QM and Kant
Science, Spirituality, and Some Mismatched Socks
Researchers Turn Up Evidence of ‘Spooky’ Quantum Behavior and Put It to Work in Encryption and Philosophy
Based on quantum behavior, Dr. d’Espagnat’s big idea is that science can only probe so far into what is real, and there’s a “veiled reality” that will always elude us.
Striking resemblance to Kantian thinking!

“Some philosophers see quantum phenomena as a sign of far greater unknown forces at work and it bolsters their view that a spiritual dimension exists.”
How the f*ck does quantum nonlocality prove that a “spiritual” dimension exists? I don’t really understand why everybody says that QT is so counterintuitive. All it tells me is that our simplistic Newtonian views of “differentiation” are rather naive.
