Es gibt nur eins, was auf Dauer teurer ist als Bildung: Keine Bildung.

There is only one thing that is more expensive in the long run than education: no education.

" On the deepest level, much deeper than atoms or quantums, is NOTHING at all. The crazy thing is that this "NOTHING" creates EVERYTHING from moment to moment.Complete universe is created moment by moment, constantly. All comes out of this "NOTHING", comes from "EMPTINESS", which outside any usual understanding.We are part of an endless " New-creation" in every moment."

Prof. Hans - Peter Dürr

"[T]here is a universal flux that cannot be defined explicitly but which can be known only implicitly, as indicated by the explicitly definable forms and shapes, some stable and some unstable, that can be abstracted from the universal flux. In this flow, mind and matter are not separate substances. Rather, they are different aspects of our whole and unbroken movement."

David Bohm

*****

"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."

Max Planck

*****

" What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing

but shapes and variations in the structure of space."

Erwin Schrödinger

*****

"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know his thoughts.

The rest are details."

"I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one? "

"We know nothing about [God, the world] at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren.

Possibly we shall know a little more than we do now. but the real nature of things, that we shall never know, never."

Albert Einstein

*****

"The existing scientific concepts cover always only a very limited part of reality, and the other part that has not yet been understood is infinite. Whenever we proceed from the known into the unknown we may hope to understand, but we may have to learn at the same time a new meaning of the word 'understanding'"

Werner Heisenberg

Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

I think everything is real, but it seems to be in a different location by the time we perceive it. It's not exact; it's perfect, but our perception of it as such is just an interpretation of what has already passed.

"Our drive toward unity obliges us to identify the world order of science with the God of religion. There is, however, this difference: for the religious man, God stands at the beginning; for the scientist, at the end, of all thinking. We must believe to act ethically, and we must act; society could not survive if its members went about without proven moral precepts or waited until acquiring wisdom to decide how to behave. Therefore each individual must strive to develop both sides of his nature, the religious and the scientific, which complete and complement one another: It is the steady, ongoing, never-slackening fight against skepticism and dogmatism, against unbelief and superstition, which religion and science wage together! The directing watchword in this struggle runs from the remotest past to the distant future: 'On to God!'"

— Max Planck

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.

Quiz time!⏱️ What's the smallest possible unit of length?🤔 Nanometer? Femtometer?.. Well, if this was your guess, we're afraid you're wrong.😅 Ever heard of the Planck length?🙄 That's the tiniest scale of nature, the size of the universe in Planck Era. Swipe through this post ➡️ to fathom how small this scale is! Join us on our series - 'Big Bang Theory'‼️ to know more such fascinating facts about the cosmos 🌠

I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness. - Max Planck

Auch eine Enttäuschung, wenn sie nur gründlich und endgültig ist, bedeutet einen Schritt vorwärts.

Even disappointment, if it is thorough and final, represents a step forward.

That we do not construct the external world to suit our own ends in the pursuit of science, but that vice versa the external world forces itself upon our recognition with its own elemental power, is a point which ought to be categorically asserted again and again... From the fact that in studying the happenings of nature we strive to eliminate the contingent and accidental and to come fully to what is essential and necessary, it is clear that we always look for the basic thing behind the dependent thing, for what is absolute behind what is relative, for the reality behind the appearance and for what abides behind what is transitory... this is characteristic not only of physical science but of all science.
