Beyond Measure Modern Physics, Philosophy and the Meaning of Quantum Theory by Jim Baggott PDF Free Download

When 30% of the world’s manufacturing economy is based upon quantum theory it may come as a surprise that most people do not understand the theory. This second edition of Jim Baggott’s explanatory text has been rearranged so that the mathematical explanations are collected in the appendices. Readers wishing to delve more deeply into the theory’s mathematical subtleties can do so in an extended series of appendices. The book brings the reader up to date with the results of new experimental tests of quantum weirdness and reviews the latest thinking on alternative interpretations, the frontiers of quantum cosmology, quantum gravity and potential application of this weirdness in computing, cryptography and teleportation.
