Our very act of observation is what crystallizes the difference between the realm of mere possibility and the realm of actualized reality. One line of thought here, and in many other works that address this topic, is that we are not separate from the world that we observe. Addressing the weird way that subatomic particles behave, it says: “The new physics sounds very much like old Eastern mysticism.” The outlook can be neatly summarized in 10 words. ![]() ![]() ![]() They reenact a typical day at the zoo at Amos’s small, cozy home, drink tea, and offer him comfort and companionship while he is sick. ![]() When Amos comes down with a cold, his friends wonder where he is and decide to venture out of the zoo to visit him.
