Galileo's error was to base science on Mathematics considering only what things do and not what they are. Panpsychism is the view that consciousness is a fundamental feature of physical reality. It's not materialism or dualism. Everything has consciousness at its own level. The problem to solve is how this basic consciousness combines as simpler things combine in larger things. Other books I have reviewed show how trees communicate for example. The What the Bleep do We Know movie show that water responds to messages. It seems like Goff is on the right track.
