Quanta, Alterity, and Love: Quantum Physics and Philosophy
Quanta, Alterity, and Love: When the Findings of Quantum Physics, Philosophy, and Radical Alterity Collide
Multitiered approach for beginners and advanced seekers alike
Volume 2: Towards Radical Exteriority as Physics
Since the Twentieth-Century, quantum physics has ushered in radical findings that challenge our most basic assumptions of reality. This work establishes that these scientific upheavals can no longer be ignored-to do so is to risk catastrophic demise. This is not an attempt to synchronize physics with ethics through reductive simplifications; it is a foundational interrogation of the rupture of reality itself.
Where classical science and philosophy once took hold-planted as countless roots, splaying and burrowed in the dark, burgeoning earth of history to sprout into the sunlight of commonsense-those histories have been overtaken. In the Twentieth-Century, they were overgrown by the rhizome of an untamed abyss, shaping a future where radically different ethics are required. These bizarre and radical discoveries now threaten our future. At the heart of the matter is an increasingly untenable social chaos; survival of the fittest must be re-thought as the survival of the species, requiring a radically different ethics.
In Volume 2, the investigation into physics deepens as we move towards radically different notions of the cosmos. By juxtaposing startling findings in theoretical physics with philosophical inquiry, this volume explores the breaking points of our reality-from the holographic origins of the universe to the chaos of vacuum energy. As we reckon with the imminent meeting of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing, we find that our practical assumptions of commonsense are not just disrupted, but entirely dismantled.
Included in this Volume:
Major Topics: A journey through Cosmology, Blackholes, Wormholes, Quantum Chaos, the Holographic Big Bang, Strings and Branes, Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computers, and the failures of histories of metaphysics and science that challenges a vast array of common place assumptions.
Strings and Branes: An exploration of the multidimensional structures that form entire landscapes of alternate and abyssal foundations of what we think of as our physical existence.
The Intelligence Revolution: Analyzing the convergence of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computers as a starting point for an incommensurably greater shift in human understanding.
Entropy and Information: Philosophical reflections on vacuum energy and the breakdown of classical cause-and-effect.
We stand at an unfathomable precipice where the certainties of classicism have been hollowed out from within. Since the Twentieth-Century, quantum physics has ushered in incredible findings that challenge us with unimaginable consequences, leaving our survival and way of life hanging over a vast abyss of uncertainty.
