In episode 13, we took a tongue-in-cheek look at some of the very literal ways in which people interpret the Bible. Philosophy and Law say that it is your personal right to have any belief system and to act it out as if it were true, given that the enactment does not impinge on the rights of others. However, last week’s show ended without resolving a particular issue: is there an absolute truth, one fundamental original intention embedded in holy scriptures, like the Bible? If so, how do we find it and how will we know whether it is true or not? There are so many conflicting, unprovable interpretations of holy texts each competing for the greatest following, like corporations that strive to increase market share. Given all the different kinds of beliefs, how do we test which one is factual and which are mistaken? Today we turn to the principles of quantum mechanics to try to prove that every belief there is or ever has been, is true.
