hi augustin
i think it is fair to say quantum is recognized as established physics, and has not been questioned as such for almost 100 years; at least since bohr in the 1930s.
in any rate i lean on it, and relativity, heavily in my recent book Space and Time in African Cinema. I also depend on Karen Barad for my approach to the issue of the inter-relationship among things, what i call entr'acte.
i use that concept to argue, much as you do, that the energy and matter of the universe is interconnected; and that much as the observers in a quantum physics experiment cannot be objectively separated from what they observe, so too is it the case in cinema that the film being observed and the viewers, as well as filmmakers, are engaged in entr'action continually. in the process, what is being created is not only the film we experience, but time and space as being created by that entr'action.
if we want to find religious beliefs that correspond t these notions, it wouldn't be hard, as you are doing. i consider those beliefs metaphorical expressions of the concept of the inter-reactions of the world.

Quantum physics which is said to be non sensical by physicists explains very well the behaviour of matter at the atomic level and its the heart ofvthe digital economy

In the same vein isese might ,by the adherents of other faith be non sensical and embarsssing but at a fundamental level it impacts very positively and patently on those who practice it
Before the arrival of foreigners on yotuba soil the yorubas had igblo oba .the kings forest.igbo dudu the dangerious forest,igbo olorun. Gods forest but yorubas were told these were all nonsese so the forest were cut down for furniture and construction one of the major reasons for climate crisis today the wòrld should listen to the yorubas who have a propensity for livin in armony with nature
Ìsese calls for return to the spirit it calls for spiritual rejuvenation. Spiritual rebirth. It is pragmatism in usa .empiricism in Europe but spirituality in Yoruba world the spirit dying or dead then the environment decays along with it.the spirit dead or ding gives rise to political decay.
,social decay,economic ,decay,infrastructural decay and more so the need to return to the spirit. For the rebirth and the re awakening of the yoruba
