What if there’s no experiment to work out which theory of consciousness is correct?
- Professor of Philosophy, Durham University
The universe appears to be fine-tuned for life to evolve.
There’s a battle over consciousness research – and whether it can be understood purely through science.
Of the risks posed by AI, overtaking human intelligence isn’t an immediate concern.
The experience of a colour can be profound, but it doesn’t really exist other than in our minds.
One day we will have a science of consciousness, but it won’t be science as we know it today
