Physics and Philosophy - Thoughts on the Implications of Quantum Mechanics, and Other Matters #7
7. Although physics and philosophy travel different paths through the world of truth, an occasional intersection may be found. When physics reaches the furthest extant of its reach, which can often be a grey, uncertain area, then philosophy holds sway. Often the philosophical species encountered will manifest as metaphysics.
