Quantum Physics Thus Reveals A Basic Oneness

Whence Came I, Whither Go I? Science Cannot Tell Us A Word About Why Music Delights Us, Of Why And How An Old Song Can Move Us To Tears. Science Is Reticent Too When It Is A Question Of The Great Unity – The One Of Parmenides – Of Which We All Somehow Form Part, To Which We Belong. The Most Popular Name For It In Our Time Is God – With A Capital ‘g’. Whence Come I And Whither Go I? That Is The Great Unfathomable Question, The Same For Every One Of Us. Science Has No Answer To It.

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.

The World Is Given To Me Only Once, Not One Existing And One Perceived. Subject And Object Are Only One.

We Do Not Belong To This Material World That Science Constructs For Us. We Are Not In It; We Are Outside. We Are Only Spectators. The Reason Why We Believe That We Are In It, That We Belong To The Picture, Is That Our Bodies Are In The Picture. Our Bodies Belong To It. Not Only My Own Body, But Those Of My Friends, Also Of My Dog And Cat And Horse, And Of All The Other People And Animals. And This Is My Only Means Of Communicating With Them.

If All This Damned Quantum Jumping Were Really Here To Stay, I Should Be Sorry, I Should Be Sorry I Ever Got Involved With Quantum Theory.
