What if reality isn’t made of things at all?In this episode, we move beyond the search for fundamental building blocks and begin to question the assumption behind it. From atoms to fields, physics has long tried to locate the “things” that make up reality. But what if that search is misguided from the start?Instead, we explore a different possibility: that reality is not composed of objects, but of relationships—a continuous process of interaction, where what we call “things” are only temporary stabilisations within a deeper flow.Drawing on ideas from quantum physics, process philosophy, and contemporary metaphysics, this episode reframes how we think about identity, structure, and existence itself. If everything is relational, then even concepts like self, boundary, and separation begin to shift in meaning.This is not just a scientific question—it’s a philosophical one. And it may change how we understand reality, consciousness, and our place within it. So join me as I attempt to unpick the infinites of ‘what is’.🔍 Topics covered* What is reality made of?* The limits of reductionism* Process philosophy and relational ontology* Why “things” may not be fundamental* The role of relationships in defining identity* Consciousness as relational, not isolatedFull Series Podcast, or Full Series Films, click here: http://linktr.ee/Infinitenow

Does Consciousness Collapse the Wave?

Does the Wave Collapse at all?

Do Particles even exist?

These are not merely the concerns of a few fringe physicists; these are the questions that nature has forced upon us as we attempt to learn what both mind and matter are.

In this episode, we investigate four real and significant interpretations of quantum mechanics, thereby giving us a detailed look into, not only how theorists are grappling with the current dilemmas, but indeed, what all the fuss is about—and finally, what does it all say about consciousness?

So join me as I attempt to unpick the infinites of ‘what is’.
