The Convergence of Science and Spirituality (Part One) | Donald Hoffman & Rupert Spira

In the latest Rupert Spira Podcast episode Simon Mundie moderates a fascinating discussion on science and spirituality with Rupert and cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman. The conversation includes topics such as: Why is the concept of space-time is doomed? How close are we to a theory of everything? Does the perennial philosophy need an upgrade? Can maths describe reality? Why does the one localise? and Is science finally catching up with what the great spiritual traditions have been telling us for centuries?
