Can 'Biology' explain the hard problem of consciousness?

What makes consciousness so special? Why are we conscious at all? There are no known laws governing the universe that explain why a physical universe would give rise to beings such as ourselves. Beings that are able to not only feel, smell, hear, see & taste but who are also able to reason abstractly, communicate through various languages, understand complicated concepts such as mathematical equations and develop amazing emotionally intelligent attributes such empathy.

For centuries 'Physics' has been the torchbearer for scientific discovery. Ever since astronomer Galileo discovered the four moons of Jupiter, physics has taken a front seat and propelled human discovery for the next few centuries.

Along came Isaac Newton who formulated the theory of universal gravity in the mid -1600s and invented calculus shortly after. Michael Faraday, Ernest Rutherford, Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman and of course who hasn't heard of the late-great physicist Stephen Hawking? Science has been saturated with great physicists who have contributed immensely; being able to explain phenomena that has led to many great technological advancements. That is up until now.

In the past few decades, physics has come to a standstill. Discoveries that were being made regularly just a century ago have slowly grinded to a halt - hit a brick wall as it were. New problems have come to light, problems that 'Quantum Physics' brought into the limelight but has since been unable to solve.
