A neuroscientist lost a 25-year bet to a philosopher—and it may be one of the most revealing failures in modern science. In 1998, Christof Koch bet David Chalmers that within 25 years, neuroscience would identify the precise brain mechanisms responsible for consciousness. Research teams around the world launched ambitious experiments to track and measure conscious experience in the brain. The deadline came—and the mystery remained.

In this fascinating episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack the implications of that failed wager. Why can't the most advanced minds in science explain subjective experience? And what did the ancient yogis know that modern labs still don't?

From Vedic insights to modern mind-benders, this episode blends laughter, science, and timeless wisdom in a way only Wisdom of the Sages can.
