Description

Explore the profound impact of quantum theory with Beyond Measure by Oxford University Press. This work examines one of the most successful theories in modern physical science, a field that currently underpins approximately 30 per cent of the global manufacturing economy. Despite its massive practical success, quantum theory remains a subject of deep mystery and debate. This book brings readers up to date with the latest results from experimental tests regarding quantum non-locality and complementarity. It provides a clear look at the current state of physical science and the questions that remain unanswered. Beyond the math and the experiments, the text reviews modern thinking on various alternative interpretations. Readers will encounter discussions on pilot waves, decoherence, consciousness, many worlds, and the intersection of physics and God. It is a comprehensive look at the frontiers of science and the philosophy that attempts to make sense of our quantum reality.
