Superpositioned unity of distinct states, entanglement, dual
identity and other concepts associated with the quanta remain more than a
little intriguing. And indeed I have often thought of this realm of science as
a case of science breaking down, even
of a hint of the metaphysical imposing itself on empiricist assumptions. It has
a real value in terms of apologetics – not in what it can say, but in what it
can destroy. It casts doubt on the certainty and epistemological assumptions of
Scientism. It declares not only that there's something more and something
beyond but that these questions end in mystery and incoherence. It painfully
reveals the limitations of human epistemology.
