Description: The idea that the world is made of physical stuff alone has been central to scientific progress. But our theories do not account for experience or thought, and the particles of contemporary theoretical physics have no dimensions, so that material seemingly vanishes. Might materialism be a profound mistake? Should we see the world as being at least partly immaterial, or can stuff alone explain the universe? CERN physicist John Ellis, Consciousness author Susan Blackmore and Closure theorist Hilary Lawson. In association with the New College of the Humanities. bit.ly/2FdPgLD
