"The atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts."
----Werner Heisenberg
"Anyone not shocked by quantum mechanics has not yet understood it."
---Niels Bohr
I just love quantum physics and mechanics because they remind me of the Koan that Sensei gave me and the quote I have written about and the incident in back SHACKS 'sit down down have a cup of tea, now your troubles begin, you will never see the world as others see it', There a few SHACKS which relate the event in more detail SHACKS 69 and 71 both in May 2017 the event itself was years back.
In my stay at a 'Station' in my forensic career I met several Quantum physicists and in my workshop and clinical careers and many of them were in shock and in the edition of 'The Tao of Physics' by Fritjof Capra he describes the 'mental breakdown' of some of the scientists in the early days of quantum 'stuff' and that he suggested studying and practicing meditation (the later editions of the book got too complicated)
and I came across several who had this 'blast' as they described and left them dazed and we formed a small group which I named 'SAM' sub atomic meditation, this seemed to help them 'come to terms' with things outside the box and deal with non logical academic mainstream at the time. Of course now they have had to formulate theories and such like and taken away the experience of 'beyond the mind and outside the box' and many have become arrogant in making the 'nothingness and mystery' of the quantum phenomena and using long words and explanations to cover the loss of intellectual and logical understanding.
To me the Quantum 'stuff'' is a koan and should remain so and like the Sensei's in the Zen tradition not accept a logical explanation until one has a non logical 'blast' and it shakes one to the core and forever takes wanting to intellectualise out of the 'equation' and sit down and have a cup of tea and the world will never be the same again and live with the peace of 'no mind'
