I see, nishi.
So even though the double slit is akin to a mental experiment (in that it naturally asks if particles are sentient and what effect the observer could possibly have, even though I did not ask you either and you still concluded I was suggesting particle nanocars) you cannot bring yourself a perspective that simply allows itself to ask to what level of reducibility you will, in faith and by asserted intent, go in search of irreducibility.
This simple mental experiment is pointless, because, you know, you’ll prove the merit of science either by reducing stuff forever or by reducing it to the point you have to accept that it floats on a entity or entities that simple are. And that simply do.
In other words, The Bottom Turtle, an act of supreme faith (at least until the CERN fires up at which point you’re faithfully sure you’ll answer all why’s with all facts about the nature of all things.)
“We shall not waste time speculating about supernatural “motivations” when we plan to discover physical ones.”
But we shall not first deduce what “supernatural” means, or for that matter (no pun) what abstract or semantic device limits if from the “natural”.
Lovely. The trees of logic lost in a forest of faith. Outcome bowing to procedure, the unapproved to the approved, the question to the assertion, and the observation to the presumption.
