:04:03
I think the more you look
at quantum physics...
:04:06
the more mysterious
and wondrous it becomes.
:04:09
Quantum physics...
:04:12
very succinctly speaking...
:04:16
is a physics of possibilities.
:04:20
These are questions--
:04:22
These are addressing questions, um,
of how the world feels to us...
:04:27
of-of whether there's a difference
between the way the world feels to us...
:04:30
and the way it really is.
:04:33
Have you ever thought about
what thoughts are made of?
:04:36
I think some of the things
we're seeing with the children today...
:04:40
is a sign that the culture
is in the wrong paradigm...
:04:43
and not appreciating
the power of thought.
:04:47
Every age, every generation
has its built-in assumptions--
:04:49
That the world is flat,
or that the world is round, et cetera.
:04:53
There are hundreds
of hidden assumptions...
:04:55
things we take for granted,
that may or may not be true.
:04:58
Of course, in the vast majority of cases,
historically, these things aren't true.
:05:02
So presumably,
if history is any guide...
:05:05
much about what we take for granted
about the world simply isn't true.
:05:10
But we're locked into these precepts
without even knowing it oftentimes.
:05:14
That's a paradigm.
:05:17
Modern materialism...
:05:19
strips people of the need
to feel responsible...
:05:23
and often enough,
so does religion.
:05:27
But I think if you take quantum mechanics
seriously enough...
:05:30
it puts the responsibility
squarely in your lap.
:05:33
And it doesn't give answers
that are clear-cut...
:05:39
and comforting.
:05:41
It says, yes, the world is
a very big place. It's very mysterious.
:05:46
Mechanism is not the answer, but I'm not
gonna tell you what the answer is...
:05:52
because you're old enough
to decide for yourself.
:05:58
Is everyone a mystery?
