Heinz R. Pagels

“We are living in a time of a new Copernican revolution—a revolution in our understanding of the origin and nature of the universe as a whole.”

“This new physics suggests that the world is not a fixed, objective reality, but is constantly being created by our acts of observation.”

“A common sense interpretation of the world has no place in quantum mechanics.”

“The path to the gates of quantum reality is the act of measurement.”

“The universe is a single multiform energetic unfolding of matter, mind, intelligence and life.”

“The capacity to doubt is the greatest human virtue.”

“The visible world is the invisible organization of energy.”

“Imagination is the single most important asset of a scientist.”

“Science is not the enemy of humanity but one of its deepest expressions.”

“The modern physicist is a reluctant mystic.”

“The universe is a story that we are just beginning to learn how to read.”

“Science offers the boldest and grandest possible vision of the world.”
