Science studies the physical and measurable. Consciousness isn’t physical or measurable. That’s why the “hard problem” sits outside what science, by definition, can explain.

That's just a question begging assertion, and there's plenty of empirical knowledge of necessary physical conditions for consciousness as well as predictable physical influences on conscious states. Whether consciousness is "measurable" is part of what's at issue and can't just be definitionally presupposed.
