The core of the first part is Hilberts two semester lecture course on The Foundations of Physics (1916/17). Thisis framed by Hilberts published First and Second Communications on the Foundations of Physics (1915, 1917) and by a selection of documents dealing with more specific topics like The Principle of Causality or alecture on the new concepts of space and time held in Bucharest in 1918. The e pistemological issues concern the intricate relation between nature and mathematical knowledge, in particular the question of irreversibility and objectivity(1921) as well as the subtle question whether what Hilbert calls the world equations are physicall y complete (1923). The last part deals with quantum theory in its early, advanced and mature stages. Hilbert held lecture courseson the mathematical foundations of quantum theory twice, before and after the breakthrough in 1926. These documents bear witne ss to one of the most dramatic changes in the foundations of science Note: Springer eBooks Contents: Mitteilungen The Foundations of Physics: The Lectures (19161917) The Foundations of Physics: Specific Topics (1915?1918) Epistemological Questions of Physics (1921 and 1923) Lectures on Radiation and Quantum Theory (1912) Lectures on Quantum Theory (192223 and 192627) ISBN: 9783540682424 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Mathematics and Statistics (Springer-11649) Keywords: Mathematics , Science Philosophy , Mathematics_$xHistory , Quantum theory , Mechanics Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

Abner Shimony, who is well known for hispioneering contributions to f oundations of quantum mechanics, is a physicist as well as a philosopher, and is highly respected among the intellectuals of both communities. In line with Shimonys conviction that philosophicalinvestigation is not to be divorced from theoretical and empi rical work in the sciences, the conference brought together leading theoretical physicists, experimentalists, as well as philosophers. This book collects twenty-threeoriginal essays stemming from the conference, on topics including history and methodology of science, Bell's theorem, probability theory, the uncertainty principle, stochastic modifications of quantum mechanics, and relativity theory.It ends with a transcript of a fascinating discussion between Lee Smolin and Shimony, ranging over the entire spectrum of Shimony's wide-ranging contributions to philosophy, science, and philosophy of science Note: Springer eBooks Contents: Passion at a Distance Philosophy, Methodology and History Balancing Necessity and Fallibilism: Charles Sanders Peirce on the Status of Mathematics and its Intersection with the Inquiry into Nature Newton's Methodology Whitehead's Philosophy and Quantum Mechanics (QM) Bohr and the Photon Bell's Theorem and Nonlocality Extending the Concept of an Element of Reality to Work with Inefficient Detectors A General Proof of Nonlocality without Inequalities for Bipartite States On the Separability of Physical Systems Bell Inequalities: Many Questions, a Few Answers ISBN: 9781402091070 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: The Western Ontario Series in Philosophy of Science, 1566-659X : v73 Series: Physics and Astronomy (Springer-11651) Keywords: Science Philosophy , Quantum theory Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

Dieter Zeh Date: 2007 Edition: 5th edition Publisher: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg Size: 1 online resource Note: Springer e-book platform Note: Springer 2013 e-book collections Note: This thoroughly revised 5th edition of Zeh's classic text investigates irreversible phenomena and their foundation in classical, quantum and cosmological settings. It includes new sections on the meaning of probabilities in acosmological context, irr eversible aspects of quantum computers, and various consequences of the expansion of the Universe. Many other sections have been rewritten. In particular, the book contains an analysis of the physical conceptof time, a detailed treatment of radiation damp ing as well as extended sections on quantum entanglement and decoherence, arrows of time hidden in various interpretations of quantum theory, and the emergence of time in quantum gravity.Both physicists and philosophers of science will find in this book a magnificent survey and a concise, technically sophisticated, up-to-date discussion which shows fine sensitivity to crucial conceptual subtleties. The discussion islucid and intuitive without glossing over the important details.

This book examines these debates byexploring the particle conc ept in physics. Are the particles of modern physics real or are they fictitious entities, their existence deduced merely by the careless application of abstract theories? Or are the philosophers involvedin the debate about scientific realism dedicating th emselves to a problem that has long been solved by physicists? Studies of the experimental basis and theoretical relevance of the particle concept reveal that these questions arefar from easy to answer, because, since the introduction of quantum theory, p hysical science no longer possesses a single unambiguous particle concept. All those interested in the true meaning of such physical concepts will findthis book informative and thought provoking.

The theory, which Niels Bohr regarded as finished and complete, has in the last few decades rapidly developed in unexpected directions.An intense new focus on the stranger aspects of the theory, including entanglement and nonlocality, has resulted in new perceptions of the foundations of quantum mechanics, as well as surprising new exploitations of quantum phenomena.Historians and philosophers of science hav e also renewed their attention to quantum mechanics, opening up its human dimensions and asking searching questions about its meaning. This volume brings together new insights from differentvantage points: Historians of physics, such as J. L. Heilbron phi losophers of science, such as Abner Shimony and Michel Bitbol and quantum physicists, such as Wolfgang Ketterle and Roland Omns, join forces to tackle essentialquestions in quantum mechanics and its interpretation. All the authors have written for a broad readership, and the resulting volume will appeal to everyone wishing to keep abreast of new developments in quantum mechanics, as well asits history and philosophy Note: Springer eBooks Contents: From the contents: Introduction Max Planck's Compromises on the Way to and from the Absolute Atomic Waves in Private Practice A Complementary Opposition: Louis de Broglie and Werner Heisenberg Schrdinger Against Particles and Quantum Jumps Aspects of Nonlocality in Quantum Mechanics Decoherence and the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics What Are Consistent Histories?

