Scientific Reductionism

You might have read that 'love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs,' but would it really be better explained as the behavior of a large aggregation of elementary particles and their quantum mechanical and electrodynamic properties?

Join Robert and Joe for a journey into the innerverse of complexity, reductionism and emergence.
