Quantum Mechanics
Historical Contingency and the Copenhagen Hegemony
Häftad, 1994
551 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Why does one theory "succeed" while another, possibly clearer interpretation, fails? By exploring two observationally equivalent, yet conceptually incompatible, views of quantum mechanics, James T. Cushing shows how historical contingency can be crucial to determining a theory's construction and …
Philosophical Consequences of Quantum Theory
Reflections on Bell's Theorem
Av James T. Cushing, Ernan McMullin
Inbunden, 1989
1537 kr
Lägg i varukorg
From the beginning, the implications of quantum theory for our most general understanding of the world have been a matter of intense debate. The contributors to this volume wrestle with questions such as how can a clash between the two fundamental theories of modern physics, relativity and quantum …

From the beginning, the implications of quantum theory for our most general understanding of the world have been a matter of intense debate. Einstein argues that the theory had to be regarded as fundamentally incomplete. Its inability, for example, to predict the exact time of decay of a single …
Theory Construction and Selection in Modern Physics
The S Matrix
Häftad, 2005

One of the major philosophical problems in physical sciences is what criteria should determine how scientific theories are selected and justified in practice and whether, in describing observable physical phenomena, such theories are effectively constrained to be unique. This book studies the …

This book examines a selection of philosophical issues in the context of specific episodes in the development of physical theories. Advances in science are presented against the historical and philosophical backgrounds in which they occurred. A major aim is to impress upon the reader the essential …
Bohmian Mechanics and Quantum Theory: An Appraisal
Av James T. Cushing, J.T. Cushing m. fl.
Inbunden, 1996

Lägg i varukorg
We are often told that quantum phenomena demand radical revisions of our scientific world view and that no physical theory describing well defined objects, such as particles described by their positions, evolving in a well defined way, let alone deterministically, can account for such phenomena. …
