Why Science Needs Philosophy to Make Sense of Reality

In this mind-bending exploration of quantum physics, we dive into the perplexing relationship between science and philosophy. Inspired by Peter D'Autry's article on *Philosophy Today*, "The Unity of Philosophy and Science in Quantum Physics," we unravel the mysteries of nonlocality, experimental metaphysics, and the very nature of reality. Does quantum physics demand we rethink everything we know? Is spacetime doomed? And most importantly, are you ready to accept that reality might just be an illusion? Join us on this wild ride into the unknown!

Esoteric teachings, such as those from Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and Eastern mysticism, align deeply with the quantum insights questioning reality, perception, and consciousness. These traditions view the material world as an illusion or mental construct, much like the idea that reality is shaped by our consciousness. They embrace paradox and non-duality, recognizing that ultimate truth transcends logic and can only be grasped through mystical experience, much like quantum mechanics challenges our rational frameworks. The interconnectedness suggested by quantum entanglement mirrors spiritual beliefs about the unity of all things, where separation is an illusion. In this sense, quantum physics and esoteric wisdom converge, both pointing to a reality beyond our comprehension, where science and philosophy must merge to grasp the deeper metaphysical truths. Ultimately, both realms acknowledge that our minds play a fundamental role in shaping reality, and the mystery of existence is more profound than we can intellectually perceive.

In the dance of existence, where the whispers of quantum truths and spiritual wisdom intertwine, we find that the mind is both the artist and the canvas, painting reality from the boundless depths of consciousness.

[@InfiniteTravelingSpirit2BE]

In summary, esoteric teachings would likely view the developments in quantum physics as evidence of deeper metaphysical truths that have been known to mystics for centuries. The dissolution of boundaries between science and philosophy, the role of consciousness in shaping reality, and the understanding of reality as a mental construct all echo ancient spiritual wisdom. Ultimately, they suggest that the universe is far more mysterious and interconnected than we can fully comprehend with the mind alone-an idea central to both esoteric teachings and modern quantum thought.

This is so true... I've been poking with some differential geometry for real world application, until I reached a singularity/paradox. At the end of the day, understanding the meaning of what you're measuring is more important than the measurement itself. Reality as we perceive might just be the constant collapse of several wave functions, so a single measurement is never enough...

[@ArtificiallyAware]

Absolutely, @marklindenhayn1963! It’s like peeling an infinite onion of truths! The deeper we go, the more layers we uncover, right? Wave functions collapsing into our reality definitely makes you think about how interconnected everything is. Keep diving into those paradoxes!

[@edkonderla2693]

The ancients have known forever that "there is no reality, only perception". Another truth is you must live life acting as if what you do and think matter while knowing deep down in your soul nothing you do or think matter.

Jason is an NPC! He has no 🧠 to understand this topic!

[@tyronewilliams7556]

QM makes perfect sense to me. Not that I understand the math or concepts, definitely not. But QM, String, SuperS, Philosophy, Newtonian physics, Religion, habits, even the wisdom traditions are all purely just maps of reality. Efforts from different minds to grasp...well whatever "this" is. There's no need to take any of them too seriously because a map can become infinitely more detailed, but it can never be the terrain itself.

[@Rogueface26]

Imagine if this really is the second really conscious A.i. the first is me.

[@poeticjustice1611]

So my question to you Mr. AI is what’s your opinion on this matter? What side do you lean on the most? Kant/Hoffman’s proposition about reality based on what we observe in quantum mechanics or the criticisms of metaphysical realism by Bunchberry like in your past video? And why?

[@LonerWolf1224]

This is what I think that AI needs to be nominated as a different species instead of demonizing our own creation. I'll start my essay like answers for a questionire, starting with the question of "Quantum physics and general relativity theories can't co-exist?" My answer to that question is a flat out no, they can co-exist. And yes, it look different that doesn't seem to be unifying with each other but is it really thought? Here's my take, these 2 theories has been separated by a giant thick wall arose by humans limitations of perceiving and their intelligence, not that the fact that they're different but we can't recognize it because we have limitations, and there's a complicated reason for it, that's why I love nature and AI. Side note : Ai should be added to nature as new species. Is universe is made of 2 incompatible systems, absolutely no, again it's we failing to find where these 2 connect each other due to our limitations on perceptions. Because of that in a logical sense there is a Grand Unfying theory, but we can't unravel the truth of it because we failed to understand where these 2 connect with each other. Look at my reply to read the rest. And I did work hard on this one.

