In Search Of Schrodinger's Cat: Updated Edition

Product Information

It's really really well written, even by the high standards of popular science set by the luminaries, and remains deliciously readable even after more than three decades since its publication. Saber sobre el origen de la mecánica matricial de Heisenberg y la tensión con Max Born, con autores de la misma y que quedaron excluídos del premio Nobel que gano el primero. The "many-worlds interpretation" contradicts the Copenhagen interpretation in the sense it assumes all the possibilities to be equally real and exist in their own worlds with their own observers (us being one of them). On quantum computing: Deutsch has drawn important conclusions from the success of quantum computing.

Learning Gotcha: How We Misunderstood Schrödinger’s Cat Learning Gotcha: How We Misunderstood Schrödinger’s Cat

Gribbin seems to have a sound understanding of quantum mechanics, and his writing is rather well crafted, but sometimes I think he'd rather have been a historian than a physicist. Ama illa bir şeyler anlayayım, hiç olmazsa neden anlaşılamayacağını anlayayım, derseniz bu kitap hiç fena bir başlangıç noktası değil. This is followed by discoveries by Pauli (the Pauli exclusion principle), Heisenberg, Born and Schrondinger which strengthen the theory of quantum mechanics.Para citar algunos ejemplos, me encanto leer (o volver a leer) sobre las tensiones entre personajes como Mach, Planck y Boltzmann o entre Einstein, Schrödinger, de Broglie y Heisenberg o Bohr.

In 1974, Gribbin published, along with Stephen Plagemann, a book titled The Jupiter Effect, that predicted that the alignment of the planets in quadrant on one side of the Sun on March 10, 1982 would cause gravitational effects that would trigger earthquakes in the San Andreas fault, possibly wiping out Los Angeles and its suburbs. Gribbin reveals the concepts very slowly, which might not be a bad thing, so this may seem a bit tedious at first. The third part probes some of the deeper mysteries, possibilities and paradoxes of quantum mechanics. The topical range of his prolific writings includes quantum physics, biographies of famous scientists, human evolution, the origins of the universe, climate change and global warming.He takes us step-by-step into an ever more bizarre and fascinating place—requiring only that we approach it with an open mind. one of the anecdotes told and retold about Niels Bohr is that when someone came to him with a wild idea purporting to resolve one of the puzzles of quantum theory in the 1920’s he replied, “Your theory is crazy. We have to find a new view of the world that has to agree with everything that is known, but disagrees in its predictions somewhere. You are the only contemporary physicist, besides Laue, who sees that one cannot get around the assumption of reality, if only one is honest. En los años en los que era un joven muy curioso pero también muy ignorante de casi todo, la historia y los protagonistas me importaban muy poco (en realidad eran como un estorbo para entender las ideas últimas que quería entender).

scarcely any of them will realise that every item on that list has its roots in quantum mechanics, a branch of science that they may never have heard of and almost certainly do not understand. It has been described as among the best of the first wave of physics popularisations preceding Stephen Hawking's multi-million-selling A Brief History of Time.

I had the feeling that, through the surface of atomic phenomena, I was looking at a strangely beautiful interior, and felt almost giddy at the thought that i now had to probe this wealth of mathematical structures nature had so generally spread out before me. It was the first popular book about quantum physics I've read and I think I was lucky to start with it. The only reasonable explanation for this, says Deutsch, is that the superposition actually represents 256 different computers operating in 256 different parallel universes…”the fact that quantum computing works proves that many worlds exist.
