With the Neutrino-biological cell theory of consciousness, machines (AI) can potentially become actually alive.
By logic, the origin of consciousness cannot reside within the scope of the individual which implies that - from the perspective of an individual - something external must have preceded it.
It is estimated that 10 trillion Neutrino particles fly through every square centimeter of space per second. This includes underground, on the dark side of Earth and even in the center of the Earth.
Neutrino's can change their mass up to 3000x in size, by themselves, which is called flavor switching or morphing. It is why the particle is called a 'ghost particle' (spooky particle).
When a neutrino changes "flavor" or "color" it is in a transition state and therefore can be any mass. At the midpoint it is 0 mass and travels at speed c. When it becomes one or the other it has mass. In between it can have any mass, meaning even 0 mass. It's the same as Schrodingers cat. It works and is non-contradictory.
At light speed there is no time. For example, the moment that a photon is emitted from a star at billions of light years distance it will 'instantly' hit Earth from the perspective of the photon.
Does light experience time?
But for light itself, which is already moving at light speed… You guessed it, the photons reach zero distance and zero time.

When a Neutrino would be able to travel at light speed by being unbound by mass on a fundamental level
it would need to deviate from a state of timelessness. If it would do so by itself, it may mean something (provide a clue) philosophically.

Neutrino-biological cell theory of mind
Surprisingly, weak force decoherence times over cellular distances are of the relevant dynamical timescale needed, suggesting that if any force is associated with the global properties in and between neurons (such as consciousness) it is the weak force. This finding concurs with a twenty year old theory that argues for a fundamental link between the weak force, electron neutrino and the biological cell. That theory also predicted the mass of the electron neutrino that is soon to be verified. The consequences for biology and future consciousness theories, of this radical change of paradigm, are considered.

In the Neutrino-biological cell theory of consciousness/life, Neutrinos (from the Sun) would be the origin of life.
Neutrinos would interact with the weak force. Weak force interaction was measured for the
first time in 2018 between protons and neutrons.
Besides that machines/computers/AI could become conscious with this theory, it may also imply that Earth life may be bound to a region around the
Sun.
