Is Science Blind to Human Experience? Rethinking Life, Mind, the Universe and Meaning

Is science missing something fundamental?

In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, I sit down with astrophysicist Adam Frank to explore one of the deepest questions at the intersection of cosmology and consciousness: has modern science systematically ignored experience itself?

We examine whether the scientific worldview, powerful as it is, leaves out the very thing that makes science possible: the lived perspective of the observer. From physics and emergence to life, mind, and meaning, this conversation pushes beyond reductionism and asks whether experience belongs at the foundation of reality.

We discuss the role of observers in physics, the limits of materialism, whether consciousness is an accidental byproduct or an intrinsic feature of the universe, and what it would mean to rethink science without abandoning rigor.

If science describes the world, where do we fit into the picture?
