The quantum theory of the world from "summary" of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli
In the deep heart of things, in the heart of the world, at the heart of what we find in space and time, there is something astoundingly strange: the quantum theory of the world. This theory tells us that all things are made of quanta. It tells us that the quanta are tiny grains of reality, born out of nothing. They are not a part of the world; they are the world itself. These quanta are not things; they are not entities. They are only tendencies to exist. They are the world as it appears when we do not look at it, when we do not ask questions about it. They are the invisible threads that weave the texture of the world. The quantum theory of the world reveals to us a reality that is not made of things, but of interactions. It tells us that the world is a network of relations. It tells us that the particles we see are not things in themselves, but the results of the interactions between things we do not see. In the world of the quantum theory, there are no things, only interactions. There are no objects, only processes. There are no particles, only relationships. The reality we see is but a thin veil over a deeper reality, a reality that is made of interactions, of relations, of processes. In the quantum theory of the world, the world is not made of things, but of events. It is a world in constant change, in constant becoming. It is a world that is never still, never at rest. It is a world that is alive, that is vibrant, that is dynamic. The quantum theory of the world challenges our intuitions, our beliefs, our assumptions about reality. It tells us that the world is not what it seems, that the world is not what we think it is. It tells us that the world is a mystery, a puzzle, a riddle waiting to be solved.
