Episode notes
Physics & Metaphysics Split Politically
- Physics and metaphysics separated largely for political reasons, not because they contradict each other.
- Alchemy originally combined science and spirit, serving as the origin of modern science.
Four Tenets of Newtonian Science
- Newtonian science rests on determinism, separation, reductionism, and realism.
- These principles view reality as predictable, separate, reducible to parts, and materialistic.
Theresa's Shift to Quantum Physics
- Theresa struggled with classical physics at first but found quantum physics more intuitive and exciting.
- She integrated spirituality to bridge science and spirit without losing scientific rigor.
