Abstract

According to modern quantum physics, the movement of elementary particles is induced by such factors as gravity, beta decay as well as nuclear and electric forces. Naturally, there may be many other reasons that influence the aforementioned movement and whose existence remains unknown even despite having at our disposal all current knowledge. Nonetheless, we know that our reality at the quantum level is in constant motion – which basically means that, regardless of either direct or indirect causes that keep activating it – while it needs to be recognized that, logically speaking, there must be some essential cause that puts “all the machinery” into motion. Thus, it can be considered legitimate to make use of “the argument of motion”, a concept elaborated by Saint Thomas Aquinas, to discover the properties of the above-mentioned cause. However, one must reject the physics used by the medieval philosopher and construct a metaphysical reflection on modern quantum physics. As a result of such consideration, we start to envisage the first cause that can be characterised as completely devoid of any movement as well as being beyond time and change; in additon, it has always existed and can never cease to exist while its presence is referred to as both simutaneous and invariable. It has no complexity but is rational at the same time.