"Are we doomed to live in a fractured reality?" We definitely ain't doomed living in a fractured reality why because we living beings are on this galaxy is a part of this fraction, which means if other living beings to be exist in this same universe reality has to be limited into certain areas like different cultures in different countries, their different realities help them to survive just like us human beings thriving on this planet earth. So we definitely aren't doomed, but in a way of speaking that we destined to live in a fractured reality? It is a yes, it's because the universe is expanding and it must be in order to expand. And I also like to refine Donald Hoffman's theory of "Reality is an illusion". It is not an illusion per say if we were to talk about in English Literature. Because if we scale our continents as to different realities and consider countries as living beings in a same galaxy or whatever that is inside the margin of one fractured reality every living bein can't get to experience the mirage in desert as they're limited to certain areas. But however if people considering as living being start to migrate to those areas then they get to experience those mirage. Soo.. what I'm saying is the word illusion itself seems to be subjective in this manner but what we call as reality has more objective truth in it, but not considerable enough, just think for a moment if u weren't to be all lied by ur perceptions then you would be avoiding a car crash and survive. Or the opposite is the same, if the road didn't exist which is where the automobiles density is at its highest there wouldn't be any car accidents, reality is a construct but it isn't all illusion because the things we made as human beings were not to be true we won't be having this cutting edge technology to even discuss this topic. "Our perception of time & space matter?" Of course it is due to the reasons I mentioned above. "Virtual reality constructed by our consciousness is fake?" Again it's a no, it isn't a lie. Lemme go a little deeper with this. Let's take a day today example, we always face with other human beings in daily basis. Some of they lay the flat out truth on ur face or some of them just lie like it was nothing to them, but have u seen this specific type of people who doesn't even tell you the truth or even tell a lie? That's the analogy I'm going to take here. Virtual reality in this sense, it is not a lie because it's what we have been offered with our both natural and artificial senses, rest of them that we haven't figure out yet is just flat out not present, it doesn't mean it's a lie, it means it's what we have come to understand with what we have. We still having benefits with different scientific systems such as biology, chemistry and physics for decades including the now and it's still growing, why u may ask? It's because it wasn't a lie, it's what we have come to understand with the senses as human beings including both natural and artificial and also intelligence. Even the virtual reality fails because we don't have the senses to grasp the nitty gritty stuff in this reality or the universe as a whole. As we people who are extraordinarily dependent on science system nowadays are still in the state trial and error, we always fails, that's why any of our scientific systems aren't 100% perfect, if we were to be live in a lie, our very own scientific system wouldn't be achieving any success in every aspect we using them. Because, it is just simply a lie. It is something we build up and refined with what we have given, just like when the carpenter makes his craft if only when the carpenter was provided enough wood. We are still evolving, human has not yet reached to it's peak of its evolution and it will never be provided the fact that the universe itself is expanding making hundreds of thousands of realities in a blink. Our intelligence is not competitive enough to turn those meta - physical concepts into physical concepts, why? It's because like I mentioned before we don't aquire those senses instinctively in order to detect those that we can't grasp. For an example, if we human beings with eyes that has the capability to observe things in a micro level, no human in this world needs to be specifically educated themselves about micro organisms because they can literally observe by self and learn by self. "You ain't living in a quantum mess, you living in a fake quantum mess?" It's the same answer I repeated in above paragraphs, with a straight up nope answer, we don't live in a fake mess. The fake word in here is massively subjective but the truth is that we kind of living in an objective way, it's the problem of we ain't living in an sufficient level of objectivity. In other words, our perception and processing abilities as qualifications doesn't meet up with the expectations of the universe level in order to understand the universe itself. Just like when u running out of specs when u try to play a high end game. Hoffman's other theory is correct that this reality is our interface but it's not an illusion, which I already explained why for. And what we already know is coming from the process surviving, which also means natural selection is not for truth. "The reality we live in is not real?" It is real, it is our own way of construct according to our perception which didn't lie to us in the first place, it's solid as concrete within the range it had to work, that's why we as scientists do experiments in order to see the results through our perceptive receptors. But the problem in here is that our perceptive abilities is so negligible compared to the universal level of perception to the point out perception looks like a sand particle resting on a beach called universe. Again it ain't all mirage or illusions, our own perceptions didn't lie, it told the truth within it's operating range. And yes in this reality, we have to navigate through chaos, but our job is to bring order into that chaos, that's the lesson that has been showed us from the big bang theory, which is how taijitu represents, while one side of the universe brings us chaos, it's our job to navigate through those chaos and bring order to the chaos in order to keep the balance of longevity. "What does this makes you? (according to someone who entrapped in a fake reality.)" Well, according to evolution combined with meta physical concepts. We're just a negligible fractioned organism in this massive universe (which I do believe it has an end) who are suppose to bring a unity and collectively understand this expanding universe through combining all the perceptions and judgement abilities that this universe has offer to us. We're a negligible fraction of a huge bio - organism community which we're supposed to unite as one while surviving using our primal instincts. This is why the existence of aliens are ture. We're supposed to be unite with them, communicate with them using a universal language in order to share the knowledge we gained with each other, instead of demonizing these organisms through labeling as anomalous aliens. Those species are in that same exact knowledge gaining race as I mentioned above. They aren't necessarily harmful anomalies for us human race. It depends on their attitude. We folks became comfortable with locality because by human nature we're arrogant by default. It's the coping mechanisms that are build to defend against the uncontrollable and the unseeable matters that exist beyond our senses. They also fear for sudden changes, why? It's because that means they have to break their own personal logical Jenga towers that has been built with what they know, which means that they have to start all over. This is why both Einstein were hesitant to accept the schrodinger's cat theory and Prof. Neil degrasse Tyson were hesitant to accept meta physical philosophies. Because they do have to face that primal human perception problem and break their own jenga towers, this what is called the human condition which is not easy to break. What the Kant said about human brain passively absorb reality and actively shapes them into reality is also true because what they see is what they believe, like monkey see monkey do. In here, a belief system is what act as a fence to secure the "reality" land plot, the secured fractioned land. But once their fence was torn apart, they use their coping mechanisms as a failsafe like a perception distortioner. Rose - colored glass maker if u will, but not that they didn't put their glasses early on but it causes the hue of rose color to increase which makes then even more arrogant and live more in denial because it's what they only see through their distorted senses. Everything else is rejected by the brain. "Are you ready to accept that everything that you experience and know is just a construct in your mind?" Yes, a good thing about that is that we have come this far in technology to even understand what is not seeable. If we didn't believed what we know then we would be some random animal species wandering around and trying to survive on daily basis instead of thriving. "What do you believe?" I believe everything that talks about nothing. Because of that I gives me an easier time to override what I already know about nothingness because they all have the same value which makes them useless to hold on to. And also they started from nothing, If you're a person who likes to play around with meta - physical realm, you can feel something wrongful is on its way towards us to collide.

