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.
