How Things Work – A Brief History of Reality: Part-3 "The Enigmatic Mystery" (PDF)

Part III – Transcending the Duality of Science & Religion: Science and religion both seek the truth about reality. One explores an objective reality recognized by the five senses as tangible, and therefore “real.” One explores a subjective reality of what exists beyond the five senses in the abstraction of human reason, which is eternal, and therefore even “more real.” Human beings are a combination of both these realities. With the revelation of Einstein’s theories of Relativity and the birth of Quantum Mechanics, the line between what is “physically real” as opposed to physically “not real” has virtually disappeared. A new abstraction, consciousness, is now becoming the main focus of that mystery. We are now beginning to understand that opposites, like waves and particles, are essentially two ways of looking at the same thing. That “thing” is the mystery. It is now becoming more and more apparent that the mystery science is seeking to understand is ultimately the same mystery
