"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter"
What does he mean by this?

The beginning of the statement is the utmost basics of quantum theory and his work. Then, IMO, he's stating that the same fundamental forces which give rise to our Universe created our sentient mind which perceives them -- leading to some deduction by Planck that matter only truly exists because we exist within matter to observe it.

didn't he mean that god created that force?

He means the particular god you happened to be raised to believe in is real. Happy now?

>>7956458
Was he talking about the human mind which perceives everything or A god which created everything???

Who knows, it's just some philosophical wankery that has nothing to do with science. Don't worry about it.
