I Learned That Maybe They Weren’t So Crazy

A Reflection from Physics, Consciousness, and Architecture

Conciencia de nuestra existencia

The Thin Line Between Intuition and Scientific Formulation

For a long time, speaking about energy, vibration, or consciousness seemed like territory reserved for mystics or philosophers. However, twentieth-century physics radically transformed our understanding of matter.

What we call a “solid object” is not, in fact, solid.

Quantum physics describes matter as organized energy fields, excitations within fundamental fields. An atom is composed almost entirely of empty space. Electrons do not orbit like small rigid spheres; they exist as probability distributions described by Schrödinger’s equation.

This is not metaphor.It is a mathematically validated experimental model.

When someone states that “matter is condensed energy,” they are not quoting poetry; they are describing, in simplified terms, the equivalence formulated by Einstein.

Mass and energy are interchangeable.

Nikola Tesla and Energetic Intuition

Tesla envisioned global wireless energy transmission decades before electrical infrastructure was fully developed. Although many of his proposals were not entirely viable, his intuition about electromagnetic fields aligned with Maxwell’s physics.

It was not madness.It was conceptual anticipation.

Einstein and Relativity

When Einstein proposed that space-time curves in the presence of mass, it sounded like fantasy. Yet today, general relativity explains phenomena measured with extreme precision: gravitational lensing, time dilation, planetary orbits.

What once seemed absurd became verifiable mathematical structure.

Galileo and the Conflict with the Mental Framework.

Galileo was not rejected for lack of evidence; he was rejected because his evidence shattered the dominant conceptual framework.

Here a recurring pattern appears:Disruptive vision is not initially refuted due to lack of data, but because it threatens cultural structures.

Matter, Energy, and Architecture.

Here the reflection ceases to be historical and becomes architectural.

As architects, we work with concrete, steel, glass, stone—measurable, structural, calculable elements.

But at a deeper physical level:

Concrete is an organized crystalline structure.Steel is a metallic lattice of bonded atoms.Glass is an amorphous matrix.

Everything is composed of electromagnetic interactions.

What we perceive as “solidity” is, in reality, repulsion between electronic fields.We do not truly touch matter.We interact with fields.

This does not eliminate engineering.It deepens it.

A escala real, un átomo es 99.999% espacio vacío (no es vacio, es energía que mantiene su estructura), constituido por un núcleo denso y diminuto que contiene protones y neutrones, rodeado por una "nube" de electrones a gran distancia. Si el núcleo fuera una canica en el centro de un estadio de fútbol, los electrones serían mosquitos diminutos orbitando en las gradas más altas.

Consciousness: The Most Delicate Point

Here we must be rigorous.

Physics has not demonstrated that consciousness “creates” reality. What it has demonstrated is that:

The observer influences measurement in quantum systems.Quantum mechanics introduces the measurement problem.There are open interpretations (Copenhagen, many-worlds, etc.).

But no scientific proof claims that the human mind collapses macroscopic reality at will.

Separating rigorous physics from mystical exaggeration is essential.

However, one thing is true:The human being is the only known entity capable of reflecting on the fact of existing.

That radically transforms how we inhabit space.

El experimento de la doble rendija, realizado inicialmente por Thomas Young en 1801, demuestra la dualidad onda-partícula de la luz y la materia. Al disparar fotones o electrones a través de dos rendijas, se crea un patrón de interferencia en una pantalla, actuando como ondas, pero al ser observadas se comporta como partículas.

Architecture + Physics + Consciousness

This is where your conceptual line is built.

If:

Matter is organized energy,Space is curvature,Perception is neural interpretation,And consciousness is reflective experience,

Then architecture is not merely construction.

It is the organization of energy in relation to consciousness.

Designing is not only calculating loads.It is designing how consciousness experiences fields of light, proportion, scale, and matter.

That positions your architecture on a deeper plane:

You do not build objects.You build organized perceptual experiences.

La energía vibrando se refiere al movimiento oscilatorio constante de partículas, átomos y moléculas que compone toda la materia, actuando como la base de la existencia física y los campos energéticos. Esta vibración determina la frecuencia energética, donde frecuencias altas se asocian con bienestar y frecuencias bajas con estrés o enfermedad.

The True Expansion

To say “maybe they weren’t so crazy” is not surrendering to irrationality.

It is recognizing that:

History shows that many disruptive ideas precede their formal validation.

But it also implies discipline: Not everything that sounds profound is true.

Structure is what separates vision from delusion.

When intuition and mathematics meet, humanity advances.

And perhaps the architecture of the future will not be merely technological, but conscious.
