The Quantum Enigma: Finding the Hidden Key - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Following upon the overthrow of the classical world picture by the findings of quantum mechanics, physicists have proposed a broad gamut of alternative world views. The present book begins with the major recognition that each of these suffers from a certain "residual Cartesianism" that has been smuggled in, as it were, unconsciously. It turns out, moreover, that the moment one discards this hidden and problematic premise, quantum theory begins to "make sense" in a way that it never has before. As the author goes on to show, it now becomes possible, for the first time, to integrate the findings of quantum physics into a world view that is neither forced nor ad hoc, but conforms to the permanent intuitions of mankind.
Surprisingly, this treatise can be read with pleasure and profit, not only by scientists, but also by readers previously unacquainted with the technical conceptions of physics or the quantum-reality literature.
