An expert in the field.I think he would know.
Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, began his journey in a world convinced that physics had little left to discover. Yet his insight into the quantum nature of energy shattered that certainty and opened the door to modern physics.
In his later reflections, he pointed beyond particles and equations to the presence of a conscious Mind behind all matter. He knew the atom itself was not ultimate reality, but a vibration held together by something deeper.
Planck’s words invite us to remember that what appears solid is woven from the unseen, and that consciousness is not a product of matter but its source.
From Max Planck’s 1944 lecture “Das Wesen der Materie” (The Nature of Matter), delivered in Florence, Italy. The key passage is often cited in physics and philosophy circles, and is translated as:
“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.”
