Samenvatting
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