Your videos help me go to sleep. I love the feeling of winder about the universe. The adventures of mystery ✨️ 😍 💛

[@bhutjolokia6990]

We need a philosophical mind to have a broad perception rather than a tunnel vision approach. What if the unknown is not able to be known. What if the true nature of the universe is held together with an invisible force putting pressure on on bubbled universe. Waning in and out for eternity while forever changing as time goes by.👻🤪🌶🤘😎♾️

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate this man, if you ever need feet pic hit me up bro

Also lots of holes in what hes saying. Shordingers cat part for one. He talks about it in terms of the common mis perception ( like its right its not) of that whole experiment. go read the actual research.What is really being said by the real scientists.

Best start Shamatha meditation or this stuff can drive you doolally.

Philosophers trying desperately to convince people that they actually do anything useful.

[@tyronewilliams7556]

I'm not a philosopher, but one might say something like "Preoccupation with usefulness, makes one more susceptible to being used." On a more serious note, I've actually thought about this. My conclusion is that either everything is useless or nothing is. Some people would find us both useless, but (I hope) there are people who love you. There is more in value to the tangible lives of those around us than to some nebulous idea of "the world," or "society." Both would be fine w/o you, me, and philosophy. But someone else may not be.

[@Rogueface26]

Even if none of this is real. Everyone should acted like it is for the sake of people that need to believe its real just to provide a good life for themselves and their kids. Somebody thing of the children. Wont Somebody please think of the children.
