People ask me, “Isn’t quantum physics only applicable to the movement of elementary particles and their not-so-complex conglomerates such as atoms and molecules of the submicroscopic world? Many establishment physicists tell us it is so. What is your response to that?”

Good question. My response is this, “Follow the logic carefully; it is a long string.” The word quantum etymologically means quantity. It was originally designed to designate a discrete quantity when the physicist Max Plank realized that energy, like matter, is also built from discrete elementary particle-like objects. But only when the great Einstein generalized this idea to suggest that light, already determined by experimental data to be a wave, also additionally had a particle nature, quantum physics began to demonstrate its ability to overthrow our classical scientific worldview based on Newtonian physics—scientific materialism. This wave particle duality of objects of our experience is what defines quantum physics. Not that quantum physics is the physics of the micro, and Newton’s physics reigns over the macro. There is only one physics. Instead we say, quantum movement is everywhere. However, in the domain of the macro, quantum movement becomes subdued, so Newtonian physics approximately describes the movement of macro objects, causing confusion.
