This
‘eyes on’ approach (in spite of the fact that events depicted
are below the wavelength of light) is in contrast to physicists who
are, for a too long time now, entrenched into the view of Nature
from human dimensions. Not necessarily a problem in itself, it has
been twisted into an unfounded cog- nitive approach to Nature by the
army of physicist who believe that they do ‘pure physics’ only.
They are unaware of their stray from the basic philosophical
assumptions of the physical laws they use.
Take,
for instance, the Heisenberg’s principle of uncertainty. All it
says is that, because our act of measurement in the microworld
introduces disturbance comparable with the happenings in those
dimensions, we are unable to measure precisely certain pairs of
physical quantities at the same time, e.g. position and amount of
motion (momentum). That is, the uncertainty applies to our knowledge
about micro particles not to those particles themselves.
However,
so many physicists nowadays consider that elementary particles could
be ‘here’ and ‘there’ at the same time. Really. Some of them
even explain the birth of our universe this way: one poor particle
from ‘there’ (other universe) happened to be ‘here’ (our
universe). Really?
Oh,
how many times did I tell to my fellow physicists that the laws of
physics (all natural sciences, for that matter) are not laws of
Nature but the laws of our thinking about Nature.
