Quantum ontology

Quantum ontology

Quantum ontology is based on the idea that the underlying reality of quantum mechanics fundamentally alters the nature of mankind's (and, by extension, any other sentient race's) ontological existence.

For a fictional treatment of quantum ontological themes, see the works of science fiction writer Greg Egan.
