No! Probability is a measure of uncertainty; a human created concept. But things like mass & charge describe properties that actually exist in the external world. Think of relativistic invariance: all observers agree upon these measurables. There is no analog in probability.

Check out quantum mechanics if you think probability is less concrete than mass.

what is a table to an ant? "Table" is a mental concept that can't exist without humans. But it's not psychology. It's furniture. So with spin, mass, charge, it's physics.

Wave function throws me off. It measures “probability.”

They exist even without our abstract representations of them. Am I missing the point? The tree that falls without no one seeing still falls...

It makes no difference one way or the other in practice. But do you think the concept “abstract representations” exist without humans or life? If yes, how? If not, then why do some concepts exist and others not?

Modern accounts claim these are nomological variables that relate a theory to some primitive ontology. This means they are metaphysics. They are human constructs and mor importantly the theories they support are underdetermined by experiments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdetermination …

Some time ago, some cavemen believed a tiger was something more like physics and some others something more like psychology.
