The boundaries between science and philosophy are only an illusion We used to separate science and metaphysics but twentieth-century physics changed everything The world no longer seems like a mechanical machine with well-defined laws Instead we are confronted with a reality where consciousness the observer and physical phenomena are interwoven into a coherent whole Science answers the how but only philosophy and metaphysics allow us to ask the deeper why It is only by integrating both views that we begin to understand not only the universe but also our place in it
