The Philosophy Crisis of Theoretical Physics
Abstract
Theoretical Physics emerges from natural science and are always part of natural philosophy. Therefore, there is necessitates for us to look back at the fundamental assumptions, models and concepts of the theories already there and the philosophical underpinnings or underlying conceptual framework behind them. In this paper, we examine some of the most well-known theories and some of the most profound inconsistencies inherent in their bases. From this, we contend that the fundamental axiomatic mandate and objective of theoretical physics need to be reassessed and restructured by the humanity as a whole. This requires the physics community and the broader humanity to rethink about the epistemic structure of physics and thus could not be determined by any single person or entities. So, we provided some tentatively clues about the possible redefinition of these philosophy concepts and the possible direction to a new unified theory. Our work offers a novel perspective on the traditional theory of our time and opens up a new space for future subsequent research and discussions.
