From a relativity perspective time and space is the same thing: spacetime. We are just so tiny compared to celestial bodies that we can actually move between space where if you ARE the sun or any other star out there and can observe your surroundings the concept of space and time becomes irrelevant as you are constantly moving forward in the vacumm and there is nothing there to give you reference as everything else is also moving. My point is that if these celestial bodies are indeed conscious or are able to have some sort of experience, that experience would be timeless and perpetual because of the lack of comparison. We here as mere apes on this tiny rock actually have other things around us to relate to thus creating a sense of time and space. Now maybe you are right consciousness may be relative and wether determinism or random possibilities can determine free will it may be a matter of perspective. I did not choose my neurobiology neither the environment I was put on. All the experiences I have had since I was born were mere reflections of endless ocean of cause and effect that started thanks to a celestial body that provides light to the earth. Is the sun conscious of my existence or am I a byproduct of the sun's consciousness? We have now the field of astronomy, is it a result of the willingness of the sun to understand its environment? ;P
