Abstract. The paper discusses the 2022 Nobel
Prize in physics for experiments of entanglement “establishing the violation of
Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science” in a much wider,
including philosophical context legitimizing by the authority of the Nobel
Prize a new scientific area out of “classical” quantum mechanics relevant to
Pauli’s “particle” paradigm of energy conservation and thus to the Standard
model obeying it. One justifies the eventual future theory of quantum
gravitation as belonging to the newly established quantum information science.
Entanglement, involving non-Hermitian operators for its rigorous description,
non-unitarity as well as nonlocal and superluminal physical signals “spookily”
(by Einstein’s flowery epithet) synchronizing and transferring some nonzero
action at a distance, can be considered to be quantum gravity so that its local
counterpart to be Einstein’s gravitation according to general relativity
therefore pioneering an alternative pathway to quantum gravitation different
from the “secondary quantization” of the Standard model. So, the experiments of
entanglement once they have been awarded by the Nobel Prize launch particularly
the relevant theory of quantum gravitation grounded on “quantum information
science” thus granted to be nonclassical quantum mechanics in the shared
framework of the generalized quantum mechanics obeying rather
quantum-information conservation than only energy conservation. The concept of
“dark phase” of the universe naturally linked to the very well confirmed “dark
matter” and “dark energy” and opposed to its “light phase” inherent to
classical quantum mechanics and the Standard model obeys quantum-information conservation,
after which reversible causality or the mutual transformation of energy and
information are valid. The mythical Big Bang after which energy conservation
holds universally is to be replaced by an omnipresent and omnitemporal medium
of decoherence of the dark and nonlocal phase into the light and local phase.
The former is only an integral image of the latter and borrowed in fact rather
from religion than from science. Physical, methodological and proper
philosophical conclusions follow from that paradigm shift heralded by the 2022
Nobel Prize in physics. For example, the scientific theory of thinking should
originate from the dark phase of the universe, as well: probably only
approximately modeled by neural networks physically belonging to the light
phase thoroughly. A few crucial philosophical sequences follow from the break
of Pauli’s paradigm: (1) the establishment of the “dark” phase of the universe
as opposed to its “light” phase, only to which the Cartesian dichotomy of
“body” and “mind” is valid; (2) quantum information conservation as relevant to
the dark phase, furthermore generalizing energy conservation as to its light
phase, productively allowing for physical entities to appear “ex nihilo”, i.e.,
from the dark phase, in which energy and time are yet inseparable from each other;
(3) reversible causality as inherent to the dark phase; (4) the interpretation
of gravitation only mathematically: as an interpretation of the incompleteness
of finiteness to infinity, for example, following the Gödel dichotomy (“either
contradiction or incompleteness”) about the relation of arithmetic to set
theory; (5) the restriction of the concept of hierarchy only to the light
phase; (6) the commensurability of both physical extremes of a quantum and the
universe as a whole in the dark phase obeying quantum information conservation
and akin to Nicholas of Cusa’s philosophical and theological worldview.
