Sir James Jeans, a chemist, wrote that previously the theory of the universe was so mechanical that the mind of a Newton, Bach, or Michaelangelo differed only in its complexity from a printing press, a whistle, or a steam-saw. Thus it was believed that a machine could eventually be built to reproduce all the thoughts and emotions of any human being. Sir James proposed, however, that instead of viewing the universe as a great machine, maybe we should view it as a great mind. In the Twentieth Century, physics has taken a few steps through that door. Many celebrated physicists now regard the universe as an expression of consciousness acting through form.
Intuition often perceives when sense and intellect fail.
Heisenberg recalls conversations with Niels Bohr regarding these paradoxes and the frustration caused by the failure of classical theory to explain the phenomena observed. In other words, what is observed as a phenomena on the physical plane is the effect of an inner intelligent cause. Final understanding can never be obtained by what can be measured on the physical plane. That understanding depends on one's state of consciousness. Einstein proposed that there is no place in the new physics for matter and the field.
