For decades, materialism has been the dominant philosophy in both physics and neuroscience.
In this piece, theoretical physicist and neuroscientist Àlex Gómez-Marín argues that the strict gatekeeping of alternatives to materialism is itself the most dangerous form of pseudoscience. True progress, he suggests, requires us to face what our current theories cannot yet explain.
“Psychical research offers a deluxe mirror to examine whether we live in a world where science thrives uncensored,” Gómez-Marín writes.
