Physics has revolutionised our understanding of reality over the past century. Quantum mechanics and relativity, two pillars of modern physics, have transformed how we conceive the natural world. Yet, despite their empirical successes, they have exposed profound conceptual and ontological puzzles that challenge our most basic assumptions about existence.
Classical metaphysics, centred on discrete substances moving through absolute space and time, struggles to accommodate phenomena such as quantum entanglement, tunnelling, and the relativistic deformation of spacetime. These challenges raise fundamental questions: What does it mean for something to exist? How is reality structured? What is the nature of time and space themselves?
This blog is dedicated to exploring these foundational issues. It examines the ontological assumptions embedded within quantum physics and relativity and seeks to develop alternative frameworks—especially relational and processual ontologies—that provide conceptual clarity and coherence. By critically unpacking the metaphysical foundations of modern physics, the blog aims to illuminate new paths toward a more integrated and philosophically robust understanding of the physical world.
Here, physics, philosophy, and related disciplines come together in dialogue. This space invites critical reflection on the language, concepts, and metaphors that shape scientific worldview and influence theory development. It confronts unresolved puzzles and explores innovative ideas that transcend traditional frameworks.
Join this ongoing inquiry as we unfold the foundations of reality.
