Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 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 radioactive atom had to be due to a failure of the theory and not due to a permanent inability on our part or a fundamental indeterminism in nature itself. In 1964, John Bell derived a theorem which showed that any deterministic theory which preserved "locality" (i.e., which rejected action at a distance) would have certain consequences for measurements performed at a distance from one another. An experimental check seems to show that these consequences are not, in fact, realized. The correlation between the sets of events is much stronger than any "local" deterministic theory could allow. What is more, this stronger correlation is precisely that which is predicted by quantum theory. The astonishing result is that local deterministic theories of the classical sort seem to be permanently excluded. Not only can the individual decay not be predicted, but no future theory can ever predict it. The contributors in this volume wrestle with this conclusion. Some welcome it; others leave open a return to at lease some kind of deterministic world, one which must however allow something like action-at-a distance. How much lit it? And how can one avoid violating relativity theory, which excludes action-at-a-distance? How can a clash between the two fundamental theories of modern physics, relativity and quantum theory, be avoided? What are the consequences for the traditional philosophic issue of causality explanation and objectivity? One thing is certain; we can never return to the comfortable Newtonian world where everything that happened was, in principle, predictable and where what happened at one measurement site could not affect another set of measurements being performed light-years away, at a distance that a light-signal could not bridge.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. CUSHING S MANUAL REVISED BY JOHN J. INGALLS 1895 SMALL HARD COVER VERY GOOD. I am pleased to present a small hard cover book of this classic work, still in very good condition, titled: Cushing s Manual, or the Manual of Parliamentary Practice Rules of Proceeding and Debate in Deliberative Assemblies, by Luther S. Cushing (Revised to date by John James Ingalls, President of the United States Senate, 1887-1891). It also includes an Appendix with a copy of the Constitution of the United States. I have seen and sold this book in the past but finally focused on the Editor s Preface which tells us more about Cushing, to wit: Luther Stearns Cushing was born June 22, 1803, in Lunenburg, Mass, and died in Boston, on his birthday, 1856. He was clerk of the house of representatives of Massachusetts in 1832, judge of the court of common pleas in 1844, and reporter to the supreme court in 1848He was a learned and discriminating jurist but his chief claim to distinction rests upon his studies of parliamentary law There is more but I test your patience. This small hard cover book (3 ¾ x 5 ¾ inches, 244 pages) was published by A.L. Burt Company of New York, copyright 1895. It is bound in red cloth with gilt titles on cover and spine. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The red hard covers are generally clean and presentable and the gilt titles, although small, are still fully legible. There has been some minor bumping to the corners and spine tips. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright throughout, completely devoid of toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
