Max Planck Quote: Science Meets Spirituality – Matter and Spirit in Harmony

„Gentlemen, as a physicist who has dedicated his entire life to the sober pursuit of science, to the exploration of matter, I am certainly free from the suspicion of being taken for an idle dreamer.
And so, after my investigations into the atom, I declare this: There is no such thing as matter in itself.

All matter comes into being and persists only through a force—a force that sets the particles of the atom into vibration and binds them together as the minutest solar system of the cosmos. Yet, since neither an intelligent nor an eternal force exists within the vast expanse of the universe—for humanity has failed to devise the long-sought perpetuum mobile—we must posit behind this force a conscious, intelligent spirit. This spirit is the primal source of all matter. It is not the visible, transient matter that constitutes the real, the true, the actual—for without the spirit, matter would not exist at all—but rather the invisible, immortal spirit that is the ultimate truth! Yet, since spirit alone cannot exist either, and every spirit belongs to a being, we are compelled to assume the existence of spiritual beings. And since these beings cannot arise from themselves but must be created, I do not shy away from naming this mysterious creator as all civilized peoples of the earth have called Him in earlier millennia: God! Thus, the physicist, tasked with the study of matter, steps from the realm of the material into the realm of the spirit. And with that, our work concludes, and we must entrust our inquiry to the hands of philosophy.“

Inspirational quote by Max Planck about the connection between matter, spirit, and God

Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (1858–1947) was a German physicist who founded quantum theory, revolutionizing physics fundamentally. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 for his work. Besides his physical research, Planck turned to philosophical boundary questions in his final decades, firmly affirming the existence of God and regarding natural science as a striving for empirical knowledge of God.

"Basically, we must now say, there is only spirit. Matter is, so to speak, the slag of the spiritual. In our limited human perception, we regard this slag—as we can grasp it with our hands—as far more important than the spiritually alive. But in fact, it must be recognized: Ultimately, there is nothing that exists, nothing that exists by itself. There is only change, transformation, processes. Against this background, we can say: At every moment, the world is newly created. Paradigm of the living!" Hans-Peter Dürr

"Basically, matter does not really exist. At least not in the usual sense. There is only a network of relationships, constant change, vitality. We find it difficult to imagine this. Primarily, only context exists, the connecting without a material basis. We could also call it spirit. Something that we can only experience spontaneously and cannot grasp. Matter and energy appear only secondarily – in a way like congealed, frozen spirit. According to Albert Einstein, matter is just a diluted form of energy. However, its foundation is not a further refined energy, but something completely different, namely vitality. We can compare it to software in a computer." Hans-Peter Dürr

"The mind-stuff of the world is, of course, something more general than our individual conscious minds.... It is difficult for the matter-of-fact physicist to accept the view that the substratum of everything is of mental character. But no one can deny that mind is the first and most direct thing in our experience, and all else is remote inference." Arthur Eddington

"The stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the Universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter… we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter." James Hopwood Jeans
