Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.
Interpretation
Quantum physics suggests that everything in the universe is interconnected.
This quote by Erwin SchrΓΆdinger reflects the revolutionary understanding brought by quantum physics, highlighting that at a fundamental level, all particles and entities in the universe are deeply connected. This oneness implies that the distinctions we make between separate objects are largely artificial, revealing a profound unity underlying the diverse phenomena we observe in nature.
In practice
This quote can be used in a speech about scientific advancements in understanding our universe.
A careful analysis of the process of observation in atomic physics has shown that the subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and the subsequent measurement.
I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is deficient. It gives a lot of factual information, puts all our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and eternity.
There is no kind of framework within which we can find consciousness in the plural; this is simply something we construct because of the temporal plurality of individuals, but it is a false construction... The only solution to this conflict insofar as any is available to us at all lies in the ancient wisdom of the Upanishad.
Vedanta teaches that consciousness is singular, all happenings are played out in one universal consciousness and there is no multiplicity of selves.
Consciousness is a singular for which there is no plural.
What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space.
Overall, the human brain is the most complex object known in the universe - known, that is, to itself.
It is true that some off-label drug use is based on very unsettled science and has more risks. But medicine - and not just cancer care - involves lots of hard choices. And the more serious the disorder, often the more likely it is that for every right and wrong treatment choice there are many other practical decisions painted in shades of gray.
Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is, the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings, the chance to glimpse things never seen before, the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.
It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
Everything was so new - the whole idea of going into space was new and daring. There were no textbooks, so we had to write them.
Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line.
