Einstein's unfinished revolution : the search for what lies beyond the quantum / Lee Smolin ; illustrations by Kaca Bradonjić. - xxix, 322 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-295, 305-308) and index.
Part 1: An orthodoxy of the unreal. Nature loves to hide ; Quanta ; How quanta change ; How quanta share ; What quantum mechanics doesn't explain ; The triumph of anti-realism -- Part 2: Realism reborn. The challenge of realism : de Broglie and Einstein ; Bohm : realism tries again ; Physical collapse of the quantum state ; Magical realism ; Critical realism -- Part 3: Beyond the quantum. Alternatives to revolution ; Lessons ; First, principles ; A causal theory of views -- Epilogue/revolutions: Note to self.
Quantum physics is the golden child of modern science. It is the basis of our understanding of atoms, radiation, and so much else, from elementary particles and basic forces to the behavior of materials.
