David Hume said that although a mountain exists and gold exists, a golden mountain is not real. In the same manner, we cannot simply combine abstractions of reality and assume they refer in any meaningful way to reality.If you are a physicist, prepare to have many of your beliefs shaken to the ground. This book shows that many of the abstract notions in contemporary physics, like probability distribution and entanglement are merely golden mountains. But this book does not only perform a harsh demystification of contemporary physics, it also shows a way out of the current stagnation by proposing an alternative theoretical framework (called Basic Phenomenal Objects). In stark contrast with contemporary physics, this new framework provides a sound ontological basis on which you can build your own theoretical innovations. So step on board and help to lead physics out of a stagnation that hindered its fundamental development for over 70 years already.
