Seeking Reality: Enforcing logical consilience between Postulate, Theory, Experiment & Interpretation
ORAL
Abstract
To assure our engineering success towards bringing sustainability in the biosphere, we must accept nature to be a marvelously creative system engineer & keep exploring the working rules behind all natural phenomena. However, many serious physicists have been raising the idea that nature may not be real. We have also been debating EPR-paradox since the 1930s, while trying to construct Quantum Computers without any mass-market-success for over forty years. This is despite staggering technological successes in almost every other field. Many brilliant potential Physics students are now opting for Biosciences, AI & Financial field. Therefore, the author proposes to present a consilience synthesis of the currently prevailing four stepping tools of building better physics theories: (i) Postulates, (ii) Theory, (iii) Experiment & (iv) Interpretation. None of these steps separately can be either final or complete, because we construct them based on our CURRENT limited knowledge of the universe. Over many centuries, classical Physics used them wisely & suffers little controversy. Physics theories after 1900, over emphatic on theory, are still suffering from sustained controversies. A couple of experiments will be presented on how to logically build a more probing consilient physics while using all the four tools. We will underscore the connection between mathematical operators & nature's engineering action property in a theory to bring out the reality of nature.
