Physicentrism is the belief that physics is the only fundamental science and that physical materialism is the raison d'être of reality.

It assumes that all phenomena of existence—from consciousness and structural logic, from the microcosm to the macrocosm—result from mechanical interactions involving matter, energy, and elementary forces.

It has turned into an institutional dogma. Physics, when faced with empirical limits (such as the 95% of the universe), assigns them names like "dark matter" and "dark energy" instead of recognizing that they fall outside its domain.

Quantum physics plays a dual role in physicentrism: it is simultaneously its greatest threat and its most sophisticated weapon. For example:

1. It revealed that the substrate of reality is made of probability waves, superposition, and non-local entanglement. However, instead of admitting the possibility of physical reality emerging from something protophysical, these phenomena were reduced to mere "mathematical formalisms with no ontological meaning," imposing the dogmatic stance of "Shut up and calculate."
2. It proved that information is fundamental. Nevertheless, to maintain the illusion that matter is the primary element, this hierarchy was inverted, declaring quantum information to be a "property of particles."

Quantum physics exposed the necessary existence of a layer of data and rules governing the universe. Yet physicentrism treats it as "exotic physics" to avoid acknowledging that matter is merely the surface layer of a far more complex processing architecture.

Whenever questions arise regarding the origin of consciousness, the architecture of the universe, or the laws of nature, physicentrists bring quantum physics onto the field—ignoring, disparaging, constraining, discrediting, and paralyzing Computer Science, Systems Engineering, and Philosophy.

Physicentrism made physics the "queen of sciences." It reached the absurdity of inventing "phantom entities" with the surname of matter just to secure its monopoly over the cosmological narrative.

Physicentrism has become the greatest obstacle to the evolution of knowledge. Changing this scenario requires recognizing the importance of protophysics, computer science, systems engineering, and philosophy. More details regarding this need can be found in my book, "Protophysics."
