the participatory universe
    #22160192 - 08/29/15 11:01 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

For the most part we are neither observing detachedly from the outside, nor creating freely from the inside, but rather participating.


Quote:


"We had this old idea, that there was a universe out there, and here is man, the observer, safely protected from the universe by a six-inch slab of plate glass. Now we learn from the quantum world that even to observe so miniscule an object as an electron we have to shatter that plate glass; we have to reach in there.... So the old word observer simply has to be crossed off the books, and we must put in the new word participator. In this way we've come to realize that the universe is a participatory universe."

--John Archibald Wheeler

More than participator. Whatever you experience is your very identity. This is such a wonderful thing to actually "get".
