“In atomic physics, the scientist cannot play the role of the detached observer. Instead, they become involved in the world they observe to the extent that they influence the observed objects' properties. This affecting outcome by observation is true for scientists and every human being. Observation affects the world we see. We are more than casual observers. Instead, we are active participants in a participatory universe.” — Rico Roho
