Universe IsnÂ’t Pointless, Says Physicist Dr. Jean Burns

2007-04-03, Skeptiko
Join host Alex Tsakiris when he interviews physicist Dr. Jean Burns about her experiences on the front lines of the “psi wars”.

During the 50-minute interview Burns discusses the relationship between physics and consciousness research: “… physics says, and remember currently known physics is about matter, it’s not about consciousness … the whole universe is pointless … but that’s not all there is, because if you add consciousness, and you add free will, then there’s something more.”

She also explains how religion thought is becoming more in-tune with science: “Religion has a certain amount of doctrines, and if you go to the people who are connected to the theological aspect of any religion there’s a concern – are we compatible with what science is saying? Because if we’re not, people are not going to accept it.”

The interview is available for immediate free download at: www.skeptiko.com/index.php?id=16

Dr. Burns is the author of many scholarly papers and is co-editor of, Psi Wars (2003).
