Einstein objected to quantum mechanics by questioning whether unobserved objects truly lack properties, asking if the moon is not there when he is not looking and whether observation creates reality for quantum particles.

The Copenhagen interpretation, associated with Niels Bohr and developed by his group of young geniuses including Heisenberg and Pauli, argued that the atomic world cannot be pictured intuitively and that quantum mechanics can only provide predictions about measurement results, not descriptions of reality itself.

Different disciplines—biologists, economists, statisticians, philosophers—have independently converged on collective intelligence principles because it's a fundamental solution to complexity that appears across domains.

Science advances one funeral at a time, meaning paradigm shifts require old guard to die rather than change their minds; this is why intellectual humility requires continually reassessing your own conclusions.

The foundational assumption of modern science is 'the order of nature'—the belief that nature exhibits a mathematical/logical order; this order can also be understood as an aesthetic order.
