Quantum Mechanics and the Principle of Non-Contradiction

Lesson Twelve of Aquinas 101, with Fr Thomas Davenport, OP, PhD, Asst Professor of Physics, Providence College.


Quantum Mechanics is weird and counterintuitive, but it is not contradictory. Fr. Davenport breaks down the famous "Schroedingers' Cat" thought experiment and shows that a traditional understanding of truth and falsity continues to hold in quantum mechanics and in reality as a whole.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
