The Mainstream Scientific Community is Open to Incremental but not Holistic Ideas
Maurice Goodman
Abstract
I agree with the view expressed, in your editorial
in the March 2017 issue of NeuroQuantology, that
we need to be brave enough to rewrite and most
likely add to the physics text books if we are to
make progress in consciousness and the workings
of the mind. The question is, what do we need to
add? The good news is that this will not require
any new revolution, but a full acceptance that man
is not at the centre of the Universe and all that this
implies. The bad news is that our behaviour in the
500 years since Copernicus is possibly one of the
worst examples, in history, of man’s ‘resistance to
change’. It is the mainstream scientific community,
still subconsciously rooted in pre-Copernican
intuitions, that is preventing progress in the
fundamental physics of life and hence in fields
such as the mind and consciousness
