The philosophy of experiment

A scientific relationship between the Eastern Confucian philosophy and quantum physics is not clearly known in science and philosophy because of lack of concrete data that would substantially enable us to clearly explain it. Recent findings and discoveries in quantum physics and other relevant science, and the Eastern Confucian philosophy are reviewed in this study. The review of Confucian philosophy, quantum physics and personal experiences of precognitive dreams of the author and others reveal considerable parallels between Confucian philosophy and quantum physics from the ontological perspective.

The present research offers thesis of experiences, truth and false values, and thus the socio-scientific understanding of knowledge theories. From the philosophical journey of Heraclitus, Parmenidian, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Hume and Kant, we construct the theory of goodwill, global wisdom and local experiences in the natural philosophy. Given a set of smooth experience functions, we have demonstrated that the Descarte's knowledge follows from the corresponding Hume's definition of the knowledge, as the late time effect. Following the notion that the reality consists of events which are not connected by certain law(s) but they possess an association, contiguity and continuity, we examine the quantum viewpoints, viz. the philosophical quest of Hume and Kant. From the perspective of rational philosophy, the statistical and partially ordered knowledge theories characterize the classical and quantum endeavors towards the existential category, social vacuumness and fundamental theories. The thesis of experiences and goodwill theory are discussed towards the metaphysical theories of natural philosophy.

Recently, Carlo Rovelli wrote an essay about bad philosophy hampering the progress of physics [1]. That, of course, can be true. Nevertheless, my letter will present a definite proof that bad statistics hampers that progress as well. Here we show that erroneous statistical underpinnings of a key experiment to demonstrate the absence of Einstein data in the empirical reality, disallows a serious conclusion from an experiment. The experiment [2] is paradigmatic for a whole array of similar experiments. We mention e.g. Weihs et al [3]. The presentation of the flaw is done without much reference to random variables and detailed probability violations. It is based on an integral expression to make it easier for not statistically schooled readers who are interested in philosophy of physics. It is however statistical methodology of experiments in foundational physics. The derived result implies that Einstein data may still exist in the empirical reality. The general context of this result is not only philosophical or foundational. It affects quantum technology as well. Quantum security, more in particular entanglement based quantum key distribution, may not be safe at all when Einsteinian variables exist and can be manipulated.
