It explains why the sun shines and how your eyes can see. It's the theory behind the LEDs in your phone and the nuclear hearts of space probes. Every physicist agrees quantum physics is spectacularly successful. But ask them what quantum physics means, and the result will be a brawl. At stake is the nature of the Universe itself. What does it mean for something to be real? What is the role of consciousness in the Universe? And do quantum rules apply to very small objects like electrons and protons, but not us? In What is Real?, Adam Becker brings to vivid life the brave researchers whose quest for the truth led them to challenge Bohr: David Bohm, who picked up Einstein's mantle and sought to make quantum mechanics deterministic, all while being hounded by the forces of McCarthyism ; Hugh Everett, who argued that everything, big and small, must be governed by the same rules ; and John Bell, who went to great lengths to eradicate the power of the god-like observer from the core of quantum physics. And they paid dearly, their reputations, careers, and sometimes lives ruined completely. But history has been kinder to them than their contemporaries were. As Becker shows, the brave intellectual giants have inspired a growing army of physicists and philosophers intent both on making a philosophically more satisfying theory of the universe and a more useful one as well. A gripping story of some of humanity's greatest ideas and the high cost with which many have pursued them, What is Real? is intellectual history at its passionate best Théorie quantique (RERO)A021004808 rero Philosophie (RERO)A021004135 rero Interprétation (RERO)A021017190 rero Quantum theory Quantum theory Philosophy GRUNDPROBLEME DER QUANTENTHEORIE ger (ETHUDK)000014285 ethudk ONTOLOGIE (PHILOSOPHIE) ger (ETHUDK)000009378 ethudk PHILOSOPHIE DER PHYSIK ger (ETHUDK)000041183 ethudk POPULARISIERUNG DER WISSENSCHAFT ger (ETHUDK)000009018 ethudk u GRUNDPROBLEME DER QUANTENTHEORIE ger 530.145.1 nebis E1 u ONTOLOGIE (PHILOSOPHIE) ger 111.1 nebis E1 u PHILOSOPHIE DER PHYSIK ger 530.1%140.8 nebis E1 u POPULARISIERUNG DER WISSENSCHAFT ger 001.92 nebis E1 u PROBLÈMES FONDAMENTAUX EN THÉORIE DES QUANTA fre 530.145.1 nebis E1 u BASIC PROBLEMS IN QUANTUM THEORY eng 530.145.1 nebis E1 u ONTOLOGY (PHILOSOPHY) eng 111.1 nebis E1 u ONTOLOGIE (PHILOSOPHIE) fre 111.1 nebis E1 u PHILOSOPHIE DE LA PHYSIQUE fre 530.1%140.8 nebis E1 u PHILOSOPHY OF PHYSICS eng 530.1%140.8 nebis E1 u POPULAR SCIENCE eng 001.92 nebis E1 u SCIENCE POPULAIRE fre 001.92 nebis E1 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 146 E01-20180625 RERO RE61014 RE61014 RE610140021 530.145 BEC NEBIS E01 E01 MG T 83966 RERO 100 1- Becker Adam 1984- (IDREF)227228057 cre NEBIS 100 1- Becker Adam 1984- (DE-588)115656140X Verfasser aut NEBIS EAD50 EBI01 E01 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/e01_978-1-4736-6135-6_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf SWISSBIB 524546533
