(WHO IS CARVER MEAD?). This phenomenal human being has struck firsts in a ridiculous number of places, overturned assumptions, created companies, rethought physics, and challenged thinking itself. https://lnkd.in/esgUKXu View in LinkedIn

ANOTHER FASCINATING WORLD. "People couldn’t imagine the world being as interesting as it is, partly because some big egos got in the way." (Carver Mead). https://lnkd.in/e3tKuJa View in LinkedIn

OUT OF GAS. "Our view of science, that got us this far, is keeping us from going further." (Carver Mead). https://lnkd.in/e3tKuJa View in LinkedIn

BOGGED IN DOGMA. "We have been living with misconceptions and gobbledygook, of thought processes not allowed to go forward." (Carver Mead). https://lnkd.in/e3tKuJa View in LinkedIn

FIXED ASSUMPTIONS. "Accepted constants such as the speed of light need to be re-examined." (Carver Mead). https://lnkd.in/e3tKuJa View in LinkedIn

THE BLIND MAN. "The very concepts and ways of thinking that have led to progress in the past are often the source of blind spots that prevent progress into the future." (Carver Mead). https://lnkd.in/e-rWkXA View in LinkedIn

BINDING SILENCE. "The most insidious property of the world view at any point in time is that it involves assumptions that are not stated." (Carver Mead). https://lnkd.in/e-rWkXA View in LinkedIn

THE HEART OF MATTER. "The quantum world is a world of waves not particles. If you take a pure quantum system -- the electrons in a superconducting magnet, or the atoms in a laser -- they are all in phase with one another, and they demonstrate the wave nature of matter on a large scale. Then you can see quite visibly what matter is down at its heart." (Carver Mead). https://lnkd.in/eCP4RPW View in LinkedIn

WORD THICKET. "We are all prisoners of the language we have created to develop our understanding to its present state." (Carver Mead). https://lnkd.in/e-rWkXA View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM MECHANICS. "It describes particles, atoms and molecules but gives way to ordinary classical physics on the macroscopic scales of pears, people and planets. Somewhere between molecules and pears lies a boundary where the strangeness of quantum behavior ends and the familiarity of classical physics begins." Or, everything is waves. https://lnkd.in/eh_xkKg View in LinkedIn
