Abstract
Despite the historic advances that have been made in understanding such fundamental questions as the origins of the physical realm and how and why we have evolved, there are equally perplexing paradoxes that are unexplained by our conventional way of thinking about “reality.” No greater an example is there than the failure to reconcile quantum mechanics with our perception of reality. The consensus is that quantum mechanics is the ultimate way to understand physics, but it does not coincide with how we experience daily life.
Space and Time are the modes by which we think, not the conditions in which we live.
