I have submitted a paper to the journal ‘Foundations of Physics’ with a proposal for experimental verification. In their view, time is an illusion.But as per me time is also like space and both are exchangeable. So it is not a better idea to synchronize QM with GR. LQG can not explain the formation of ‘smooth space time’ with ‘discrete’ quantum particles. Maxwell and Boltzmann knew very well that their results were only approximate and statistical.Good interview.It is elaborate on their views.Please find my comments on their views.ġ.
These errors are a combination of human ignorance (our minds and instruments contain limited information and lack perfect precision) and fundamental randomness - whose source is quantum uncertainty.Īt the other extreme of physically small objects, James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann successfully described the motions of atoms or molecules in an "ideal gas" by ignoring the details of their interactions (collisions with one another and with the walls of their container). In addition, measurements of planetary position and motion (indeed all experimental measurements) are only approximate because of observational errors. If they are included, classical mechanics becomes only approximate and the determinism only adequate (albeit accurate to many significant figures). But this result depends on treating the sun and planet as point masses and ignoring the other planets. Isaac Newton's laws of motion perfectly explain Kepler's observation that a planet moves in an ellipse around the sun. Planetary positions are predictable to a very high degree of accuracy, using analytic equations of motion.īut this apparently perfect determinism is an idealization, an abstraction from reality, achieved by treating a small number of macroscopic objects as a system in isolation and ignoring the effects of bodies external to the system.
Physically large objects appear to be continuous and highly deterministic, for example the motion of planets around the sun. This core process of information creation underlies the formation of microscopic objects like atoms and molecules and macroscopic objects like galaxies, stars, and planets. In some parts of the universe however, stable information structures have emerged from a creative process involving indeterministic quantum mechanics (wave function collapse) and transport of entropy away from the new structures to empty parts of the expanding universe. The fundamental nature of the universe is discrete (all things are particulate - atoms for example) and chaotic (irreducibly random).

To the extent that randomness is needed to break the causal chain of strict physical determinism, many philosophers continue to think that free will is the illusion. The existence of this universal distribution law of errors convinced many scientists and philosophers that the randomness of errors was not real, that strict deterministic laws would be found to explain all phenomena, including human beings. Statistical knowledge always contains errors that are normally distributed according to a universal law that ultimately derives from the discrete quantum nature of matter. Strict determinism is an illusion, a consequence of idealization. Consequently all physical processes are statistical and all knowledge is only probabilistic.
