  • Quantum Reality

    The Quest for the Real Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - a Game of Theories

    by Jim Baggott ...
    Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. It is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that are at once both alive and dead; and lots of seemingly spooky goings-on. But if we're prepared to be a little more specific about what we mean when we ... Read more

  • Quantum Physics: A First Encounter : Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

    Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

    by Valerio Scarani ; Rachael Thew ...
    Quantum physics is often perceived as a weird and abstract theory, which physicists must use in order to make correct predictions. But many recent experiments have shown that the weirdness of the theory simply mirrors the weirdness of phenomena: it is Nature itself, and not only our description of it, that behaves in an astonishing way. This book selects those, among these typical quantum ... Read more

  • Einstein, Relativity and Absolute Simultaneity

    Edited by William Lane Craig, Quentin Smith ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy
    Einstein, Relativity and Absolute Simultaneity is an anthology of original essays by an international team of leading philosophers and physicists who have come together to reassess the contemporary paradigm of the relativistic concept of time. A great deal has changed since 1905 when Einstein proposed his Special Theory of Relativity, and this book offers a fresh reassessment of Special Relativity ... Read more

  • Discrete or Continuous?

    The Quest for Fundamental Length in Modern Physics

    by Amit Hagar ...
    The idea of infinity plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe, with the infinite spacetime continuum perhaps the best-known example - but is spacetime really continuous? Throughout the history of science, many have felt that the continuum model is an unphysical idealization, and that spacetime should be thought of as 'quantized' at the smallest of scales. Combining novel ... Read more
