Carlo Rovelli – All Reality is Interaction

I just love the Carlo Rovelli podcast from OnBeing https://onbeing.org/programs/carlo-rovelli-all-reality-is-interaction/ – I have listened to it three times already! I especially love the idea below:

“And I think that we don’t understand the world as made by stones, by things. We understand a world made by kisses, or things like kisses, happenings. In other words, the elementary quantities or ingredients for describing the world are not things which remain through time. They are just limited in space and time. And I think which remain through time are processes that repeat themselves. A stone is just a common flickering of electrons and things and stuff, which remains together not even forever, of course, because it goes into powder for a long time, for a while. So, to better understand the world, I think we shouldn’t reduce it to things. We should reduce it to a happening, and the happenings are always between different systems, always relations. Or always like a kiss, which is something that happens between two persons.”
