The fundamental question is this manuscript is: What are the fruits of our Scientific Journey during the last 300 years and do we realize that we always have a choice? That we always have the choice with our massive scientific powers to create Heaven on Earth or to create Hell on Earth. We always have the freedom of choice. But when we look at the fruits of our scientific powers it looks more like Hell on Earth than Heaven on Earth. How did we come so far?Did we really want, with our scientific powers, to create war machines that burn women and children alive in massive merciless wars like in Syria? Did we scientists work so hard and gave our lives the last 300 years to science to accomplish these final results? War and hunger everywhere. Massive Climate Changes that are coming. Massive areas where people live, will disappear under the Oceans. Waves of massive Hunger and Thirst are coming. Deserts of refugees who do not know anymore where to go. Forests will turn into deserts. Advance software will enslave the world and kill our privacy and our freedom. Was this really our choice?Or have we been misled? Mislead by a world we have forgotten. A world we do deny. A world that has tricked us by our own weakness and our own desires for acknowledgement and honor. Is there truth in the ancient story about the war between Light and Darkness? Was there truth in the famous words of Albert Einstein when he declared: ”God does not Play Dice”? An important role in the transformation of a fundamentally “Religious Newtonian Physics” into an Atheistic “Quantum Mechanical Physics” has been the contribution of Werner Heisenberg’s publication in Zeitschrift für Physik” in 1925 about the “Umdeutung” [42],[43],[44] and [45]. Heisenberg’s publication in 1925 was the final end of the religious fundamental principle of “Causality” in Physics and had been replaced by the “Probability Idolatry” represented by the “Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle” embodying the quantum mechanical probability waves as a fundamental solution of the quantum mechanical Schrödinger Wave Equation. Heisenberg’s "Umdeutung" paper transformed a physics based on a religious concept of "Causality" into an atheistic physics based on a atheistic concept of "Probablity". "Causality" is the foundation of every religion. What we do and how we act and respond has always consequences. Taking out this fundamental concept of “Causality” removes the religious origin of physics. Replacing “Causality” by the “Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle” turns the Creator of the Universe into a Dice and changes a world, in which human beings are valuable and their decisions determining our history and our future, into a meaningless universe in which humans are meaningless. Einstein could not accept that idea of a meaningless universe without a Creator. And Einstein’s famous equation E= m c2 became the foundation of the development of the “nuclear bomb” in which Werner Heisenberg chose for the Nazis and worked in a team to develop an atomic bomb for Adolph Hitler.Nazi Germany undertook several research programs relating to nuclear technology, including nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, before and during World War II. These were variously called “Uranverein” (Uranium Club) or “Uranprojekt” (Uranium Project). When the second world war began, Heisenberg was made director of the German atom bomb project. He spent five years working on it. At war's end, Heisenberg was captured by the Allies and was imprisoned in England for six months. In the US Robert Oppenheimer became the director of the American Manhattan atom bomb project.

The pivotal shift in Physics initiated by Erwin Heisenberg's seminal work in 1925 marked a significant departure from classical paradigms towards what is now known as modern quantum physics. Heisenberg's groundbreaking paper, "On the quantum-theoretical reinterpretation of kinematical and mechanical relationships," commonly referred to as "Die Umdeutung," heralded a radical transformation in the foundation of physics. By replacing the traditional religious notion of "Causality" with an atheistic concept of "Probability," Heisenberg's work revolutionized the field. The removal of "Causality" challenged the religious underpinning of physics, leading to a reevaluation of fundamental principles. This shift, epitomized by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, transformed the deterministic worldview into a probabilistic one, sparking debates on the nature of existence and human agency. The ramifications of this paradigm shift extended beyond theoretical discourse. The ethical implications of scientific advancements, exemplified by the development of the atomic bomb during World War II, underscored the complex interplay between physics, morality, and political ideologies. The juxtaposition of Heisenberg's involvement in Nazi Germany's atomic research and Oppenheimer's leadership in the Manhattan Project highlighted the ethical dilemmas faced by scientists in wartime. Moreover, the integration of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle with Newton's Causality Principle rekindles discussions on the interconnectedness of Physics, Philosophy, and Theology. The quest for a unified framework underscores the importance of reconciling divergent perspectives to forge a coherent understanding of the universe. This synthesis seeks to bridge the gap between classical paradigms and modern quantum theory, offering new insights into the intertwined fabric of physical laws and metaphysical beliefs. During the 5th Solvay in 1927 has been the famous discussion between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr when Einstein declared: “God does not play Dice”. Formally this discussion was between Einstein and Bohr. But the real discussion was between Einstein and Heisenberg. Heisenberg the creator of the principle of “Fundamental Uncertainty”.

