View submission: Quantum mechanics suggests reality isn’t made of standalone objects but exists only in relations, transforming our understanding of the universe. | An interview with Carlo Rovelli on quantum mechanics, white holes and the relational universe.

Physicists basically discovered that the nature of existence is what religion has been describing all along. The study of the external is a much longer path to discover what can be studied internally.

You need to be more precise. Religion, or more accurately, religions describe many things, plenty of them contradictory. So what do you mean? You can't internally study the interactions of subatomic particles or the behaviours of stars and galaxies.

Longer, but it leads reliably to the same place every time. Studying only the internal can reach any conclusion you want.

And yet here you are, seeking external validation that this "longer path" truly confirms what you knew all along and thus losing precious time that could be spent on meditation/praying/stargazing/flagellation...
