Klappentext zu „Everyday Quantum Reality “
Most people have heard about quantum physics and its remarkable, well-nigh bizarre claims. And most people would assume that quantum realitydescribes a world quite different from ours. In this book, David A. Grandy showsthat one can find quantum puzzles, or variations thereof, in the backyard ofeveryday experience. What disappears in transferring quantum theory to the everydayis the theory's mathematical formalism, but that need not imply a loss of analyticrigor. If quantum reality is truly as elemental and ubiquitous as many thinkerssuggest, then alternative or complementary perspectives ought to be possible, andwith the proliferation of such perspectives, a more fully rounded understanding ofquantum reality -- and everyday reality -- might emerge. Everyday Quantum Reality isa step in that direction.

Rezension zu „Everyday Quantum Reality “
"Far from being completely counterintuitive and beyond our experience, the findings of quantum physics have many analogs in everyday life, which we have simply not seen because of the grip of the classical worldview on our thinking... Everyday Quantum Reality makes an important and original argument." Alexander Wendt, author of Social Theory of International Politics
