The objective reality of the apple has not changed. — Artemis
certainty or lack thereof does not change the state of the universe. — Artemis
But nonetheless his equation has been empirically verified time and again, it really seems to work like that on the quantum-level. — ChatteringMonkey
The problem with this is that physics has definitively shown that at bottom there is no objective entity, thing, atom, whatever, that exists independently of the act of being measured/observed by the scientist. — Wayfarer
thus denies the possibility of Deity in 'their faith'. — 3017amen
Is Love an objective or subject truth?
(Is that analogous to the aforementioned example of the color of the apple? Meaning is that a metaphorical 'mottled' color?)
I would also welcome an Atheist to parse that one for me. — 3017amen
Then you don't seem to understand what Shrödinger's cat was about. — Artemis
Sorry I just saw your reply / contribution and I thank you for that!
Are you referring to more of an epistemic or ontological aspect of observing things? — 3017amen
I think I do, it's about quantum indeterminacy, not necessarily about the measurement problem. The absurdity is that the cat would be in a state of superposition, both dead and alive — ChatteringMonkey
Carroll argues that the many-worlds theory is the most straightforward approach to understanding quantum mechanics. It accepts the reality of the wave function. In fact, it says that there is one wave function, and only one, for the entire Universe. Further, it states that when an event happens in our world, the other possibilities contained in the wave function do not go away. Instead, new worlds are created, in which each possibility is a reality.
A proposition is considered to have objective truth when its truth conditions are met without bias caused by a sentient subject. — 3017amen
Can something exist by itself without observation? — 3017amen
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
