Breaking through conventional scientific paradigms

This post's title is adopted from a very nice article by Natalie Teplitsky. Was going through excerpts of "Quantum Questions" by Ken Wilber. The opinions of the "Mystical" twentieth century physicists on the relation between physics and mysticism were presented. The theorists included Schrodinger, Einstein, Heisenberg, Eddignton, James jean, Bohr, De Broglie. All these people felt that physics neither corroborated nor opposed mysticism. According to them, trying to draw the conclusions of science and extending it to prove/disprove religion was sheer nonsense. In light of that, i find it relevant to quote Sir Jean:

" The essential fact is simply that all the pictures which science now draws of nature, and which alone seem capable of according with observational fact, are mathematical pictures...They are nothing more than pictures-fictions if you like, if by fiction you mean that science is not yet in contact with ultimate reality. Many would hold that from the broad philosophical standpoint, the outstanding achievement of twentieth-century physics is not the theory of relativity with its welding together of space and time, or the theory of quanta with its present apparent negation of the laws of caustion, or the dissection of the atom with the resultant discovery that things are not what they seem: it is the general recognition that we are not yet in contact with ultimate reality. We are still imprisoned in our cave, with our backs to the light, and can only watch the shadows on the wall"
