How do we go against the current of space-time?
Life and consciousness are information processes. With senses we have input, and memory derives our output. Our organization of information, therefore, lowers entropy. By lowering entropy, consciousness goes against the grain of spacetime's random entropy.

Some physicists claim they can derive quantum mechanics or the constant speed of light from the conscious nature of the universe.

There are many invisible fields we have discovered. It is almost ironic that the invisible field of consciousness has only lately become fundamental to our sciences. Religion has been the first to deal with the invisible field of consciousness, but it went too anthropomorphic with the concept in my opinion.
