QUANTUM THEOLOGY : M. M. NINAN<br />

cannot define God and use it as an axiom for further logical<br />

derivation. It should be the other way round. Our understanding<br />

of God is limited by how God reveals himself to us through<br />

history.<br />

Personally I believe that the fact that we are left with a<br />

probabilistic aspect for any given observable is indicative of the<br />

reality that we are not really dealing with a materialistic world<br />

alone. This cosmos itself is only a subset of a wider set and our<br />

space-time is only a small part of the infinite dimensions of the<br />

reality. We can never describe the state with the observables<br />

within the real world because there is an unseen world beyond<br />

and the state vector exists in this multi-dimension.<br />

This multidimensional aspect was even present in the<br />

elementary Bohr Theory of Hydrogen where the vector model<br />

was successfully employed. Angular momentum quantum<br />

numbers and the spin quantum numbers were obtained by<br />

projection of a vector along the magnetic field of reference.<br />
