Reality and Waves: A Quantum Physics Cosmology, Philosophy of
Religion, and Ethic explores how the findings of Quantum Physics
have rich implications for coping with the realities of everyday
life and for developing a Philosophy of Life. Drawing on the
insights of an early founder of the discipline, Werner Heisenberg,
Ellingsen notes that the study of microscopic realities of the atom
results in "weird" findings about reality, that it does not behave
as predictably as other Sciences would lead us to think. The
uncertainty about these realities emerges because the components of
the atom often behave like waves. Drawing on Heisenberg's
reflections it is argued that these findings can be applied to
visible reality. Just as light is in waves, even our brains embody
waves. Public opinion and historical eras are also waves. This
vision of reality explains the continuities and discontinuities in
life, the highs and lows. Relying on Heisenberg's Uncertainty
Principle and concept of Complementarity, aided by Augustinian
thinking, the case is then made for how Religion and Science can
exist side-by-side, what is provided by an appreciation of a God
Who dwells in the "stuff" of matter, a God Who perhaps binds the
particles and atoms into matter. The concept also helps us
understand how God can both determine reality and yet not be in
control in all events. In addition, it gives us confidence in
dealing with the waves of life and helps us appreciate how a good
God still governs in the midst of pandemics, injustices, and
tragedies.
