The quantum metaphorical conceptualization of the world is derived from Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and Bohr’s complementarity principle formulated in the first half of the past century. Both refer to the subatomic world and the understanding of matter and energy. The first postulates that one cannot determine the position and the momentum of a subatomic particle simultaneously. While one can be determined the other eludes and vice versa. The second is referred to as the wave-particle duality. It implies that matter and energy have two complementary aspects, i. e. particles or waves. Whether we consider God and man made in his likeness or the double helix of the DNA with its two strands or the millennia old Chinese yin-yang principle everywhere we find complementary realities that can more fully explain life: physical, biological, metaphysical, philosophical etc.
