The article raises the question - how the scientific world of quantum physics and the universe of philosophers of antiquity relate: or they coincide; or these are different-disproportionate worlds; or there is continuity between them. Attention is drawn to the historical nature of knowledge. A distinction between philosophical and scientific ontologies is introduced; this makes it possible to show that quantum physics and ancient philosophy unfold their knowledge in various ontological concepts, so it is baseless try to compare them.
