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 documen-
tary 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 deci-
sively and scientifically proven. No objections can even be sug-
gested against the conclusions reached by the experiments per-
formed. Quantum theory has been tested in hundreds of possible
21
different ways devised by scientists. It has earned the Nobel Prize
for a number of scientists, and 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
confused 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 20th
century 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 human 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
