Description and Table of Contents
Description
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 Bell's Theorem and its implication for the relativistic account of space and time
Discusses Roderich Tumiulka's explicit, relativistic theory that can reproduce the quantum mechanical violation of Bell's 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
