The crumbling of matter

Some interesting quotes about the nature of matter...


"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."


"We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up to now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future."


~ Max Planck, 1858-1947, the inventor of quantum theory.


In Christian Science, matter disappears entirely. Step by step, humanity and the physical sciences will come to this realization. It's already happening...


And another Planck quote, unrelated to the above topic, but that I could easily relate to as a seeker of Truth...

"New scientific ideas never spring from a communal body, however organized, but rather from the head of an individually inspired researcher who struggles with his problems in lonely thought and unites all his thought on one single point which is his whole world for the moment."

~ Max Planck

I can't thank you enough for this series of articles, Evan. They really help me realize the supremacy of Spirit. Much gratitude for this precious bread.

I had heard, and loved, these theories during college years before I came to Christian Science. Imagine my surprise when I found the same ideas being taken further in a religious book. I felt like the big bang theory had been discovered! Even more wonderful was the universal availability of the sacred truth. What a change from ancient creeds.
