Questions and Comments ?? : 

Questions and Comments ?? The development during the present century is characterized by two theoretical systems essentially independent of each other: the theory of relativity and the quantum theory. The two systems do not directly contradict each other; but they seem little adapted to fusion into one unified theory. For the time being we have to admit that we do not possess any general theoretical basis for physics which can be regarded as its logical foundation. If, then, it is true that the axiomatic basis of theoretical physics cannot be extracted from experience but must be freely invented, can we ever hope to find the right way? I answer without hesitation that there is, in my opinion, a right way, and that we are capable of finding it. I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed. (Albert Einstein, 1879-1954)

Questions and Comments ?? : 

Questions and Comments ?? It can no longer be maintained that the properties of any one thing in the universe are independent of the existence or non-existence of everything else. It is, at last, no longer sensible to speak of a universe with only one thing in it. … A successful unification of quantum theory and relativity would necessarily be a theory of the universe as a whole. It would tell us, as Aristotle and Newton did before, what space and time are, what the cosmos is, what things are made of, and what kind of laws those things obey. Such a theory will bring about a radical shift - a revolution - in our understanding of what nature is. It must also have wide repercussions, and will likely bring about, or contribute to, a shift in our understanding of ourselves and our relationship to the rest of the universe. (Lee Smolin, 1955- theoretical physicist, a researcher at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, and an adjunct professor of physics at the University of Waterloo.)

Questions and Comments ?? : 

Questions and Comments ?? Features of quantum mechanics— Uncertainty Principle Nonlocality - entangled with the whole Universe Measurement problem ‘Veiled realism,' verses Kant's doctrine of synthetic a priori knowledge, scientific knowledge will never truly describe mind-independent reality, the notion of such an ultimate reality - one we can never access directly or rationally. It is so mysterious we cannot know or even imagine it. "The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established by experiment." (Bernard d'Espagnat, theoretical physicist and philosopher of science, best known for his work on the nature of reality. 1921-)
