You mean immaterial. Science learns from observation (instead of from being told,
or imagining.) Many people in the twentieth century, which is now ending, have
believed you can only observe material things.
In fact we ourselves and the things we care most about, are immaterial. For example,
people file lawsuits because we are mean to them, not because we are eighty percent
water. If you only value material things, you will pretend that a lot of things you
observe about us do not count.
Twentieth century psychology is a good example of what happens when people
ignore the most important things about us: 250 different theories, some of which
say consciousness does not exist. Eternal life is for people who still exist after
twentieth
century science has said they don't.
My source for the 250 theories is a commencement address Kurt Vonnegut
gave some years ago (not at MIT). He also said any theory is absurd that says the
scientist does not exist. I've lost the article.

Science.
