Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity (3rd Ed.) Metaphysical Intimations of Modern Physics
Auteur : Maudlin Tim
- A new edition of the premier philosophical study of Bell?s Theorem and its implication for the relativistic account of space and time
- Discusses Roderich Tumiulka?s explicit, relativistic theory that can reproduce the quantum mechanical violation of Bell?s inequality.
- Discusses the "Free Will Theorem" of John Conway and Simon Kochen
- Introduces philosophers to the relevant physics and demonstrates how philosophical analysis can help inform physics
