   > Course Laplace was not right. He didn't know about the true laws of physics He thought that Newton's laws were more or less correct it every reason to believe that was true But since then we have relativity and quantum mechanics And so forth so we have a better idea now of what the law is Fundamentally are in fact one of the bold claims

   We still lack any consensus about what one is actually talking about as one uses quantum mechanics. There is a gap between the abstract terms in which the theory is couched and the phenomena the theory enables each of us to account for so well. Because it has no practical consequences for how we each use quantum mechanics to deal with physical problems, this cognitive dissonance has managed to coexist with the quantum theory from the very beginning. The absence of conceptual clarity for almost a century suggests that the problem might lie in some implicit misconceptions about the nature of sci…

   What if I were to tell you that Einstein’s “theory of relativity” is not just about time being relative to the observer. What if I told you a core set of beliefs shared by enough people could actually set up an alternative reality and force you to live by its rules. Do you think the laws of quantum mechanics could somehow shed light on this? Would you believe it, if I told you I believe it?

   Well, Newton didn't try to describe things moving at speeds comparable to light. He dealt with what problem he could deal with at that time. So, it's a law that has a limited domain of validity. You can always push the frontiers of observation until you come to a situation where the law doesn't work. But the specialty of relativity doesn't also work all the time. If the mass becomes very tiny, it becomes of atomic dimensions, then you need the laws of quantum mechanics. That's wrong too. So, things work in a certain domain and sometimes you abandon the formalism; but don't rush to do that. In …

   The twentieth century saw two fundamental revolutions in physics-relativity and quantum. Daily use of these theories can numb the sense of wonder at their immense empirical success. Does their instrumental effectiveness stand on the rock of secure concepts or the sand of unresolved fundamentals? Does measuring a quantum system probe, or even create, reality or merely change belief? Must relativity and quantum theory just coexist or might we find a new theory which unifies the two? To bring such questions into sharper focus, we convened a conference on Quantum Physics and the Nature of Reality.…

   The third one is, however, a special sort of fact, clearly not dependent on human will or choice and almost certainly not dependent upon any quantum measurements either. Future facts that do depend upon human choice or quantum measurement, should they be facts now, would seem to constrain human choice or quantum measurement in ways that many philosophers find undesirable. It is easy to convince oneself, then, that future facts of those two sorts can not really be part of the existing. Perhaps, then, facts like fact 3 above can be argued away as well. The result of this (lightly sketched) train…

    If the universe had  infinitely complex rules, every different particle   in the universe so to speak, will be doing its own  thing. And we wouldn't get to talk about laws of   nature and have a way to take nature and crush it  down to a narrative that we can understand. So a   fundamental fact about sciences is there is some  finiteness to the rules that are being applied.   As soon as you have that idea in the context of  these models, I think you inevitably have what   will work out in physics as finite speed of ligh…
