Stop Needing Certainty: What Taoism and Modern Physics Say About Living Without Knowing

VIDEO DESCRIPTION (YouTube, English) Stop Needing Certainty: What Taoism and Modern Physics Really Say About Living Without Knowing What Comes Next In 1947, one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century put the Yin-Yang symbol on his coat of arms. In this video, we look honestly at what modern physics and Taoism actually have in common, where the comparison breaks down, and — most importantly — how to live with the uncertainty that keeps so many of us up at night. You'll hear the story of Niels Bohr and complementarity, the idea behind the uncertainty principle, the famous 1975 book The Tao of Physics and the fair criticisms of it, and why popular "quantum" claims about manifesting or healing aren't supported by physics. Then we turn it into a practical Taoist framework for living without certainty, and close with a five-minute guided meditation on resting in not knowing.
