Science doesn't understand how the brain works well enough to make one - but that is not more of a "hole in the scientific understanding of the world" than is embryology, or muscles or metabolism - which we don't completely understand either.
I don't agree with the bits about "quantum entanglement" or "dualism" either - this material is just all wrong, in my view.
I wouldn't worry about the "quantum entanglement" part, which is not needed for the more general claim that we don't know squat about consciousness.
Anyway, I disagree - embryology, muscles, and metabolism are not mysteries in the way that consciousness is. I find it astonishing you would even make the comparison.
