Quantum Logic: Logic of False True
Author(s):
Abstract:
Quantum mechanics replaced the traditional mechanics in the early twentieth century. To study Schrodinger’s wave equation, whose position in this new mechanics is like the status of Newton’s movement laws in traditional mechanics, numerous philosophical statements have been offered, one of which is ‘quantum logic’. The founders of quantum logic claim that on the basis of their observations in quantum level, the traditional logic, which previously served as the measurement for right and wrong arguments, lacks the proper efficiency and must be replaced by one of the expressions of quantum logic. In the present article, while shortly introducing quantum mechanics and quantum logic, we have avoided entering the formal discussions of quantum logic and used analytical method to investigate the possibility of replacing the traditional logic with quantum logic. According to this study, it was clarified that one must regard quantum logic just as a mathematical formulization, not an alternative logic, because firstly it is dependent on a certain statement of Schrodinger’s equation, and secondly, one must use traditional logic to falsify it. Applying this logic to traditional and quantum logic would result in truth and falsehood of both logics and not falsehood of traditional logic and truth of alternative logic.
