Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

Max Planck

Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (1858-1947) was a German theoretical physicist. He originated quantum theory, which revolutionized our understanding of the behavior of fundamental particles.

I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.

Religion and Natural Science
Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

There can never be any real opposition between religion and science; for the one is the complement of the other.
