Letter: Space, time and sleeping non-quantum cats (2)

Published 12 November 2025

From Tony Watkins, Oldbury, West Midlands, UK

I agree with Vedral that space and time don’t exist, but I don’t believe we can explain reality in any meaningful way without particles because, for any sentient organism, reality is its understanding of itself and anything outside itself as perceived by its senses. It may be argued that atoms and subatomic particles are minute bundles of energy, but I see and feel solids, liquids, gases etc., not quantum fields or tables of “q-numbers”.
