Part 2/11:
At the heart of physics lies an intriguing question: what is its true goal? Contrary to the traditional view that physics seeks to uncover the mathematical laws governing the universe, the reality is more nuanced. It seems that physics is more about developing models that best predict the behavior of the universe, enabling us to infer truths based on their effectiveness.
In this context, pioneers of quantum theory, such as Bohr and his colleague Werner Heisenberg, argued that physics models not the world itself but rather our observations of it. This paradigm shift emphasizes that the mathematical laws of physics do not dictate reality; instead, they relate to our understanding and experience of it.
