“'Participant' is the incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the 'observer' of classical theory, the man who stands safely behind the thick glass wall and watches what goes on without taking part. It can't be done, quantum mechanics says it...May the universe in some sense be 'brought into being' by the participation of those who participate?” MenMayDoneUniverseGivenBehindsWatchesHe ManTheoryWallGoes OnConceptsUnityGlassesStrikesThickQuantumParticipationMechanicObserversParticipantsQuantum Mechanics Author:John Archibald Wheeler

“String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I do believe the universe is consistent, and therefore I do believe that general relativity and quantum mechanics should be put together in a manner that makes sense.” ShouldBelieveTogetherUniverseTheoryCapacityMake SenseConsistentStringsQuantumMechanicRelativityQuantum MechanicsString TheoryGeneral Relativity Author:Brian Greene
