Paperback. Condizione: Good. "A thorough, illuminating exploration of the most consequential controversy raging in modern science." --New York Times Book Review An Editor's Choice, New York Times Book Review Longlisted for PEN/E.O. Wilson Prize for Literary Science Writing Longlisted for Goodreads Choice Award   Every physicist agrees quantum mechanics is among humanity's finest scientific achievements. But ask what it means, and the result will be a brawl. For a century, most physicists have followed Niels Bohr's solipsistic and poorly reasoned Copenhagen interpretation. Indeed, questioning it has long meant professional ruin, yet some daring physicists, such as John Bell, David Bohm, and Hugh Everett, persisted in seeking the true meaning of quantum mechanics. What Is Real? is the gripping story of this battle of ideas and the courageous scientists who dared to stand up for truth.   "An excellent, accessible account." --Wall Street Journal   "Splendid. . . . Deeply detailed research, accompanied by charming anecdotes about the scientists." --Washington Post.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. A timely exposé of the ludicrous and cruel obsessions of Silicon Valley's oligarchs. "In an era when billionaire space races and AI hype dominate headlines, More Everything Forever arrives as a much-needed reality check." --The Atlantic Tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have decided that the only worthwhile future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs. In More Everything Forever, science journalist Adam Becker investigates these wildly implausible and profoundly immoral visions of tomorrow--and shows there is no good evidence that they will, or should, come to pass. Silicon Valley giants claim their ideas are based on science, but in reality they come from a jumbled mix of shallow futurism and racist pseudoscience, distracting us from solving crucial problems like climate change. Urgent reading in our dire political moment, More Everything Forever exposes the sinister ideas that dominate Silicon Valley and beyond, challenging us to see how foolish, and dangerous, these visions of the future are.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Every physicist agrees quantum mechanics is among humanity's finest scientific achievements. But ask what it means, and the result will be a brawl. For a century, most physicists have followed Niels Bohr's Copenhagen interpretation and dismissed questions about the reality underlying quantum physics as meaningless. A mishmash of solipsism and poor reasoning, Copenhagen endured, as Bohr's students vigorously protected his legacy, and the physics community favoured practical experiments over philosophical arguments. As a result, questioning the status quo long meant professional ruin. And yet, from the 1920s to today, physicists like John Bell, David Bohm, and Hugh Everett persisted in seeking the true meaning of quantum mechanics.
