Physics does not know the concept of good or the concept of evil. All processes in the real world occur according to the strict and precise laws that apply to the material world, regardless of how they appear to the thinking subject. These concepts belong to the spiritual realm, which differs from the material in principle, so at first glance – it seems that physics cannot say anything trivial about the problem of good and evil. It should be noted. However, that good and evil are not – at least for the most part – “a priori” given as finished and once and for all given phenomena, but that they are categories that are generated only as a consequence of certain processes, while the same process may, depending on the circumstances, appear once as good, other times as evil. A large amount of rain is perceived as evil (flood) in a certain locality, while the same phenomenon if it took place in a parched country, would appear as a blessing.<\/h2>\n
Thus, things and phenomena are profiled as good or bad (judged from a human point of view) only in the process of “becoming” in certain specific circumstances. Hence, they represent categories related to the dynamics of processes taking place in certain specific “borderline” and “initial” \u201cConditions. The problem formulated in this way characterizes one of the basic tasks of physics: based on known laws, to find, under precisely formulated boundary and initial conditions, the states through which the system will go in its evolution. It seems, therefore, that the results that physics has developed in this endeavor could, at least to some extent, be instructive for considerations relating to the general controversy over the categories of good and evil. We will try to show that physics can really contribute to it with interesting and surprising “outputs.”<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
