The Soul of Science, ch. 9
I have always wondered about Quantum Physics. In this chapter the authors unpack the mysteries that are packed into this field of study. I appreciate the more philosophical critique offered at the end of the chapter as they take a look at the epistemology, metaphysics and ethics of Quantum Physics. It is perhaps in this field of study more than any other where the intersection of faith, religion, epistemology and metaphysics are noticeable. Creating a metaphysics of their own built on physical properties, we have a whole new field of study built on fantasy. The oddity of it all is that quantum theories should not be thrown out, for they are useful. They should, however, be tempered and examined (particularly from a philosophical standpoint). There can be no "dogma of infallibility" resting on quantum studies.
