Quantum Mechanics and Experience (Albert - pbk)

Binding: paperback

Section: Science/Nature

The more science tells us about the world, the stranger it looks. It has literally been called into question since then whether or not there are always objective matters of fact about the whereabouts of subatomic particles, or about the locations of tables and chairs, or even about the very contents of our thoughts. This book is an original and provocative investigation of that challenge, a lucid and self-contained introduction to the foundations of quantum mechanics, and a rigorous discussion of the most important recent advances in our understanding of that subject, some of which are due to the author himself.
