Does quantum mechanics signify the end of a deterministic word-view?\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe role of the human subject or of the \"observer\" in science\u003c\/i\u003e. Since Copernicus, science has increasingly tended to dethrone Man from his formerly held special position in the Universe. But quantum mechanics, with its emphasis on the notion of observation, may once more have given a central role to the human subject.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe issue of locality\u003c\/i\u003e. Does quantum mechanics imply that instantaneous actions at a distance exist in Nature?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these pages the author offers a variety of views and answers - bad as well as good - to these questions. The reader will be both entertained and enlightened by Jean Bricmont's clear and incisive arguments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-11-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319652702\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-65271-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 286\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44808062828684,"sku":"9783319652702","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319652702.jpg?v=1776776671","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319652702","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
