The idea of modern science sharing characteristics with magic seems unlikely. But they are closer than we think. This week Trevor Phillips discusses the future of scientific method with Dr Joan Leach , Dr Marcus du Sautoy , Dr Serena Roney-Dougal and Professor Bernard Carr. Newtonian science's emphasis on measurement, experiment and proof seems increasingly ill-equipped to answer questions about the cosmos or parapsychology. Have we reached the point where a new system of investigation is needed, one that allows subjectivity - in the form of consciousness - into the scientific framework? Are scientists set to become alchemists once more?
