“The earlier concept of a universe made up of physical particles interacting according to fixed laws is no longer tenable. It is implicit in present findings that action rather than matter is basic… This is good news, for it is no longer appropriate to think of the universe as a gradually subsiding agitation of billiard balls.

Young
