Reddit reviews Quantum Questions: Mystical Writings of the World's Great Physicists

Heisenberg, Shrödinger, Einstein, de Brogli, Jeans, Planck, Pauli and Eddington all wrote about their thoughts on how science relates to religion and mysticism. ^source

That's weird - many of the greatest physicists somehow managed to somehow think about religion. Its almost like Dawkins is presenting an over-simplified perspective and some people are blindly following it without thinking about it.

>. Schrodinger didn’t think that a cat could be both alive and dead, he thought that the copanhagen interpretation was flawed.

Erwin Schroedinger was a mystic, who had a copy of The Upanishads in his bedside table, believed Atman is Brahman and wrote extensively on related subjects. He indeed thought the CI was flawed, but most people who point this out apparently have no idea what else he believed.

>The universe doesn’t give a fuck about your decisions

Schroedinger would not have agreed with you.

Quantum Questions is also a great book. It shows that all physicists involved in the discovery of quantum physics and relativity, including Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, and Max Planck among others, were all deeply mystic and had a lot of doubts about life and consciousness.

This source is pretty random, but it has some of the same quotes I have written down, "Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrödinger regularly read Vedic texts. Heisenberg stated, “Quantum theory will not look ridiculous to people who have read Vedanta.” It looks pretty in depth, and of course you can track the quotes from it down to other places.

If you want some primary sources, here's two books, one with quotes from many of them, and one which is just schrodinger's book. Though neither of these books really talk about physics that often per say, but rather are them describing their worldview in general. Unfortunately for some of them its not made obvious in their actual published works what the line is between qm, and why it led them to think this, since obviously being scientists they didn't publically talk about anything too often that they thought would make people see their work in a mystical light. So when they did talk about it they would try to distance it from their physics work. But from the modern benefit of hindsight it becomes more obvious why their physics led them to this. Schrodinger's section is easily the highlight of the book, so you might just want to track down his own book instead to get the entire thing rather than a small slice.

Yup, QM is supernatural. You shouldn't be surprised, given the mystical writings of its founders. What an age to be alive! 😮

By veridical I mean verified.
