Prove consciousness. Sure, we seem to have it, but can you prove we have it?

From the article:
>In other words, quantum mechanics dictates that the world we see is just one of an infinite number of possibilities. But why? Tegmark doesn’t have an answer, but his ideas demonstrate that there might be a more dynamic relationship between consciousness and other states of matter—that our ability to perceive the world is both a means to an end and also an end (an “object”) in itself.
Just use Many-Worlds Interpretation, then you don't have to deal with consciousness.
