Quantum Reality
From Tao of Physics
by Fritjof Capra
“Physicists are coming to see that all their theories of natural phenomena (”laws”) are creations of the human mind; properties of our conceptual map of reality rather than reality itself, and that scientific theories and models are approximations of the true nature of things.
“All theories and laws are mutable, destined to be replaced by more accurate laws when the theories are improved. Step by step, as theories improve and increase in accuracy, we will ‘bootstrap’ toward (but maybe never reach) the ideal answers. The hypothesis, in that it does not rest on or within a framework, is considered unscientific (it leads beyond science).
(The world-view of the Eastern mystics shares with bootstrap not only an emphasis on the mutual interrelationship and self-consistency of all phenomena, but also the denial of fundamental constituents of matter).”
No wonder I find Buddhism so close to my own sense of ‘what is’.
