Quote by Max Planck
As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. 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.
Summary
This quote, attributed to Max Planck, highlights his belief that matter does not exist independently but rather originates and exists due to the presence of a force that binds atoms together. As a scientist focused on the study of matter, he recognizes that beneath this fundamental force lies the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. Planck's assertion implies the interconnectedness between the physical world and a higher intelligence, suggesting the existence of a deeper understanding and order beyond what science alone can explain.
