There's an old joke that when a student asks a physics professor about the philosophical import of QM, he is told to shut up and calculate. Math-conversant philosopher Barrett analyzes possibilities flowing from the work of Hugh Everett. Everett is often regarded as the father of the "many worlds" interpretation of QM, but that is only one interpretation of Everett's interpretation! Not easy reading. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Jeffrey Barrett presents the most comprehensive study yet of a problem that has puzzled physicists and philosophers since the 1930s. The standard theory of quantum mechanics is in one sense the most successful physical theory ever, predicting the behaviour of the basic constituents of allphysical things; no other theory has ever made such accurate empirical predictions. However, if one tries to understand the theory as providing a complete and accurate framework for the description of the behaviour of all physical interactions, it becomes evident that the theory is ambiguous, oreven logically inconsistent. The most notable attempt to formulate the theory so as to deal with this problem, the quantum measurement problem, was initiated by Hugh Everett III in the 1950s. Barrett gives a careful and challenging examination and evaluation of the work of Everett and those whohave followed him. His informal approach, minimizing technicality, will make the book accessible and illuminating for philosophers and physicists alike. Anyone interested in the interpretation of quantum mechanics should read it. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
