It accelerates towards the ground at X m/s. Now imagine you cut the ball into two hemispheres which weigh each 50 grams. Then you dropped them at the same time. Now they should accelerate slower than X since they have less weight. But the only difference between these two drops is that in the first one, the hemispheres were held together by atomic forces. Why would this difference alone affect the acceleration?
