Quantum physics questions our understanding in several ways, calling into question, for example, the principles of non-contradiction and logical causality which say that for something to exist it needs a prior cause. In the same way, current understandings of materiality are also questioned—including, in philosophy, participating in a whole branch of studies on new materialities.

When we don’t comprehend something, we begin a journey of seeking and creating knowledge. In this regard, science and religion will have connections with each other. On this topic, we invited physicist, philosopher and Jesuit priest Bruno Nobre, author, with Pedro Lind, of the book Two Fingers of Conversation About Inside Things—A Believer, an Atheist and Truth as Provocation, to address the relationship between quantum physics and spirituality, science and faith, reflecting on how quantum concepts intertwine with questions of our consciousness, how they summon the universe of the religious and spiritual experience.