‘God’, said Albert Einstein, ‘does not play dice’. This famous remark by the author of the theory of relativity was not intended as an analysis of the recreational habits of a supreme being but expressed his reaction to the new scientific ideas, developed in the first quarter of the twentieth century, which are now known as quantum physics. Before we can fully appreciate why one of the greatest scientists of modern times should have been led to make such a comment, we must first try to understand the context of scientific and philosophical thought that had become established by the end of the nineteenth century and what it was about the ‘new physics’ that presented such a radical challenge to this consensus. What is often thought of as the modern scientific age began in the sixteenth century, when Nicholas Copernicus proposed that the motion of the stars and planets should be described on the assumption that it is the sun, rather than the earth, which is the centre of the solar system. The opposition, not to say persecution, that this idea encountered from the establishment of that time is well known, but this was unable to prevent a revolution in thinking whose influence has continued to the present day. From that time on, the accepted test of scientific truth has increasingly been observation and experiment rather than religious or philosophical dogma.

In 1903 the physicist Albert Michelson made an astonishing pronouncement. Confident of the advances made by the great physicists of the Victorian era, such as Lord Kelvin, James Clark Maxwell and Thomas Edison, he declared that ‘the most important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplemented in consequence of new discoveries is exceedingly remote’.1 In so doing he followed what appeared to be a long-established tradition that eminent physicists should make bold and far-reaching statements on the nature of the universe and its physical laws.2 Unfortunately, Michelson’s timing could not be worse as early twentieth-century physicists were about to make a string of discoveries that would fundamentally alter our perceptions of the universe. The world as Michelson understood it was about to be turned on its head by the work of three men: Max Planck, Albert Einstein and Ernest Rutherford. The first, Planck, was a respected German physicist who had done work on entropy, but had done little to distinguish himself. Then in 1900 he developed his ‘quantum theory’ which posited that energy did not flow as a stream or wave as had been imagined before, but rather was carried by packets or quanta. This seemingly simple, yet deceptively complex, thesis was to have a profound effect upon our understanding of the physical universe. Planck’s thesis proved to be the foundation for the modern discipline of quantum physics, a discipline that first came to the attention of the wider public when in 1905 a young Swiss patents clerk called Albert Einstein wrote five papers for the Annalen der Physik. Three of these papers are widely accepted to be among the best in the history of physics and examined photoelectric effects by applying Planck’s new quantum theory, Brownian Motion and a ‘Special Theory of Relativity’. As Bill Bryson notes in his Short History of Nearly Everything, ‘the first won its author a Nobel Prize and explained the nature of light (and also helped make television possible among other things). The Second provided proof that atoms do indeed exist – a fact that had surprisingly, been in some dispute. The third merely changed the world’.3 Thus within two years of Michelson’s pronouncement much of our understanding of the physical universe had been turned on its head by this new development; but for Michelson worse was to follow. In 1895, a young South African named Ernest Rutherford had won a scholarship to the world famous Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. By 1911, Rutherford had become obsessed with the nature of atoms, the basic building blocks that form the constituent parts of the universe. That year he proposed his ‘theory of atomic nuclei’, which suggested that all the positive charge and most of the mass of an atom must be contained in a tiny nucleus at the atom’s centre, with the negatively charged electrons ‘in orbit’ about this nucleus. To prove his thesis Rutherford had to ‘split’ the atom to prove that he could release matter from this nucleus, something which he finally succeeded in doing in 1919 when he showed that by firing alpha-particles into nitrogen gas a small amount of hydrogen could be produced. In so doing he also established that energy could be released from the nucleus of an atom, thereby proving an essential part of Albert Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity: the unification of energy and mass, usually represented by the famous equation E=mc2.4 With Rutherford providing the link between quantum theory and nuclear physics the Newtonian view of the universe, which was at the heart of Michelson’s beliefs, had been rewritten in less that 20 years.
The famous 1927 Solvay Conference was a turning point in Physics. Scientific realists, like Albert Einstein, had lost a fundamental conflict and instrumentalists, like Niels Bohr, had won. Since then, Physics has followed the path of instrumentalists in which the quantum physics has been determined by the concept of elementary particles and probability waves. Until May 2013, when for the first time a photo had been made of the probability waves inside the hydrogen atom, it was impossible to make a photo of a non-existing complex probability wave with mass zero, but the fact could not be denied anymore and scientists had succeeded to make the “complex” and “non-existing” quantum mechanical “probability wave” visible. New discoveries, like “photonic molecules” and “photon-photon interaction”, require a new interpretation of the Copenhagen Interpretation. Since the Copenhagen Interpretation, there is still no clarity about the physical interpretation of the quantum mechanical “probability wave function”.
