Part 4/9:
Moving from spiritual philosophy to scientific inquiry, the principles of quantum physics reveal similar truths about the fabric of reality. In quantum mechanics, matter exists as both particles—discrete entities locateable in time and space—and waves—spread throughout the universe in every possible state at once.
The double slit experiment dramatically illustrates this duality. This experiment showed that when quantum particles are observed, they display particle-like behavior, occupying specific locations. Conversely, when unobserved, they exhibit wave-like properties, suggesting they are everywhere at once. This phenomenon challenges our conventional understanding of reality and highlights the transformative role of human consciousness in shaping what we perceive.
