“In an ironic twist the Cartesian view paved the way to the development of quantum mechanics, which is now pointing the way out of this fragmentation and back to the idea of unity expressed in the early Eastern and Greek philosophies.”

“The complicated instruments of experimental physics peered deep into the submicroscopic world; a world far removed from the macroscopic world of our sensory environment. This subatomic world is so far removed from our senses we never investigate the phenomena themselves but always their consequences. We never see or hear the investigated phenomena directly. We see computer readouts, spots on photographic plates, or Geiger counter clicks.”

“As we penetrate deeper and deeper, we not only have to abandon ordinary language but also long-held concepts that no longer apply to this world of the infinitely small. Now, physicists are dealing with nonsensory experience reality. Like mystics, they have to face the paradoxical aspects of this experience.”

“The divergence from the Newtonian model did not come abruptly but began with changes in the nineteenth century. The first was the discovery and investigation of magnetic phenomena, which could not be described appropriately by the mechanical model as it involved a new type of force. This study of subtler concepts of fields without reference to material bodies was a profound change.”

“In 1926 Werner Heisenberg developed his now famous uncertainty principle. [The original name used by Heisenberg was the “unsharpness” principle (Unsharfeprinzip). Later the name was mistranslated and popularized as the “uncertainty” principle (Unsicherheisrelation), from Elementary Quantum Chemistry, Second Edition by Frank L. Pilar, page 19.] It's a purely mathematical concept. It applies anywhere that there are waveforms. The Unsharpness Principle originates not from Quantum Mechanics, but rather from Classical Wave mechanics.”

“The uncertainty principle had profound implications that 100 years later are still not fully appreciated. The uncertainty principle also signaled an end to the dream of the previous scientific model of the universe. How can one predict future events if one cannot even measure the present state of the universe precisely?”

“The mechanistic worldview of classical physics had been based on the notion of solid bodies moving in empty space. This notion is still valid in the region called the “zone of middle dimensions,” in the realm of our daily experience where classical physics continues to be valid. Yet modern physics forces us to go beyond the middle dimension.”

“Quantum physics indicates undetected communication between the observer and the observed. Because observation affects particles, there must be something between the observer and the particle where information relays back and forth.”

“Study quantum physics, and you will soon reach the inescapable conclusion that so-called “physical particles” behave in such an unusual way because they are not physical. At the sub-atomic level, matter doesn’t exist at definite places. Instead, it shows “tendencies to exist.”

“In quantum theory, these tendencies are expressed as probabilities and are associated with mathematical quantities which take the form of waves. This mathematical expression is why particles can be waves at the same time. They are not “real” three-dimensional waves like sound or water waves. They are “PROBABILITY WAVES,” abstract mathematical quantities. All laws of quantum physics are expressed in terms of these probabilities.”
