Quote by Ken Wilber
Both the old and new physics were dealing with shadow-symbols, but the new physics was forced to be aware of that fact - forced to be aware that it was dealing with shadows and illusions, not reality.
Summary
This quote suggests that both the old and new physics worked with symbolic representations of reality. However, the new physics acknowledges that these symbols are merely shadows and illusions, not an accurate portrayal of actuality. It implies that the new physics recognizes the limitations of its models and theories, promoting an awareness and acceptance of the inherent subjectivity in understanding the true nature of the physical world.
