11. God, Humanity and the Cosmos Topic: Schrödinger’s Cat and the Mean...
The dominant view in quantum mechanics is that quantum probabilities become determinate on measurement - that the wave function (see The Schrödinger Wave Equation) is collapsed by the intervention of classical measuring apparatus. This means

12. Physics Topic: Physics and Cosmology in the 20th Century
paradigms emerged out of classical mechanics during the first decades of the twentieth century: special relativity (1905) and quantum mechanics (1900 - 1930). When applied to the physics of gravity, special relativity led to general

13. Divine Action Topic: Clayton, Philip. “Tracing the Lines: Constraint an...
both classical theism and panentheism . Theism asserts that the world as it appears to us is real and that it has its origin in an ultimate principle called spirit. The divine spirit is an active principle in this world and

14. God, Humanity and the Cosmos Topic: The EPR Paradox
early development of quantum mechanics (see the photo-electric effect ), he was very uneasy about its implications and, in later years, organised a rearguard action against it. His aphorism ‘God does not play dice’ highlights the depths

15. Physics Topic: Quantum Physics
fundamental break with classical physics after general relativity came gradually over a thirty year period (1900-1930) with the development of quantum mechanics by dozens of physicists including Planck , Einstein , Bohr , Schrödinger,

16. Divine Action Topic: Ellis, George F.R. “Quantum Theory and the Macrosc...
hierarchy. He begins with classical physics, chemistry, and biology, where reductionism is framed in terms of micro-to-macro relations of bottom-up deterministic causality. But Ellis notes that quantum processes give rise to the regularities of

17. God, Humanity and the Cosmos Topic: The Hidden-Variable Theory of David Bohm
nature of quantum mechanics implies that it is only really applicable to ensembles of particles (just as an opinion poll is only meaningful if a reasonable sample of the population has been polled). In other words, quantum mechanics is

18. God, Humanity and the Cosmos Topic: The Many-Worlds Interpretation
interpretation of quantum mechanics starts from the assumption that scientific theories ought to be self-interpreting. The Schrödinger wave equation in quantum mechanics is smooth, continuous and deterministic . There is nothing in it that

19. General Term: Chaos Theory
systems are ‘classical’ in scale and thus subsumable in principle under classical mechanics with its deterministic laws of motion. Still even for the simplest systems, minute uncertainties in the initial conditions and

20. God, Humanity and the Cosmos Topic: The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
implies that quantum mechanics is inherently statistical - it deals with probabilities rather than well-defined classical trajectories. Such a view is clearly inimical to classical determinism . See Shaking the Foundations: the
