TL;DR
This paper explores the fundamental ontological tensions in modern physics between quantum micro-reality and classical macro-reality, highlighting unresolved philosophical and scientific issues.
Contribution
It offers a philosophical analysis of the ontological ambiguity in physics, emphasizing the unresolved tension between microphysical quantum and macrophysical classical realities.
Findings
Quantum violations of Bell's Theorem challenge classical notions
The micro-macro ontological divide remains fundamentally unresolved
Philosophical concepts are crucial to understanding physical reality
Abstract
We discuss in this work the contradictory position in modern Physics between the existence of a microphysical quantum Reality and macrophysical classical one. After discussing some basic concepts in Philosophy, we revisit the situation of Quantum Mechanics results, particularly after the confirmation of violations of Bell's Theorem, and its significance to create a tension between the micro and the macro world, which is very fundamental and unsolved.
