Physics and Philosophy

שו"תPhysics and Philosophy
שאל לפני 7 שנים

 
What does the Rabbi say about philosophical claims that are based on *complex* physical claims? (Complexity = claims that are more complex than a simple observation and understanding of reality)
In my opinion, physics and philosophy should not be mixed, especially astrophysics, where every few years some genius can come along and turn our entire understanding upside down, and real excuses and refutations cannot be based on something like that. I don't understand astrophysics either, so it's almost like an excuse in Chinese for me, I don't understand Chinese. In addition, physics at this level includes a lot of unknown and unclear things, and how can theoretical claims about reality be made with such a fluid thing? It's better to have an excuse that is as theoretical as possible that we can define and diagnose from every direction.
And what's more – so what, the Rambam who didn't know about the Big Bang was a 'fool' (Ha"v) for believing that the Creator exists while we are so smart that we have telescopes and we know about the Big Bang? And what will they say about us in 500 years? If this excuse is not good for the Rambam, it is also
Apparently not good and true enough for me.
On the other hand – it is impossible to ignore what we think, and completely shelve physics – but it is dangerous to use it
Therefore, in my opinion, all that physics can do is add complexity to our philosophical arguments, which will now also have to solve the physical questions.
But we cannot make philosophical claims using physics (like about creation using the big bang).
What is the Rabbi's opinion on the matter?

I didn't understand anything. To form a position on physics, you first need to study physics. Then you can form a position on whether it is well-founded or not, and whether it is superior to philosophy or not.
