Metaphysics and Quantum Physics, An Analogy A Tract Book Essay By Anthony J. Fejfar, J.D., Esq., Coif
Plato and Aristotle both discuss the metaphysical concept of Being in their academic works of philosophy. As I define Being, Being is an unrestricted act of understanding, Form of Form, The Good. Being is sometime thought to be like an Energy field, not unlike the idea of Ether that 19th century scientists used.
Some are skeptical about Being, arguing
that it does not exist. The typical response is that Being is the Unmoved Mover, and as such is a necessary concept needed to avoid an illogical, result of infinite regress. Here, however, I would like to make a different argument for the existence of Being. I argue that Being or the Being Field, is analogous to the Quantum Field. The Quantum Field has been scientifically proven to exist outside of Space-Time, and by analogy it can be argued that Being or the Being Field, exists outside of Space-Time. Similarly, the Quantum Field is said to involve meaning, and by analogy it can be argued that Being or the Being Field involves meaning or understanding. The Quantum

Field is said to involve Moderate Relativism, and by analogy it can be argued that Being or the Being Field involves Moderate Relativism. Therefore, it appears that, arguing by analogy, an argument can be made that Being does indeed exist.
