Let’s have some fun with a deep topic. Let’s take a trip to where science might someday meet the soul.

First, a disclaimer: this is not me marshaling evidence to argue for or against a particular scientific or spiritual point of view. Rather, let’s call this an exercise in disciplined imagining. Speculation, really, but tethered, where possible, to what science already knows.

To ease into the subject, I’m going to meander a bit. I invite you to come along for the ride.
