Physics and Metaphysics: Protevi et al.

A wonderful discussion is underway here. I've been studying as much as I can in physics for about two years now, reading as many Nature papers as I can and so forth, reading some textbooks. My general conclusion is that physicists are not good at saying exactly what they are doing, and that they tend to start from a position that is surprisingly in line with correlationism. In particular this applies to standard model quantum theory. I really do think we should step up to the plate and talk about physics, at the risk of being wrong or foolish.
