Proponents include Berkeley, Bishop of Cloyne, an Irish philosopher who advanced a theory he called immaterialism, later referred to as " subjective idealism ", contending that individuals can only know sensations and ideas of objects directly, not abstractions such as " matter ", and that ideas also depend upon being perceived for their very existence-esse est percipi ; " to be is to be perceived ".

He conducted research in particle physics and systems theory at the University of Paris ( 1966 – 1968 ), the University of California, Santa Cruz ( 1968 – 1970 ), the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center ( 1970 ), Imperial College, London ( 1971 – 1974 ), and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory ( 1975 – 1988 ).
