A multidisciplinary examination of reality s structure led to an explicit defining of consciousness. It is derived from an equation an excellent candidate for the Theory of Everything. When scientific problems become intractable, they need to be examined in a new way. Solving these very problems helped penetrate reality s deepest mysteries. Although nonreductionistic explanations are sought, most scientists are educated toward experimentation.
Physical experimentation is primarily reductionistic.
It concerns what something is. At least with physical experimentation one can easily propose and describe how he intends to accomplish his goals. Such are the ways of empirical science. Scientists have not clearly understood how a nonreductionistic methodology works. Yet, many are aware reductionism is insufficient to categorically explain anything including macroevolution.
