2022 Nobel Prize in Physics and the End of Mechanistic Materialism. Part 2: Realism and Locality

Here we discuss in more detail the implications of such outcomes, and what are the possible ways that our worldviews can be modified to account for the experimental facts. As we will see, the standard mechanistic picture of the universe is no longer a viable option, and it will never be again. Nowadays, we know this with certainty unusual for physics, that only a strict mathematical theorem could provide. We hope, that the 2022 Nobel Prizes in Physics will help to draw attention to the scientific and philosophical revolution that took place almost half a century ago (with the first Bell tests), and that the clock-like picture of reality will soon be widely recognized for what it is – the “flat Earth” of the philosophy of science.
