Penrose has convinced me that current theory is at least incomplete and that there is need for a "new physics", if you will.
There is nothing in physics or any of the rest of the sciences that begins to explain the whole human being. Consciousness is an ever-present, universal characteristic, not an epiphenomenon.
Have you read, or has anyone here read, The Conscious Universe by Dean Radin. It's science and rigorous, not bunk, but it will make Materialist scientists uncomfortable.
