    Challenges→Humans will never be able to explain the psychophysical link between mind and brain

    Science has repeatedly developed non-perceptual concepts (e.g., quantum superposition, spacetime curvature) that transcend spatial intuition yet successfully explain physical phenomena.

    Key Terms

    Non-perceptual concepts(contrasted with things we can perceive)
    Ideas about things we can't directly see, hear, touch, taste, or smell with our senses, even though they're real and useful.
    Quantum superposition(as an example of how quantum mechanics allows computers to process information in exponentially more ways)
    A quantum physics phenomenon where a particle can exist in multiple states or locations at the same time until it's measured.
    Spatial intuition(as the type of experience being analyzed)
    Our direct, immediate sense of how space works—like understanding distance, direction, and position without having to think it through logically.
    Transcend(metaphysics and ethics)
    Go beyond or rise above something; in this case, moral principles that exist independent of human-made rules.

    spacetime curvature(General relativity)
    The geometric quantity that, in general relativity, replaces the classical notion of strength of gravitational force, manifested for example in tidal effects
