“Quantum theory thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe. It shows that we cannot decompose the world into independently existing smallest units. As we penetrate into matter, nature does not show us any isolated "building blocks," but rather appears as a complicated web of relations between the various parts of the whole. These relations always include the observer in an essential way. The human observer constitute the final link in the chain of observational processes, and the properties of any atomic object can be understood only in terms of the object's interaction with the observer.”

Fritjof Capra (born February 1, 1939) is an Austrian-born American physicist, systems theorist, and ecological thinker. He is best known for his 1975 book 'The Tao of Physics', which explores parallels between modern physics and Eastern mysticism. Capra advocates for deep ecology and systems thinking, integrating science, society, and ecology. His works, including 'The Turning Point' and 'The Web of Life', have influenced global environmental movements and interdisciplinary studies. He co-founded the Center for Ecoliteracy in Berkeley, California, promoting sustainable education. Capra's ideas have sparked both acclaim and criticism, but he remains a key figure in paradigm shift discourse. more
