0:00.0	Rupert Sheldrake needs no introduction. He's an author and a researcher in the field of Paras Psychology with a PhD from Cambridge and Biochemistry.
0:09.0	This channel is dedicated to conversations around theories of everything, consciousness, free will, God, and topics that are cognate to that.
0:16.0	It's also about putting a spotlight on those who I don't think get as much credit as they should.
0:21.3	And you can see my John Moffat interview as an example of that.
0:25.7	Now, Rupert has plenty of credit. He's done many TED Talks.
0:30.1	But there is one aspect, which I find a significant shame.

1:12.6	So, I mean, the question would be better directed to biologists than physicists.
1:18.6	Well, the fact is that what I'm putting forward are views which are considered by some to be heretical.
1:26.6	I'm trying to find models and ways of doing science
1:31.1	that go beyond the dogmas of mechanistic materialism.
1:36.2	Now that is inevitably controversial
1:38.2	because that is still the dominant orthodoxy
1:40.5	or paradigm.
1:42.0	And there are a lot of people who have a heavy investment in it, particularly
