Quantum theory and the schism in physics (The Postscript to The logic of scientific discovery / as edited by W.W. Bartley, III) – Karl R. Popper Goedkoop

The basic theme of Popper’s philosophy–that something can come from nothing–is related to the present situation in physical theory. Popper carries his investigation right to the center of current debate in quantum physics. He proposes an interpretation of physics–and indeed an entire cosmology–which is realist, conjectural, deductivist and objectivist, anti-positivist, and anti-instrumentalist. He stresses understanding, reminding us that our ignorance grows faster than our conjectural knowledge.
