The metaphysics of quantum physics
18.05.2021 20:33 Content
Quantum mechanics is a precise mathematical theory of quantum phenomena. It is the cornerstone of physical sciences and the foundation of many modern technologies. At the same time, of all natural sciences, quantum physics is often invoked in declarations about the possible ordering of the world, and is connected to many paradoxical, unfortuately often even absurd and misleading statements. During the lecture we will attempt to separate the smoke from the fire and sketch out as clearly as possible the epistemological framework in which the laws quantum mechanics have been formulated and empirically tested. The empirically uncontested interpretation of causal indeterminism leads to ontological models (for example, "hidden variables"), which are compatible with a large range of metaphysical concepts. This conclusion cuts two ways: on the one hand, it significantly weakens the reductionist, materialist positions and serves as a rich source for philosophical ideas; on the other hand

of Physics, Mathematics and Optometry endeavored to separate smoke from fire to view as clearly as possible the epistemological framework in which the laws of quantum mechanics were formulated. The empirically observed quantum intedeterminacy leads to ontological models (e.g., "hidden variables"), which are compatible with a large number of metaphysical conceptions. This conclusion is jarring in two ways: one the one hand, it seriously weakens the reductionist position of materialism and serves as a rich inspiration for many philosophical speculations; on the other hand it provokes many unfounded appeals to quantum physics in discussions of spiritual topics. The lecture took place on May 26, 2021 and is also available on the LU TF Facebook page . Third public lecture on Youtube. " Revelation as a lightning bolt from the sky ".
