Why do you think it's important, as even if it does exist it would
explain absolutely precisely nothing. In other words it would explain
just as much as the religious concept of the soul does. It's like the
silly "proof" that God exists: Everything must have a cause and God is
the ultimate cause. So what caused God? Don't ask.
