Ayn Rand’s philosophy, Objectivism, begins by embracing the basic fact that existence exists. Reality is, and in the quest to live we must discover reality’s nature and learn to act successfully in it.
To exist is to be something, to possess a specific identity. This is the Law of Identity: A is A. Facts are facts, independent of any consciousness.
On other side, In quantum mechanics the double-slit experiments clearly demonstrate the ways in which the particles interfere with each other as the electrons pass through the slits and spread out in waves. The experiments also demonstrate the wave-particle duality of subatomic material and the role that observance plays in particle behavior. When the electrons are observed, they behave like physical particles. When they are not observed, they behave like waves.
So How can we justify and came up with a consistent and logical answer based on Rand's objectivism?
