Quote by F. David Peat

On the one hand, our minds try to probe the ephemeral reality of the quantum world; on the other, we talk, think, and act in a language adapted for discussing trees, rocks, and automobiles -- as well as poetry and emotions.


On the one hand, our minds try to probe the ephemeral realit

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a disconnect between our attempts to understand the fleeting nature of the quantum world and the language we use to communicate and comprehend our everyday reality. Our minds explore the elusive aspects of quantum physics, which cannot be easily described in our conventional language designed to talk about tangible objects like trees and rocks. It highlights how our language and thought processes are rooted in our experiences with the physical world, making it challenging to fully grasp and articulate the complexities of the quantum realm.
