Science Essay - Why the difficulty in making Science of Philosophy lies at the roots of their differences yet guides their interconnectedness
Can you measure a thought? How would you even start? A study published in Biophysical Journals in January 2020 went on the venture of doing exactly as such and did so by employing the newest branch of physics. Danko Georgiev of the Institute of Advanced Study in Sofia, Bulgari published an article that starts off by discussing classical physics shortcomings of any ability to observe or measure the apparent non-physical nature of conscious experience. He emphasizes that we are only certain of our own perspectives and that we are objectively unable to establish who has consciousness. In addition, he highlights that we also face the impossibility of being able to communicate the nature of experience, for example, such as the difficulty in telling someone what red looks like (Georgiev, 2020). Therefore instead, the research takes advantage of the nondeterministic, probabilistic domain of quantum physics and quantum information and argues that since quantum states are not observable an...
