There is much emphasis placed upon philosophical questions related to physics with a bias to the philosophy of reductionism. In addition there are new inspirational directions for quantum mechanics that are discussed including a theory of life from first principles and an experimental direction for instant communication in quantum mechanics. A philosophical world view is also postulated in the context of the information interpretation.
