Quantum Mechanics and the Philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead

A tough read but a good read. Marred in the first section by the overuse of the word ontology and its variants, it picked up significantly in the second only to fall away again in the summary. This metaphysical scheme, I believe, is a good way to describe the evolution of quantum mechanics or even the universe, but I do not believe that it has any purpose in attempting to describe the creation of it, since the rules of physics started after the big bang. There is no reason to conclude that the universe was coherent at its beginning or that the rules that govern the universe now governed it then. Quantum mechanics is symmetrical and it is believed that the universe follows suit in that every-thing has its anti-thing and so the universe sums to zero, or net zero. Causations requires something by necessity precedes it but that argument breaks down as it is believed that all causes have to have a beginning and we cannot use the turtle argument as mention in Hawkings "A brief history of time" where the earth is supported by a infinity of turtles, so we can reasonably conclude, without divine intervention, that something from nothing is a better explanation philosophically and that this metaphysical scheme is not designed to push back beyond the point where the physical rules of the universe had not yet come into existence.
