World-renowned German scientist and Nobel Prize winner Max Planck (1858-1907) and one of the founding fathers of quantum theory, once made a remarkable comment about the structure of matter that has been widely quoted as follows:
"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as the result of my research about 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." See
