A scientist has stepped into one of philosophy's oldest arenas, proposing that consciousness — not matter — is the bedrock of all existence, and that the physical world we navigate is real only insofar as it is experienced.

It is less a scientific discovery than a provocation: an invitation to ask whether the materialist assumptions underlying three centuries of science are foundations or merely habits of thought.
