Descriere What Matter Feels: Consciousness, Energy and Physics (How Science can Explain Minds) - Robert Pepperell

\nDoes matter feel? \n \nDo flowers enjoy blooming? \n \nDo springs dislike being stretched? \n \n\n \nModern science denies that matter feels anything at all, let alone pleasure or pain. \n \nBut modern science is yet to explain how anything can feel-even us.\n \n\n \nIn What Matter Feels, Robert Pepperell PhD-a UK-based professor of interdisciplinary research-presents an innovative scientific framework that explores how consciousness might emerge from material systems.\n \n\n \nBy rethinking foundational principles of physics, Pepperell proposes that psychological properties of matter can be measured with the same accuracy as its physical properties like mass and energy. \n \n\n \nThe tools and methods offered in this treatise introduce a groundbreaking way of predicting and testing the psychological behaviour of both living and non-living systems, opening a new frontier in scientific inquiry.\n \n\n \nIn this book, you will discover: \n \n\n \n- \n- An innovative scientific framework that explores how consciousness might emerge from material systems, \n- Tools and methods to predict and test the psychological behaviour of both living and non-living systems, \n- A new scientific explanation for the relation between brain activity and mental states, \n- Profound insights into the evolutionary forces that shape living organisms, \n- An exploration of how science can explain minds. \n\n \nAt the heart of the book is a provocative idea: experience is a fundamental property of nature, deeply tied to the flow of energy within material systems.\n \n \n \nBuilding on this hypothesis, Pepperell proposes a scientific model that may not only explain the correlation between neural activity and mental states but also their causal relationship. His approach offers testable predictions about, for example, how pleasure and pain are encoded in the brain and sheds light on the evolutionary forces that shape living organisms.\n \n\n \nWhat Matter Feels invites you, the reader, to engage with a living scientific document, one that encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and experimental exploration.\n \n\n \nExplore how science can explain minds and challenge your way of thinking!\n \n\n
