Dr. Alyssa Ney (University of California, Davis) discusses physicalism, the view the world is the way physics says it is. “Physicalism is something that’s guided all my work,” Ney said. “You can state it really simply at first as the view that the world is the way physics says it is, but what I’m going to be trying to argue here is that that really simple characterization is not really going to work out.”
