Abstract: Abstract Quantum physics was born to describe the curious and common-sense denying micro-universe within the atom. Today, physicists tell us that it is actually the most accurate way to describe everything that exists, including ourselves. They tell us that we live in “a quantum world.” This world is made of energy, not “bits of matter,” and everything and everyone who exists in this world is actually an evolving pattern of dynamic energy. The quantum world is also made of relationships, and everything and everyone is in relationship with, is “entangled” with, everything and everyone else. This is “quantum holism.” The quantum world is indeterminate, and thus unpredictable, creatively “feeling” its way into the future through self-organization. It is a world where questions are more important than answers, and we people who ask those questions “co-authors of reality.” These and other key defining elements of the quantum world will be discussed in this chapter, and contrasted with the defining elements of the earlier, Newtonian physics and Newtonian world.
