Quantum Physics Thus Reveals A Basic Oneness

This Life Of Yours Which You Are Living Is Not Merely A Piece Of This Entire Existence, But In A Certain Sense The Whole; Only This Whole Is Not So Constituted That It Can Be Surveyed In One Single Glance. This, As We Know, Is What The Brahmins Express In That Sacred, Mystic Formula Which Is Yet Really So Simple And So Clear; Tat Tvam Asi, This Is You. Or, Again, In Such Words As "i Am In The East And The West, I Am Above And Below, I Am This Entire World."

Why Are Atoms So Small? ... Many Examples Have Been Devised To Bring This Fact Home To An Audience, None Of Them More Impressive Than The One Used By Lord Kelvin: Suppose That You Could Mark The Molecules In A Glass Of Water, Then Pour The Contents Of The Glass Into The Ocean And Stir The Latter Thoroughly So As To Distribute The Marked Molecules Uniformly Throughout The Seven Seas; If You Then Took A Glass Of Water Anywhere Out Of The Ocean, You Would Find In It About A Hundred Of Your Marked Molecules.

If We Were Bees, Ants, Or Lacedaemonian| Warriors, To Whom Personal Fear Does Not Exist And Cowardice Is The Most Shameful Thing In The World, Warring Would Go On Forever. But Luckily We Are Only Men — And Cowards.

In An Honest Search For Knowledge, You Quite Often Have To Abide By Ignorance For An Indefinite Period.

The Mathematical Framework Of Quantum Theory Has Passed Countless Successful Tests And Is Now Universally Accepted As A Consistent And Accurate Description Of All Atomic Phenomena.
