PAP. Condición: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condición: New. Does the future exist already? What is space? Are time machines physically possible? What is quantum mechanical reality like? Are there many universes? Is there a 'true' geometry of the universe? Why does there appear to be an arrow of time? Do humans play a special role in the world? In this unique introductory book, Dean Rickles guides the reader through these and other core questions that keep philosophers of physics up at night. He discusses the three pillars of modern physics (quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and the theories of relativity), in addition to more cutting-edge themes such as econophysics, quantum gravity, quantum computers, and gauge theories. The book's approach is based on the idea that philosophy of physics is a kind of 'interpretation game' in which we try to map physical theories onto our world. But the rules of this game often lead to a multiplicity of possible victors: rarely do we encounter a simple answer. The Philosophy of Physics offers a highly accessible introduction to the latest developments in this exciting field. Written in a lively style, with many visual examples, it will appeal to beginner-level students in both physics and philosophy.

Condición: New. A real blast. No other beginner-level book in philosophy of physics provides such a synoptic view of the subject. But what really makes the book fun is Rickles ability to convey how astonishing these physical puzzles are, in with an informal, witty voice.

Rickles erörtert drei Pfeiler der modernen Physik (Quantenmechanik, statistische Mechanik und Relativitätstheorien), neben weiteren noch aktuelleren Themen wie Econophysik, Quantengravität, Quantencomputer und Eichtheorien. Das Buch gründet auf der Vorstellung, dass die Philosophie der Physik eine Art Interpretationsspiel ist, bei dem versucht wird, physikalische Theorien auf unsere Welt zu übertragen. Aber die Spielregeln führen oft zu einer Vielzahl von Siegern: Eine einfache Antwort lässt sich selten finden.The Philosophy of Physics ist eine überaus verständliche Einführung in die neuesten Entwicklungen dieses Fachgebiets. Das Buch ist lebendig geschrieben, mit vielen visuellen Beispielen, und wird Studenten am Anfang ihres Studiums der Philosophie oder Physik gefallen.
