The astonishing hypothesis is a concept developed by Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA, that the experiences of sentient beings are nothing more than the result of electrical-chemical reactions in the brain. Under the astonishing hypothesis, all basic emotions are chemically derived and may combine and comingle to form more complex feelings. "You're nothing but a pack of neurons," Crick supposed Lewis Carroll would have put it.
