I know what I need to do now. I have a better sense of direction and feel like I now know where to direct my energy in my quest for reality and my truth. I have spun my wheels and chased my tail around many times over. Although it seemed like a fruitless exercise, it must have been a means to end because now I have a sense of direction.
My exploration of physics was amusing in that I asked physicists many questions about the nature of reality and ended up null–they didn’t know and didn’t want to know. All they had was a desire to calculate a math formula and solid, pragmatic proof. What I was looking for could not be observed or measured by current scientific methods. It was clear that I was barking up the wrong tree, eating another man’s cheerios or pulling the wrong beer out of the fridge.
My quest needs to be defined and fully explored not within physics rather in metaphysics since what I’m looking for is outside the realm of observed experience. So this is very brief list of subjects that I need to pour myself into to find the answers I’m looking for. Fear not its size, although I didn’t master quantum mechanics in a weekend, I do feel like I have a layman’s understanding for not being a physicist. Let’s say that I know why Schroedinger’s cat is scared and not.
