Pyramids, Consciousness and the Limits of Science

I’ve recently watched a great simulation of how the human hearing mechanism operates. The air vibrations generated by some disturbance eventually reach our eardrum. The ensuing vibrations of the drum perturb a small bone called the hammer which starts to move up and down.
