...generally recognized by the greatest thinkers. The English physicist, John Tyndall (1820- ), says : " The passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable."

...\Vith the former, they admit, physical science cannot deal. ' The passage,' says Professor Tyndall, ' from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable.' f'oi sciousness, they assert, is a function of the brain, as motion is a function of the muscles.
