The Quantum Age is not new and revolutionary. Those resisting it are simply old fashioned. It’s been around a looong time.
For instance…
The first double-slit experiment, which discovered the wave-particle duality, as well as deconstructed one of the primary pillars of material realism, that of strong objectivity, was performed in 1801 by Thomas Young.
Yet some people still think that consciousness doesn’t affect “things out there.” But it does.
Max Planck, considered the Father of Quantum Physics, lived from 1858 to 1947. By 1931 he was asserting the primacy of consciousness:
"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. "
Niels Bohr, the same person who conceptualized the solar system arrangement of the atom, hammered out with Werner Heisenberg what is still considered the primary conception of quantum physics, the Copenhagen Interpretation. They did this over the years 1925-1927.
Albert Einstein was concerning himself with entanglement and nonlocality - designing with his colleagues the “Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen Experiment” - in 1935.
For all the marvels is still shows, the Quantum Age is not new and revolutionary. Those resisting it are simply old fashioned.