In the four-dimensional world of Minkowski (or Minkowski spacetime) the most challenging problemis the nature of the temporal dimension. In Minkowski spacetime it is merely one of the four dimensions, which means that it is entirely given like the other three spacial dimensions. If the temporal dimension were not given in itsentirety and only one constantly changing mom ent of it existed, Minkowski spacetime would be reduced to the ordinary three-dimensional space. But if the physical world, represented by Minkowski spacetime, is indeed four-dimensionalwith time being the fourth dimension, then such a world is drasticall y different from its image based on our perceptions. Minkowski four-dimensional world is a block Universe, a frozen world in which nothing happens since all momentsof time are given at once', which means that physical bodies are four-dimensional worldtube s containing the whole histories in time of the three-dimensional bodies of our everyday experience. The implications of a real Minkowskiworld for physics itself and especially for our world view are enormous. The main focus of this volume is the question : is spacetime nothing more than a mathematical space (which describes the evolution in time of the ordinarythree-dimensional world) or is it a mathematical model of a real four-dimensional world with time entirely given as the fourth dimension? It contai ns fourteen invited papers which either directly address the main question of the natureof spacetime or explore issues related to it.

Philosophically, the book reassesses Bohr's place in the Western philosophical tradition, from Kant and Hegel on. Physically, itreconsiders the main issues at stake in the Bohr-Ein stein confrontation and in the ongoing debates concerning quantum physics. It also devotes greater attention than in most commentaries on Bohr to the key developments andtransformations of his thinking concerning complementarity. Most significant among th em were those that occurred, first, under the impact of Bohr's exchanges with Einstein and, second, under the impact of developments in quantum theoryitself, both quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. The importance of quantum field theory for Bohr' s thinking has not been adequately addressed in the literature on Bohr, to the considerable detriment to our understanding of thehistory of quantum physics. Filling this lacuna is one of the main contributions of the book, which also enables us to show wh y quantum field theory compels us to move beyond Bohr without, however, simply leaving him behind. Audience:While the book will be of particular interest to physicists, philosophers and historians of science, it is also aimed at a broader audience, especi ally graduate and undergraduate students, whom this book will help to develop a greaterappreciation of Bohr, physics, and philosophy Note: Springer eBooks ISBN: 9781402052545 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics : v152 Series: Physics and Astronomy (Springer-11651) Keywords: Science Philosophy , Quantum theory , Physics History Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

That is, the idea of a quantum theory of binaryalternatives (the so-called ur-the ory), a unified quantum theoretical framework in which spinorial symmetry groups are considered to give rise to the structure of space and time. The book saw numerous reprints, but it was published inGerman only. The present edition, in English, provides a newly arranged and revised version, in which some original chapters and sections have been deleted, and a new chapter about further insights and results of ur-theoretic researchof the late 1980s and 1990s, mainly by the work of Thomas Grnitz, has been i ncluded, as well as a general introduction to Weizsckers Philosophy of Physics. Carl Friedrich von Weizscker also enjoys high esteem by a muchbroader audience for his socio-cultural, political and religious thoughts and writings. In him the intercultural and interdisciplinary dialogue has found one of its most important proponents: a great thinker who combines theperspectives of science, philosophy, religion and politics with a view towards the challenges as well as the responsibilities of our time Note: Springer eBooks Contents: The unity of physics The system of theories Probability and abstract quantum theory Quantum theory and spacetime Models of particles and interaction Cosmology and particle physics Time and information Irreversibility and entropy1 Information and evolution On the interpretation of physics The problem of the interpretation of quantum theory The stream of information Beyond quantum theory In the language of philosophers ISBN: 9781402052354 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics : v155 Series: Physics and Astronomy (Springer-11651) Keywords: Science Philosophy , Quantum theory , Thermodynamics , Relativity (Physics) Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

The Scientist as Philosopher explores the interaction between physics and philosophy. Clearlywritten and well illustrated, the book first places the scientist-philosophers in the limelight as we learn how their great scientific discoveries forced them to reconsider the time-honored notions with which science had described thenatural world. Then, the book explains that what w e understand by nature and science have undergone fundamental conceptual changes as a result of the discoveries of electromagnetism, thermodynamics and atomic structure. Even moredramatically, the quantum theory and special theory of relativity questioned traditional assumptions about causation and the passage of time.

Wolfgang Paulis Dialogue with C.G. Jung Author(s): Suzanne Gieser Date: 2005 Publisher: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg Size: 1 online resource Note: Springer e-book platform Note: Springer 2013 e-book collections Note: The Innermost Kernel recounts the physicist and Nobel Laureate Wolfgang Pauli and his interest in Jungian psychology, philosophy and western world-view. It is also an exploration of the intellectual setting and context ofPauli's thinking, which has i ts starting point in the cultural and intellectual climate of fin-de-sicle Europe. As a contribution to the general history of quantum physics this study has a special focus on the psychological andphilosophical issues discussed by physicists belonging to the Copenhagen school. The work is mainly based on the correspondence of the principle characters and explores some of the central issues discussed there, as for instance thesubject-object relation, complementarity, the relation of conscious and unconsci ous, the process underlying concept-formation, the psychology of scientific discovery, the symbolic world of alchemy, the theories of archetypes and ofsynchronicity.

For over a century it has been assumed to be inviolable by the scientific community. Over the last 10-20 years,however, more than two dozen challenges to it have appeared in the physical literature - more than during any other period in its 150-year history. The number and variety of these represent a cogent threat to its absolute status. Thisis the first book to document and critique these modern challenges. Written by two leading exponents of this rapidly emerging field, it covers the theoretical and experimental aspects of principal challenges. In addition, unresolvedfoundational issues concerning entropy and the second law are explored.
