Karol Jalochowski | Reality Lost. How the Objective Reality Had to Go. @jalochowski | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
When 20th century begun, a major shift took place idn science. Scientists started making experiments with an unprecedented precision. Fiddle with single particles, atoms, and electrons. And they got bewildered. Small objects seemed to have a sort of fuzzy properties. What's more - the very act of observing them, of measuring them, seemed to bring them to live, excavate them from a vague domain. Equations of quantum mechanics were beautiful. They did generate astonishingly correct answers for mind boggling questions about the exotic micro world. But there was a price to pay. Objective reality had to go.Was is regained?
