Quantum weirdness forces scientists to debate philosophy

The Universe is the totality of existential potential.
Potential resolves through entropy (as distribution of potential over negative potential) to state in the moment of now (the only moment which truly exists.) This is the “manifestation of existential being.”
What you’ve gotten wrong: Finite state is not the smallest particulate of the Universe, state is the momentary resolve of discrete potentials.
Potential when stably bound is matter (mass as potential at “rest”), and otherwise radiant (distributing its potentials uncertainly over infinite negative potential.)
What surprises everyone: space and time emerges from universal potential rather than the other way around.
