Science fails to explain qualia, why?

Favorite Answer

The Scientific Method works great for explaining generalizations. However, it fails miserably at explaining phenomena that are too subjective like qualia or all inclusive like the medium which reality exist in.

Science is like a laser its power is in focus not illumination. The differences and uniqueness of individual human experience (Qualia) is simply outside the scope of scientific inquiry.

Science defines the color green as the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520–570 nanometres. What can the scientific expements which validate this conclusion tell us about the differences in how individuals exerpience perceiving the sensation of the color green?

Science hasn't answered this question because it can't answer this question. Attempting to
do so would be unscientific. Generalizations occur as casual events which take place in space and time. Albeit the color green is perceived by the eyes retina (cons & rods) in space and time, but the sensation of the experience of green does not.

Science says that the frequency of light evokes the sensation green when looked at by the eyes cons and rods. However, sensing apparatus that are triggered by external stimuli fails to explain the experience of sensation. The experience of sensations suggest the existence of a Universal conciouness of which we humans take high order.

This is way outside the scope of science....Show more

it is a taste or quality

it is like a emotion the quality of a emotion

sense everybody feels different about a single thing then it can not be measured.

who would decide the qualia of something?
it is asking science cant explain an opinion....Show more

No, it doesn't. The term qualia is dualistic blithering in the first place, mo, but if we're talking about subjective experience -- your unique nervous system experiences different things from every other unique nervous system. However, the species is the same so it's going to be mostly in common with other humans, and the outside reality our brains are interpreting is the same, so it's also going to be in common with most people. I don't understand the big to-do about this....Show more

Science fails to explain qualia, why?

~~~
1) Science is but one perspective.
The complete definition of anything, the complete 'thing in itself' (of which we each are but one real and true Perspective) can be defined/described as the sum-total of all Perspectives!

The First Law of Soul Dynamics;
"For every Perspective, there is an equal and opposite Perspective!" - Book of Fudd

"The complete Universe (or any feature) can be defined/described as the sum-total of all Perspectives!" - (op. cit.)

2) There really are no 'things', ultimately all is Mind! The more deeply any specific 'thing' is examined, one is invariably led to Mind/Conciousness!
Materialist philosophies are refuted and obsolete.
Qualia is about 'things' as if an ultimate state....Show more

I do not believe qualia exist....Show more
