280412 - The two slit experiments, for the first time in physics, indicates
280413 - that there is a much deeper relationship between the observer and the
280414 - phenomenon, at least at the subatomic level.  This is an extreme break
280415 - from the idea of an objective reality or one where the laws of Nature
280416 - have a special, Platonic existence. ref OF 16 HRQS
280418 -  ..
280419 - Role of Observer
280420 -
280421 -        The quantum world can be not be perceived directly, but rather
280422 -        through the use of instruments.  And, so, there is a problem
280423 -        with the fact that the act of measuring disturbs the energy and
280424 -        position of subatomic particles.  This is called the
280425 -        measurement problem. ref OF 16 PQVV
280427 -         ..
280428 -        Thus, we begin to see a strong coupling of the properties of an
280429 -        quantum object and the act of measuring those properties.  The
280430 -        question of the reality of quantum properties remains unsolved.
280431 -        All quantum mechanical principles must reduce to Newtonian
280432 -        principles at the macroscopic level (there is a continuity
280433 -        between quantum and Newtonian mechanics). ref OF 16 QSQW

280451 -    The fact that quantum systems, such as electrons and protons, have
280452 -    indeterminate aspects means they exist as possibilities rather than
280453 -    actualities.  This gives them the property of being things that
280454 -    might be or might happen, rather than things that are.  This is in
280455 -    sharp contrast to Newtonian physics where things are or are not,
280456 -    there is no uncertainty except those imposed by poor data or
280457 -    limitations of the data gathering equipment. ref OF 16 PRXW
280459 -     ..
280460 -    Quantum (microscopic) level consists of two kinds of reality,
280461 -    actual and potential.  Actual results from measuring a quantum
280462 -    entity.  Potential is the state before it was measured.  Quantum
280463 -    entities - photon, electron, neutron, etc - exists in multiple

430501 -        Heisenberg formulated the uncertainty principle in February
430502 -        1927 while employed as a lecturer in Bohr's Institute for
430503 -        Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen.  Bohr, who
430504 -        had been on a skiing vacation, returned to the institute to
430505 -        find Heisenberg's paper already in draft.  Forwarding the paper
430506 -        to Einstein at Heisenberg's request, Bohr complained to
430507 -        Einstein that Heisenberg's approach was too narrow and his
430508 -        gamma-ray microscope was flawed, although the result was
430509 -        correct.  For Bohr, the uncertainty relations arose not merely
430510 -        from the quantum equations and the use of particles and
430511 -        discontinuity.  Waves and particles had to be taken equally
430512 -        into account, and the scattering of light waves by the electron
430513 -        was also crucial.  When Heisenberg corrected his thought

430735 -        Just as he rejected their claim that experimental results in
430736 -        quantum mechanics implied that nothing exists unless it is
430737 -        being observed by a conscious human being, so also he disagreed
430738 -        with their claim that these results implied that the so-called

430745 -        Most of us believe that, as we put it, "things don't just
430746 -        happen", i.e., that events don't occur without being caused to
430747 -        occur.  And outside quantum mechanics, every other branch of
430748 -        science - physical, biological, medical, social, psychological,
430749 -        etc. - shares that assumption.

430752 -        Einstein believed that this assumption was justified.  He
430753 -        believed, more generally, that the universe was deterministic
430754 -        in the sense that every event that occurs is caused by other
430755 -        events in such a way that the causing events bring about their

430764 -        the inference was fallacious: those who argued this way were
430765 -        guilty of confusing two senses of the word "determinism".
430767 -         ..
430768 -        Two kinds of determinism: causal and predictive
430769 -        As Einstein implicitly realised, it is important to recognise
430770 -        the difference between two deterministic claims:
430772 -         ..
430773 -        Causal determinism
430775 -         ..
430776 -        Causal determinism says that every event is caused by, and
430777 -        hence determined by, previous events. Someone who believes in
430778 -        causal determinism is making what philosophers call an
430779 -        "ontological" claim, i.e., a claim about the nature of reality
430780 -        in itself.
430782 -         ..
430783 -        Predictive determinism
430785 -         ..
430786 -        By way of contrast, predictive determinism says that if causal
430787 -        determinism is true, and if - in addition - we have knowledge
430788 -        about the causes of an event and the laws of nature that
430789 -        govern the occurrence of that sort of event, then we can have
430790 -        knowledge of (i.e., predict) future events. Someone who
430791 -        believes in predictive determinism is making what philosophers
430792 -        call an "epistemological" claim, i.e., a claim about our
430793 -        knowledge of reality.

