with our knowledge of the elementary particles.” “It is wrong,” Bohr once
said, “to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics
concerns what we can say about nature.” 19

Fred Alan Wolf, one of the guest physicists in the documentary
film “What the Bleep Do We Know?” described this same fact:

What makes up things are not more things. But what makes up things are

ideas, concepts, information... 20
Following the most fascinating and sensitive experiments that

the human mind could devise over the course of 80 years, there
are now no views opposed to quantum physics, which has been
decisively and scientifically proven. No objections can even be suggest-
ed against the conclusions reached by the experiments performed. Quantum theory

has been tested in hundreds of possible different ways devised by scien-
tists. It has earned the Nobel Prize for a number of scientists, and
21
is continuing to do so.
Matter, the most fundamental concept of Newtonian physics

and once regarded unconditionally as the absolute truth, has been
eliminated. Materialists, supporters of the old belief that matter was
the sole and definitive building block of existence, were really con-
fused by the fact of “the lack of matter” suggested by quantum

physics. They now have to explain all the laws of physics within the
sphere of metaphysics.
The shock that this inflicted on materialists in the early 20 century
th
was far greater than can be expressed in these lines. But the quantum

physicists Bryce DeWitt and Neill Graham describe it:

No development of modern science has had a more profound impact on hu-
man thinking than the advent of quantum theory. Wrenched out of centuries-old thought patterns,
physicists of a generation ago found themselves compelled to embrace a new metaphysics. The distress
which this reorientation caused continues to the present day. Basically physicists have suffered a severe

loss; their hold on reality. 22

The wave-like properties of the electron and

the scientific proof

The most significant experiment revealing this interesting nature of the sub-atomic particles
was the double-slit experiment. This was conducted to see how light and electrons both behave like
waves, and how they both manifest this surprising feature to the same extent.
In order to gain a better understanding of the subject, assume that this experiment was con-
ducted with grains of sand rather than electrons.

First, bring a source of sand grains, such as a sand-blower, behind a wall. Let there be two slits in
the wall. And let there be on the other side of the wall a screen to detect the particles passing through
these slits. Each sand grain impelled by the blower travels through one slit and strikes the screen.

Once a large number of grains have passed through the slits and hit the screen, we see that two
clusters of points have appeared on the screen; one made up of grains passing through the first slit,
and the other of those passing through the second. Events have transpired as we expected.
Now, imagine that we have conducted a similar experiment in a different way. Let us fill the ex-
perimental environment between the source and the screen with a pool of water, and use a vibrat-
