Conscience?
Excellent guess but incorrect. Funny thing is when Himelik remarked that Frosty, Santa, and The Bunny do not exist I was about to write a damn long lecture but decided against it. Seeing as how many people would guess things like "Your Existence" or "Consciousness" or "Your Mind", I have to point it out...

Humans live on only 3 philosophical assumptions: There is an existence, a reality; I am part of this reality; My senses provide me arbitrary but reliable representations of said reality. This existence or reality is omnipresent, eternal unless it ends itself, and also is the source of power and consciousness. Consciousness cannot be formed without an existence. Basically we cannot enter consciousness unless we exist.
That is how far common sense and simple logic can take us. So what is the true nature of something called a consciousness? Such a thing does not exist. Consciousness is an illusion made by your mechanically neurological processes. This can be proved with an example: The first signs of humans becoming more civilized is that they started wearing clothes. No one knows how clothes originated but what we do know is that sometime during the early stages of human development, someone thought "I think covering up our private areas is more civilized and will make humans look good". This was milleniums ago and this simple thought has been carried down even till now. Why I am mentioning this is simple: If that thought hadn't entered anyone's minds then we wouldn't be wearing clothes. If you walk on the streets naked as hell (You'd be arrested for public nudity but that's not the point), then your consciousness would scream at you to wear something. The thing is that, if the idea of wearing clothes wasn't introduced then it would be perfectly normal. Your consciousness is just an illusion of what you think you should be doing. So in truth your thoughts are the ones producing those pieces of consciousness which are in truth just illusions.
Story time out of the way; Okay, consciousnesses aren't real then what is? Nothing. We know nothing of the universe, how it works but what we do know is that something started forming. Being put into existence. Something can't be put into existence if it already was formed. So before the universe there was nothing, a void. I forgot where I read this but someone proved that if a single constant is missing then existence is still not finished forming. Think of it as a cup, we're pouring water into the cup and if there's still space inside the cup then we're not finished pouring. Even consciousness can be considered a constant so since consciousnesses are not real, the universe is still forming. There's space in the cup so there's a little piece of void or nothingness is left and consciousnesses are a part of that void. Take all these into account when trying to solve my riddle
*puts down microphone*
What we can deduce from that: Since there are still parts of the universe to form, there almost an infinite amount of possibilities. Even an exact duplicate of Earth, an exact duplicate of you and an exact duplicate of life as we know is possible, albeit an nigh-on impossibly low chance. My riddle required something that can NEVER be attained by anything or anyone. Good luck
There is also no use in searching it up on the internet. It's a riddle I created a few years back and hence it's answer isn't on the internet.
I have nothing to say.
