Description and Table of Contents
Description
The essays in this volume were written by leading researchers on classical mechanics, statistical mechanics, quantum theory, and relativity. They detail central topics in the foundations of physics, including the role of symmetry principles in classical and quantum physics, Einstein's hole argument in general relativity, quantum mechanics and special relativity, quantum correlations, quantum logic, and quantum probability and information.
Table of Contents
- Preface A new modal interpretation of quantum mechanics in terms of relational properties Joseph Berkovitz and Meir Hemmo Why special relativity should not be a template for a reformulation of quantum mechanics Harvey Brown and Chris Timpson On symmetries and conserved quantities in classical mechanics Jeremy Butterfield On the notion of a physical theory of an incompletely knowable domain William Demopoulos Markov properties and quantum experiments Clark Glymour Quantum entropy Stan Gudder Symmetry and the scope of scientific realism Richard Healey Is it true or is it false
