Relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology — the empirical edge where the classical billiard-ball universe dissolves into observer-dependent fields, non-locality, and a single underlying substrate.
Core beliefs
- 01Mass-energy equivalence (E=mc²).
- 02Wave-particle duality and the observer's role in measurement.
- 03Quantum entanglement: non-local correlation between distant systems.
- 04Spacetime curvature as gravity; possibly emergent from deeper information.
Practices
- Experiment, replication, falsification
- Mathematical modelling
- Peer review
- Computational simulation
Key figures
- · Albert Einstein
- · Niels Bohr
- · Werner Heisenberg
- · David Bohm
- · Carlo Rovelli
Bridges to other traditions
- Non-locality ↔ Indra's Net ↔ interbeing
- Observer effect ↔ consciousness traditions
