But those images are just โ that's stunning.
Well, listen, the physicists that give them their due, they are the branch of science which is actually fully aware of the drop-off where the mystery begins โ knowledge ends and the mystery begins.
They could not explain this stuff when it happened.
It actually unsettled those guys, Schrodinger and Einstein and Heisenberg and all.
It really quite unsettled them, right?
whoa, what are we unfolding here?
And are we sure we want to unfold this, uncover this?
And once Sir Arthur Eddington said this wonderful thing.
He was asked about these sort of central mysteries of quantum physics and the universe, and he said...
something that we don't know is doing we know not what.
So it's like, yeah, there's some humility right there, right?
And at its core, quantum physics, there's a mystery
at the core of quantum physics, equivalent to the mystery at the core of religion.
At the end of the day, religion is an act of faith, right?
And you can't answer these questions, right, rationally.
And at the end of the day, the physicists themselves will say, look, we just don't know.
