Nature is not a collection of solitary, permanent objects

[BidenPresident]

From book review of, Helgoland: Making Sense of the Quantum Revolution

"Rovelli offers a tour through the shaky and convoluted terrain of quantum phenomena, which he argues are fundamentally “relational.” Nature, he writes, is not a collection of solitary, permanent objects and other substances; rather, Nature is fundamentally made of relations between quantities. A quantity conveys information (has meaning) only in relation to another quantity, never by itself."

"Physics, writes Rovelli, “is always a first-person description of reality,” not a “description of things in the third person.” Later, he continues, “There is no way of seeing reality that is not dependent on a perspective — no point of view that is absolute and universal.”
