Physics and Metaphysics
~ Albert Einstein ~

When an old woman sits on a young man’s lap
To him a minute seems like an hour
When a young woman sits on an old man’s lap
To him an hour seems like a minute
That’s "relativity"!

Everything is energy. The whole universe is energy. The social base of our perception should be the physical certainty that energy is all there is. A mighty effort should be made to guide us to perceive energy as energy. Then we would have both alternatives at our fingertips.

Your consciousness affects the behavior of subatomic particles
Particles move backwards as well as forwards in time and appear in all possible places at once
The universe splits into parallel universes in which all possible events occur

*Quantum Theory Even More Simplified*
Question: "Is an electron a wave or a particle?"
Answer: "Yes"
Question: "Is the electron here or is it there?"
Answer: "Yes"
Question: "Which came first; the chicken or the egg?"
Answer: "Yes"

Einstein said that if quantum mechanics were correct then the world would be crazy. Einstein was right; the world is crazy.

Confused?
So Are The Physicists!
.Einstein's theory of general relativity and the theory of quantum mechanics,
...a.k.a.: the theory about how eveything bigger than an atom works and the theory about how everything smaller than an atom works...,
are two widely accepted and experimentally verified theories of physics. There's only one problem. They contradict each other!
The theory of general relativity deals with physics on the macro scale of massive gravitational fields warping the space-time continuum. Quantum mechanics deals with the physics of sub-atomic particles and the interactions of matter and energy on extremely small scales.
The crux of the problem is that general relativity describes a smooth continuum of space-time but quantum physics describes distortions of space-time. Thus, these well tested theories mutually exclude one another.
To resolve this conflict a new and as yet experimentally untested unifying theory called "m-theory" or "String Theory" has been advanced.
String theory attempts to unify the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics by suggesting that the fundamental constituents of reality are small strings, vibrating at different frequencies and like vibrating violin strings producing notes, these vibrating stings produce particles such as electrons and photons, which do not exist at any one given fixed point and that split and absorb one another forming different particles.
The problem is that the string theory predicts phenomena that have never been verified and by the seeming unification of the two original theories it does not mean that the two older theories are a constituent part of this new theory. This new theory may be based on entirely different principles. The new theory still has to satisfy the requirement that it is convergent with the older, proven theories in the areas in which the old theories were tested.

Every time the physicists asked nature a question in an atomic experiment, nature answered with a paradox, and the more they tried to clarify the situation, the sharper the paradoxes became. It took them a long time to accept the fact that these paradoxes belong to the intrinsic structure of atomic physics, and to realize that they arise whenever one attempts to describe atomic events in the traditional terms of physics.

Etymologically, the term “metaphysics” is a misnomer. The word derives from the Greek words (metá), meaning "beyond" or "after" and (physiká), meaning "physical". It therefore means "what comes after physics”.
In its common usage,“metaphysics” has become a label for any belief in an otherworldly realm or reality that, in one way or another, is commonly associated with forms of religion and spirituality. The result being that the common impression is put forward that such subjects as astrology or psychic phenomena, for example, are “beyond” the laws of physics and science in general. The tragic result has been that not only the public, but students of these subjects have been exposed to spiritual and religious charlatans who claim divinely inspired knowledge which their students or followers may gain only through a non-questioning adherence to their pronouncements.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
As scientific theories have advanced they have not proven to be in opposition to what are seen as “supernatural” phenomena, but more often than not validate the phenomena in empirical and scientifically experimental ways. (see: "Numerology")
Einstein’s theory of relativity does not negate the theory of astrological influence and quantum mechanic does not negate the theory of psychic phenomena, instead they do just the opposite. Modern scientific theories actually open new avenues to explore in attempting to unify what are labeled the “natural” and the “supernatural” realms.
Physicists are often very open to the concept of unifying the two realms, as Fritjof Capra explains in his book “The Tao of Physics”. Unfortunately, many in the metaphysical community are not. They are not happy, after centuries of being able to amass a fortune by having you believe that they were the only ones who could connect you directly with the Almighty, to have you discover that science may be able to give you his toll-free phone number.
The message being that before surrendering yourself to be led unquestioning by some guru or messiah*, give yourself and your ability to think and to reason, the opportunity to find your own Way. You will always value more that which you have discovered through you own empirical epiphany.

*In the laboratory there are no fustian ranks, no brummagem aristocracies; the domain of Science is a republic, and all its citizens are brothers and equals, its princes of Monaco and its stonemasons of Cromarty meeting, barren of man-made gauds and meretricious decorations, upon the one majestic level!
~ Mark Twain - "Three Thousand Years among the Microbes" ~
