“I think the answer of course is that space and time are not these hard external objects. Again we're, scientists have been building from one side of nature (physics) without considering the other side (life in consciousness). Neither side exists without the other. They cannot be divorced from one another or else there is no reality.” ThinkingHas BeensHardRealityCoursesSidesSpaceAnswersConsciousnessObjectsBuildingScientistPhysicsConsideringTime And SpaceDivorced Author:Robert Lanza
“Certainly we do not need quantum mechanics for macroscopic objects, which are well described by classical physics - this is the reason why quantum mechanics seems so foreign to our everyday existence.” NeedsWellsReasonSeemsExistenceObjectsAspectEverydayPhysicsReason WhyQuantumMechanicQuantum Mechanics Author:Alain Aspect
“Now these two questions Does there exist a material reality distinct from sensible appearances? and What is the nature of reality? do not have their source in experimental method, which is acquainted only with sensible appearances and can discover nothing beyond them. The resolution of these questions transcends the methods used by physics; it is the object of metaphysics. Therefore, if the aim of physical theories is to explain experimental laws, theoretical physics is not an autonomous science; it is subordinate to metaphysics.” IfsDoeTwoRealityLawUsedObjectsMaterialsTheorySourceAimMethodAppearancePhysicsResolutionSensibleMetaphysicsTheoreticalSubordinatesAutonomousTheoretical Physics Author:Pierre Duhem

“Quantum physics presents a new and exciting worldview that challenges old concepts, such as deterministic trajectories of motion and causal continuity. If initial conditions do not forever determine an object's motion, if instead, every time we observe, there is a new beginning, then the world is creative at the base level.” IfsWorldChallengesLevelsForeverCreativeConditionsObjectsConceptsExcitingDeterminePhysicsQuantumNew BeginningsInitialsContinuityWorldviewQuantum PhysicsTrajectory Book:The Self-Aware Universe Source: The Self-Aware Universe
“The main thesis of mind-physics holds that consciousness and matter are both manifestations of a more primary entity, and that the processes of manifestation exhibit equivalent invariances for both consciousness and matter. When the program for mind-physics is complete the subject-object dichotomy of modal logic, the polarity of concept-percept, and the antagonism between morality and technology will all come to an end. Then the non-repeatable experiment will be understood to be more primary than the traditional repeatable experiment.” MindEndsMatterProcessConsciousnessTechnologySubjectsObjectsMoralityUnderstoodConceptsProgramLogicPhysicsExperimentsTraditionalPrimariesManifestationEntityExhibitsThesisDichotomyAntagonismPolarity Author:Paul Laffoley
“It is natural that a man should consider the work of his hands or his brain to be useful and important. Therefore nobody will object to an ardent experimentalist boasting of his measurements and rather looking down on the 'paper and ink' physics of his theoretical friend, who on his part is proud of his lofty ideas and despises the dirty fingers of the other.

“Black holes are very exotic objects. Technically, a black hole puts a huge amount of mass inside of zero volume.
