Take it from Max

Max Plank:

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clearheaded science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such!
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. . . .
We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind
.
This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
