Experiments that test physics and philosophy as 'a single whole' may be our only route to surefire knowledge about the universe.
Experimental metaphysics allows us to test fundamental assumptions about reality using scientific methods.
* The article discusses the work of key figures like John Stewart Bell, Alain Aspect, and Eric Cavalcanti.
* Experiments testing Bell's theorem and Wigner's friend paradox have led to a deeper understanding of the nature of reality.
* The future of experimental metaphysics is promising, with ongoing research exploring the implications for our understanding of consciousness, quantum gravity, and the nature of reality itself.
The article emphasizes that experimental metaphysics is not just a philosophical exercise but a vital field of research that is pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the universe.
