Quantum Philosophy

Exploring how quantum mechanics challenges classical philosophical views of reality, causality, and consciousness.

Core Philosophical Questions

Observer Problem

How does consciousness affect reality in quantum measurements? Does the wavefunction collapse due to observation, or is there a deeper mechanism at play?

Quantum Spooky Action

Entanglement defies local realism. How do paired particles interact instantaneously across vast distances? Is space-time an illusion?

Major Interpretations

Copenhagen

Observation finalizes reality. Accepts uncertainty as fundamental.

Popular but philosophically contentious

Many Worlds

All possibilities manifest in parallel universes.

Solves paradoxes but adds infinity of realities

Pilot Wave

Hidden variables guide particles deterministically.

Revives classic causality but lacks consensus

Thought Experiment

"If we could observe at the quantum level without affecting systems, would reality remain uncertain? Or would a true 'passive observer' finally reveal objective truth?"
