23229 | Nature is wholly interconnected, and the tiniest change affects everything [Fichte] |
Full Idea: Nature is an interconnected whole; …you could shift no grain of sand from its spot without thereby, perhaps invisibly to your eyes, changing something in all parts of the immeasurable whole. | |
From: Johann Fichte (The Vocation of Man [1800], 1) | |
A reaction: Sounds like idealist daydreaming, but might it actually be true with respect to gravity? |
