Quantum non-locality and relativity: metaphysical intimations of modern physics
Maudlin, Tim
The third edition of Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity has been carefully updated to reflect significant developments, including a new chapter covering important recent work in the foundations of physics. A new edition of the premier philosophical study of Bells Theorem and its implication for the relativistic account of space and time Discusses Roderich Tumiulkas explicit, relativistic theory that can reproduce the quantum mechanical violation of Bells 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 INDICE: 1.
