I’m really fascinated by the uncertainty principle. I love the concept that we affect something just by observing it. It makes sense to me, but I can see how it may be very frustrating to many western scientists. Embracing the idea that we could all be impacting each other just by looking, thinking, or feeling is very hard to “quantify” using western scientific methods, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. I think in terms of causality, we may need to stretch our understanding beyond what we can “test” for in order to understand what can be a cause and an effect.
Yes, the universe is so weird. Quantum entanglement? What’s up with that? Why did the Big Bang happen? What is the universe expanding into? Why can we explain so much with numbers (what made it so perfect) and why are there things that happen that make the numbers fall apart?
Good point about the difficulty quantifying observation impacts. What's your thought about the importance of the clinical gaze in TCM? Just throwing that out there. Also, I like the theory of Quantum Entanglement as well. Especially because it was Einstein's way of showing that Quantum Theory wasn't yet complete. Here's a great article covering the topic... https://aeon.co/ideas/you-thought-quantum-mechanics-was-weird-check-out-entangled-time
