Physics and Metaphysics.
John Polkinghorne and his book ‘ Quantum theory’. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Polkinghorne === . John Polkinghorne took epigraph for his book ‘ Quantum theory’ the Feynman’s thought : ‘ I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. ‘ Why? Because, he wrote: ‘ ,we do not understand the theory as fully as we should. We shall see in what follows that important interpretative issues remain unresolved. They will demand for their eventual settlement not only physical insight but also metaphysical decision ’. / preface/ ‘ Serious interpretative problems remain unresolved, and these are the subject of continuing dispute’ / page 40/ ‘ If the study of quantum physics teaches one anything, it is that the world is full of surprises’ / page 87 / ‘ Metaphysical criteria that the scientific community take very seriously in assessing the weight to put on a theory include: . . . .’ / page 88 / ‘Quantum theory is certainly strange and surprising, . . .’ / page92 / ‘ Wave / particle duality is a highly surprising and instructive phenomenon, . .’ / page 92 / ==. In my opinion John Polkinghorne was right writing what to understand and to solve the problems of the Universe: ‘ They will demand for their eventual settlement not only physical insight but also metaphysical decision ’. / preface / And, maybe, Aristotle was right separating the world and knowledge on two parts: Physics and Metaphysics. === . Somebody wrote: The science will purify the religion of the “dross”. I agree. ===========. Best wishes.
