Religion and Quantum Physics on the Worldview: What a Journalist Writing about Scientific Discoveries in the Context of Modern Technological Civilization Needs to Know?

Introduction . The purpose of the study is to attempt to define the guidelines and vector of opportunities in the profession of a science journalist for understanding the world of quantum physics relying on key ways of knowing. Through the media representation of the scientist’s work, we gain insight into the foundations of scientific knowledge. Understanding this fact actualizes in the new context the implications of the key problems and achievements of quantum nanoscience for humanity as a whole. Materials and Methods . Descriptive and analytical methods are used to determine the specifics of the work of a science journalist. Comparative analysis showed the similarity and difference of opinions popular in the research field on being, nature and man, thereby indicating the loyal relationship between religion and science, in particular, quantum physics. Results . Science journalists bear a humanistic mission. They should lead society and the intellectually developed person to moral improvement. It makes sense for a specialist, who works in the scientific media field, to master basic philosophical concepts, take into account the conventional nature of science, as well as the existing line between the illusory and the real, objectively perceiving current scientific thought so that they will be able to become an effective link between the research organization and the target audience or the so-called “smart non-experts”. Discussion and Conclusion . When a journalist cultivates in the target audience a stimulus for further knowledge, they should take into account the fact of the spiritual development of the individual. Society expects that science as a social phenomenon will provide certain new and safe advanced technologies. Knowledge based on the laws of quantum physics is constantly changing, influencing, in turn, a person and the formation of their moral responsibility. A journalist who popularizes and disseminates the advanced technologies ought to be wary of the risk of science profanation or technological fetishism in their work. It is important to take into account the internal dialogue between the scientific and religious worldviews for greater transparency and value correctness.
