let's say, you know, just for the sake of understanding it, let's say we have a cylinder, right, a three-dimensional cylinder. And then you shine a light on that cylinder and it casts a shadow on a screen and you might see a circle. But if you shine a light on that cylinder and it casts a light on another screen, you're going to see a square or a rectangle.

And, you know, then you have the scientists arguing which one's correct. Is it the square or the rectangle or is it the circle? But you have to kind of shift to this higher dimensional view to see that, oh, it's a cylinder. It's both, right? And so the quantum view is very much this is both. And there's so many more possibilities here.

Whereas in our sort of explicate order way of looking at things, we only see this or that. And we think they're We think they're contradictory to each other. We think they're separate from each other, but they're not. And in order to see that they're one whole thing, we have to shift to a higher dimensional perspective and reality to see what the whole is.

It's kind of like the six scientists who are blindfolded are trying to identify what's an elephant. One has the trunk and one has the tail and one has a leg and they're all kind of experiencing different things, but none of them are seeing the whole elephant.

You know, the founding fathers of quantum mechanics, you had two generations, really. You had like the Einstein kind of older generation who were a part of discovering like, oh, electrons are not just particles, they're also waves. But then you had the younger generation, like with Niels Bohr and Heisenberg and Schrodinger, like they were kind of a younger generation coming through.

And they were like very excited and ready to run with this. And there was some during those days when it was first being discovered, like between 1900 and 1920, it's like the major period of discovery of quantum physics. They had some amazing debates and philosophical conversations, and a lot of them believed in spirit and even Einstein.

He believed he was very mystical in his own way, but he was still in his personal view, he was a bit of a classicist to his deathbed. feeling like there had to be an elegant, singular formula that could explain everything. And, you know, he's famously known for saying God doesn't play dice with the universe.
