Ancient atomism and modern physics: the search for the unified theory in the context of (in) determination

<p>The Research Group “Physics and Humanities”, based in the Brazilian Center of Physics Research (BCPR), has worked on building dialogues between Physics and Humanities, particularly regarding philosophical questions applied to quantum mechanics (QM). The present article intends to establish...
