First, what is metaphysics. It has nothing to do with physics in the modern sense. Metaphysics is outside of physics. Natural scientists therefore often smile at it because it speaks of a world they do not know. I try here to break exactly this view.

Metaphysics speaks of the fundamental things. What is the origin of the universe? What are the properties of this origin? What is the basis of our consciousness? What is truth, and can we know it? These questions are generally considered unscientific and therefore unimportant. And yet, the questions of meaning, God and consciousness are formative. Our life is directed and points in the direction of our goal. This goal is not scientific, but metaphysical. We reach out for the true, the good and the beautiful. We are looking for meaning. These things are not found in matter, but in the interpretation of matter. They are psychological states and, I maintain, these are the most important questions in your life. Your life is determined more by your feeling of meaningfulness than by the more precise knowledge of the basic physical laws.
