Whether you've loved the book or not, if you give your honest and detailed thoughts then people will find new books that are right for them. Now you may not be interested in this question. Observers don’t have this viewpoint. "—, "A useful introduction to the history of quantum theory for scientifically inclined readers. Einstein’s objections never caught on, but successors have had some success. One thing I can recommend is this article As an antidote to this, I highly recommend the following posting by Reinhard Werner, a first-rate mathematical physicist, who has made numerous contributions to quantum information, for those of you who do not know him: https://tjoresearchnotes.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/guest-post-on-bohmian-mechanics-by-reinhard-f-werner/.
: The Unfinished Quest for the Meaning of Quantum Physics.
Update: Some comments from Adam Becker, the author of the book. Jahren’s journey from struggling student to struggling scientist has the narrative tension of a novel and characters she imbues with real depth. ‧ How do you do that? © Copyright 2020 Kirkus Media LLC. Adam Becker's wonderful book recounts the colorful history of the reality debates, and makes the case that Einstein was right all along."—. Becker pretty much ignores the problems with this “explanation”, other than mentioning that one needs to explain the resulting probability measure. His book reads like a novel. I don’t really know what that means. Did the story grip you and keep you turning the pages? To get an idea of the problem, here’s some of the promotional text for the book (yes, I know that this kind of text sometimes is exaggerated for effect): A mishmash of solipsism and poor reasoning, [the] Copenhagen [interpretation] claims that questions about the fundamental nature of reality are meaningless. Focus on your thoughts and feelings about the story and the way it was told.
Her novels for teenagers include Split by a Kiss, Swapped by a Kiss and Kiss Date Love Hate. Hope this isn’t OT and/or too basic to merit inclusion in the discussion.
Many Worlds is short and to the point: The problem with Copenhagen is that it leaves measurement unexplained; how does a measurement select one outcome from many? But that does not mean that multiverse theories are unscientific. I just read a print copy last night, presumably it should appear online soon here [Review now available here].
She lives in Devon, England, and has two young children. Thorough in its detailed treatment of the key players and their contributions, "Quantum mechanics is astoundingly successful, but its proper meaning and interpretation remains an open question that vexes physicists to this day. It may very well shed light on some of the debates between interpretations that have gone on over the years, but ones that I’ve long ago lost interest in. There’s a new popular book out this week about the interpretation of quantum mechanics, Adam Becker’s What is Real? Landsman – Foundations of Quantum Theory – From Classical Concepts to Operator Algebras (2017) on your list of read books about Quantum Physics? -- anything relevant to the book and the author's authority. He makes a convincing case that it's wrong to imagine the Copenhagen interpretation as a single official or even coherent statement. The invocation of strings and multiverses for the many-worlds idea is hilarious — many-worlds dates from the 1950s, about 30 years before the rise of string theory as we know it now and 40+ years before the “landscape.” This is like string theory “predicting” Kaluza-Klein, inflation, gauge theory, general covariance, and what-not, long after those made their appearance. The real problems are the ones that Peter Woit and I have mentioned, the “preferred-basis” problem as to why the universe “splits” along certain directions in Hilbert space and not in other directions, and the “probability-measure” problem as to how the multiple universes lead to Born’s rule.
If the book is part of a series, it can be useful to mention this, and whether you think you'd need to have read other books in the series to enjoy this one. It’s hard to say what the general consensus is, I haven’t run any polls. Part of the problem with this good vs. evil story is that, as the book itself explains, it’s not at all clear what the “Copenhagen interpretation” actually is, other than a generic name for the point of view the generation of theorists such as Bohr, Heisenberg, Pauli, Wigner and von Neumann developed as they struggled to reconcile quantum and classical mechanics. Non-fiction summary should focus on the premise of the book, how that premise is presented and backed up, and what the author adds to the subject matter.

Categories: of Hawaii) delivers a personal memoir and a paean to the natural world. This is not a point against Many-Worlds, as there is no explanation for objective probabilities in single-world quantum mechanics either.
World mangling doesn’t seem to help much. The review will be online at nybooks.com tomorrow at noon. Vivid biographical portraits enliven even dense theoretical explanations with wit and bite.... With his crisp voice, Becker lucidly relates the complicated history of quantum foundations. ‘What Is Real?’ Review: Quarks and Quandaries Many physicists sidestep the philosophical puzzles altogether, preferring to “shut up and calculate.” Use the Bookfinder to find the perfect book for you, your family and friends.
https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0506082. He has clearly done extensive and meticulous historical research. Everett’s proposal keeps all outcomes alive, but this simply substitutes one problem for another: how does a measurement split apart parallel outcomes that were previously in intimate contact?
Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn’t seen it before and haven’t had a chance to look at it closely.
Here is a simple question of physical ontology.

For a century, most physicists have followed Niels Bohr’s Copenhagen interpretation and dismissed questions about the reality underlying quantum physics as meaningless. "—, "Admirably explains the intricacies of quantum physics...[Becker] brings to the foreground the hegemonic nature of a dominant scientific theory in crushing dissent. Thanks for the comment and link. For example: younger readers, older readers, fans of relationship drama/mystery stories/comedy.
Only to a God’s eye point of view do all the outcomes occur. "—, "A page turner...Becker writes very well...To any one with more than a passing interest in QM, how it came to be the way it is, and how it might be otherwise, this book will be irresistible. Rev.
Here are the instructions of how to enable JavaScript in your browser. So I think the Many-Worlds explanation for subjective probabilities is pretty satisfactory.
Grisha Fischer The fondness of philosophers (and a few physicists) for Bohmian mechanics has always mystified me. Becker summarizes the debate and then takes up the cudgel.
presents an illuminating and surprisingly lively study of plant life. Similarly with “actual” and “true” and “exists”.
To the extent that I understand the pro arguments, I’m not especially satisfied either.