430797 -        Scale of Measuring Tools Makes Subatomic Measurement Imprecise
430798 -
430799 -        Einstein agreed with the Copenhagen interpretation that
430800 -        predictive determinism was unachievable when dealing with
430801 -        microphysical events. He agreed, that is, that we can't make
430802 -        the measurements that would allow us to make precise
430803 -        predictions of what is going to happen at that level of scale.

430811 -
430812 -        But, he argued, that doesn't mean that causal determinism is
430813 -        false. It doesn't mean that events at the microphysical level
430814 -        occur by pure chance without any causes whatever.
430816 -         ..
430817 -        By way of analogy, he would argue that the uncertainty
430818 -        involved in Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is simply a
430819 -        result of lack of knowledge. In particular, the statistical
430820 -        probability estimates found in quantum physics are simply a
430821 -        result of our lack of knowledge (because of imprecise
430822 -        measurements) of the initial states of atomic and subatomic
430823 -        particles, not a result of a lack of causal mechanisms for the
430824 -        way these particles behave.

430830 -         ..
430831 -        Einstein wasn't alone in believing that quantum mechanics
430832 -        would eventually go beyond a mathematical description of
430833 -        probabilities and find an explanation in the form of deeper
430834 -        causal mechanisms.  His views were shared by several other
430835 -        great physicists of the time: Max Planck, Erwin Schrodinger,
430836 -        Louis de Broglie, and - much later - David Bohm. Louis de
430837 -        Broglie expressed their common viewpoint aptly when he wrote
430838 -        that he expected a time to come when:
430839 -
430840 -            ...we will be able to interpret the laws of probability and
430841 -            quantum physics as being the statistical results of the
430842 -            development of completely determined values of variables
430843 -            which are at present hidden from us. . . .  The idea of
430844 -            chance . . . comes in at each stage in the progress of our
430845 -            knowledge, when we are not aware that we are on the brink
430846 -            of a deeper level of reality which still eludes us.
430848 -         ..
430849 -        The defenders of quantum indeterminacy held that the estimates
430850 -        of chance that are reflected in the probabilistic mathematics
430851 -        of quantum mechanics are due to a failure of causality in
430852 -        reality, not just a failure in our knowledge. The concept of
430853 -        chance, in their view, is an ontological one, not just an
430854 -        epistemological one. In effect, they were saying that the way
430855 -        the universe itself behaves at the atomic level is as if there
430856 -        were a god who was playing dice with it.
430858 -         ..
430859 -        This was what Einstein was denying when he said that God does
430860 -        NOT play dice with the universe.

430869 -        Einstein's view was what would now be called, a hidden variable
430870 -        theory.  Hidden variable theories might seem to be the most
430871 -        obvious way to incorporate the Uncertainty Principle into
430872 -        physics.  They form the basis of the mental picture of the
430873 -        universe, held by many scientists, and almost all philosophers

430888 -        experimental test that would distinguish hidden variable
430889 -        theories.  When the experiment was carried out carefully, the
430890 -        results were inconsistent with hidden variables.  Thus it seems

430900 -        Accordingly, an independent reality in the ordinary physical
430901 -        sense can neither be ascribed to the phenomena nor to the
430902 -        agencies of observation. ref OF 58 006P  Thus it is impossible
430903 -        to formulate an "unambiguous" definition of the atomic system's
430904 -        classical mechanical state.  Without definition of the closed
430905 -        system's state, it is impossible to apply the conservation

