Quantum Physics and the Divine
Explore where fundamental physics meets metaphysics. Unpack Einstein's dice, Bell's theorem, and the measurement problem to understand how quantum mechanics reshaped debates on determinism, consciousness, and divine action.
Like Duolingo, but for Quantum Physics and the Divine. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
A short one: 10 levels across 2 sections, about 20 minutes end to end, roughly 4 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Dismantling the Clockwork Universe and Consciousness, Collapse, and Agency. It assumes you already know the basics.

Key ideas in Quantum Physics and the Divine
- Einstein rejected a personal deity who performs miracles
- Spinoza's God is identical to an orderly, fully causal cosmos
- Einstein believed physical laws must be strictly deterministic
- Einstein viewed quantum odds as statistical ignorance of deeper facts
- Bohr argued measurements reveal fundamental, irreducible uncertainty
- Their dispute centered on whether reality is complete without hidden laws
- Born showed wave amplitudes squared yield probability densities
- Classical physics assumed exact past knowledge fixes all future states
- Wave mechanics replaces deterministic trajectories with odds
- Standard quantum mechanics accepts irreducible objective chance
- Hidden variable models preserve determinism via unseen physical states
- Physicists must choose between intrinsic randomness or unobserved layers
- Bell translated metaphysical assumptions into a strict mathematical limit on correlation stats.
- Any universe governed by local hidden variables cannot exceed a specific correlation threshold.
- Physical detectors measuring entangled particle pairs could directly test this numerical limit.
- Locality means no influence travels faster than light between distant measurements.
