“The discovery of discontinuity, exemplified by the energy quantum or the radioactivity, means the end of causality and consequently of the trinity of principles.” This was the opinion of Carl Gustav Jung, the psychologist, decades after the birth of modern quantum physics. Here, the trinity of principles means space, time and causality, ideas which have governed classical physics, according to Jung.