430916 -    6.  Space and time are necessary to describe what is determined by
430917 -        an observation, and conservation principles apply to each
430918 -        atomic process.  Hence, although the two classical modes of
430919 -        description cannot be applied at the same time, neither can
430920 -        they be abandoned.  Quantum theory regards space-time
430921 -        co-ordination and the claim of causality, as complementary
430922 -        but exclusive features, of the description, symbolizing the
430923 -        idealization of observation and definition respectively.  Just
430924 -        as the relativity theory has taught us that the convenience of
430925 -        distinguishing sharply between space and time rests solely on
430926 -        the smallness of the velocities ordinarily met with compared to
430927 -        the velocity of light, we learn from the quantum theory that
430928 -        the appropriateness of our usual space-time descriptions
430929 -        depends entirely on the small value of the quantum of action
430930 -        compared to the actions involved in ordinary sense perceptions.
430931 -        Indeed, in the description of atomic phenomena, the quantum
430932 -        postulate presents us with the task of developing a
430933 -        "complementarity" theory the consistency of which can only be
430934 -        judged by weighing the possibilities of definition and
430935 -        observation.  The Philosophy of Niels Bohr Page 114,

430938 -         ..
430939 -        Wave particle duality - this situation would seem clearly to
430940 -        indicate the impossibility of a causal space-time description
430941 -        of the light phenomena.  On the one hand, in attempting to
430942 -        trace the laws of the time-spatial propagation of light
430943 -        according to the quantum postulate, we are confined to
430944 -        statistical considerations.  On the other hand, the fulfillment
430945 -        of the claim of causality for the individual light processes,
430946 -        characterized by the quantum of action, entails a renunciation
430947 -        as regards space-time description.  Of course, there can be no
430948 -        question of a quite independent application of the ideas of
430949 -        space-time and causality.  The two views of the nature of light
430950 -        are rather to be considered as different attempts at an
430951 -        interpretation of the experimental evidence in which the
430952 -        limitation of the classical concepts is expressed in
430953 -        complementary ways.  The Philosophy of Niels Bohr Page 115.

430957 -    7.  Bohr argues "we are confined to statistical considerations"
430958 -        when attempting a space-time description of light propagation
430959 -        because the quantum formalism does not permit determining the
430960 -        state of the observed radiation in an observational interaction
430961 -        with any greater precision than that expressed by Heisenberg's
430962 -        uncertainty principle.  If an observation of a phenomenon which
430963 -        is interpreted by representing radiation as a photon at a
430964 -        precise point in space and time, the energy of that photon
430965 -        cannot be defined, for it requires determining the frequency of
430966 -        the radiation and that in turn requires a wave description
430967 -        which represents the radiation as spread out through a region

430971 - Fose and Glover seem to interpret Bohr holding that space-time is one
430972 - element and causality is another element of a duality analogous to
430973 - wave particle duality; rather than that, space time is a duality,
430974 - which seems possible in that ordinarily space and time are separate

720435 -        Quantum relational holism, resting on the nonlocal entanglement
720436 -        of potentialities, is a kind of holism not previously defined.
720437 -        Because each related entity has some characteristics - mass,
720438 -        charge, spin - before its emergent properties are evoked, each
720439 -        can be reduced to some extent to atomistic parts, as in
720440 -        classical physics.  The holism is not the extreme holism of
720441 -        Parmenides or Spinoza, where everything is an aspect of the
720442 -        One.  Yet because some of their properties emerge only through
720443 -        relationship, quantum entities are not wholly subject to
720444 -        reduction either.  The truth is somewhere between Newton and
720445 -        Spinoza.  A quantum system may also vary between being more
720446 -        atomistic at some times and more holistic at others; the degree
720447 -        of entanglement vary.  Where a reductionist believes that any
720448 -        whole can be broken down or analyzed into its separate parts
720449 -        and the relationships between them, the holist maintains that
720450 -        the whole is primary and often greater than the sum of its
720451 -        parts.  Nothing can be wholly reduced to the sum of its parts.
