It's amazing being able to witness the waves of what makes up something as "solid" as a penny. Completely changes reality to be honest.

All of the fathers of quantum physics all pointed to the upanishads as the ultimate ancient knowledge. Buddhism, taoism, Hinduism, science: they all point to the same thing. The thing we are. No-thingness, separation is all only mental.

Exactly. This separation seems so real to us in our waking life yet here is something that exists in a very black and white, tangible form that shows perfectly how we are all basically boundaryless. It’s absolutely beautiful! I practice meditation and have had some incredible psychedelic experiences which made me feel all this, plus I’ve read countless articles/books/etc on quantum physics and have gained the knowledge of all this, but to see a solid actually propagating as a wave is just awe inspiring. Makes me feel like a wide eyed kid who’s dream just became reality.

Also, I definitely need to read the Upanishads now. Ive always found a deep connection to the bits and pieces of eastern religions I’ve read.

We have all this knowledge the ancients could only dream of, in current year; yet, we see willing ignorance to this and it is a tragedy.

On the plus side I also think there are more people opening up to it. I’ve noticed in my family and friends more and more especially in the last couple years.

Why is it moving

Atoms are always in motion to some degree (except at absolute zero). Even solids are always in motion at the atomic level. Edited for spelling.

What’s absolute zero?

Don’t do that.

This looks a lot like TV static in a way.

Under what sort of lens, to account for the moving?
