Concepts and premises should both adjust upon contradictions, even at high velocity and subatomic scales.
Warren C. Gibson. “Modern Physics versus Objectivism.” The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies, vol. 13, no. 2, 2013, pp. 140–59. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.5325/jaynrandstud.13.2.0140. Accessed 16 June 2024. "Leonard Peikoff and David Harriman have denounced modern physics as incompatible with Objectivist metaphysics and epistemology. Physics, they say, must return to a Newtonian viewpoint; much of relativity theory must go, along with essentially all of quantum mechanics, string theory, and modern cosmology. In their insistence on justifications in terms of “physical nature,” they cling to a macroscopic worldview that doesn't work in the high-velocity arena of relativity or the subatomic level of quantum mechanics. It is suggested that the concept of identity be widened to accommodate the probabilistic nature of quantum phenomena."

I completely agree with Peikoff and Harriman
Already in the 1920's Alfred Korzybski was warning:
“Bending facts to theories is a constant danger, whereas bending theories to facts is essential to science. Epistemologically, the fundamental theories must develop in converging lines of investigation, and if they do not converge, it is an indication that there are flaws in the theories, and they are revised.” ([1], page liii) Alfred Korzybski, 1921

Following his recommendation, and going back to Wilhelm Wien's 1901 project to consider electromagnetic mechanics as a better foundation to both kinematic and electromagnetic mechanics rather than kinematic mechanics chosen in 1907, the following developments were progressively described:

This is true, but in order to linker the theory of general relativity and the quantum world into one law that answers the question: How does the quantum leap occur, my equation explained that.
In other words, that the electron disappears from one level and appears at the other level without crossing the distance between the levels between them. What is the explanation for the disappearance of the electron in one level and its appearance in another level? What my equation tells me is that the electron remains fixed in its position and does not gain energy.
But what gains energy is the fabric of space-time, which causes the upper level to contract, making it the same size as the electron’s orbit, and this makes the electron disappear and appear in the upper level.

The unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity have always been an important problem in modern physics. Relativity mainly studies space-time, quantum mechanics mainly studies microscopic particles. First, based on the operator form of quantum mechanics, we discuss the space-time operator and its generalization, and propose some operator equa...
Beautifully illustrated and engagingly written, Lectures on Quantum Mechanics presents theoretical physics with a breathtaking array of examples and anecdotes. Basdevant's style is clear and stimulating, in the manner of a brisk classroom lecture that students can follow with ease and enjoyment. Here is a sample of the book's style, from the openin...
