I haven't spent much time contemplating or studying physics, but this is 
my basic understanding of it.

1. The universe is made of particles which behave in predictable ways.
2. A tiny group of people with very expensive tools have seen what 
looked like particles behaving in unpredictable ways.

This has led to the conclusion by some that chaos or randomness is a 
force in the universe just like gravity but a bit harder to demonstrate 
or conceptualize. Seems hasty to me, but they know a lot more than I do.

What I wonder is: if chaos can be accepted as a natural force, why can't 
consciousness? Is there a logical argument against consciousness 
affecting our particles towards non-deterministic behavior?

A lot of very smart people believed the Earth was flat.
