I was suggesting that Nietzsche's subjectivism influenced physics.

Is this correct?

Kant says the existence of reality is unknowable (without faith). Hegel infers from this that everything is consciousness. Nietzsche and other contemporary "realists" imply reality is not reality.

I am going way out here. There are two sides in philosophy, believers and unbelievers. THe unbelievers are consistent in their total skepticism exhibited by Nietzsche, but mostly they live in dialectical tension between what they supress (God's revelation in nature and upon their own moral being) and what they espouse (I believe in no "god"). Which is why they alternate (depending on what's convienent) between irrationalism ("have a little humility, the cosmos is mysterious, no one can really be sure....") and rationalism ("but science has PROVEN.....we KNOW Christianity is wrong because of....").
