Consciousness has been a domain that science so far hasn’t really dared to enter. It’s part of the realm of religion and philosophy. We know we are conscious. But how does that work? And what does it mean? More and more research in physics points to interconnection between the smallest particles on the deepest levels of matter. Maybe these connections relate to energy fields? Could consciousness be such a field? Should science embrace consciousness research? Research from Northwestern University suggests that consciousness lies well within the realm of scientific inquiry — as impossible as that may currently seem. Two professors from Northwestern argue in a new paper for the benefits that consciousness research could bring for society.
