Paperback. Zustand: New. An exploration of quantum entanglement and the ways in which it contradicts our everyday assumptions about the ultimate nature of reality.Quantum physics is notable for its brazen defiance of common sense. (Think of Schrödinger's Cat, famously both dead and alive.) An especially rigorous form of quantum contradiction occurs in experiments with entangled particles. Our common assumption is that objects have properties whether or not anyone is observing them, and the measurement of one can't affect the other. Quantum entanglement-called by Einstein "spooky action at a distance"-rejects this assumption, offering impeccable reasoning and irrefutable evidence of the opposite. Is quantum entanglement mystical, or just mystifying? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Jed Brody equips readers to decide for themselves. He explains how our commonsense assumptions impose constraints-from which entangled particles break free.Brody explores such concepts as local realism, Bell's inequality, polarization, time dilation, and special relativity. He introduces readers to imaginary physicists Alice and Bob and their photon analyses; points out that it's easier to reject falsehood than establish the truth; and reports that some physicists explain entanglement by arguing that we live in a cross-section of a higher-dimensional reality. He examines a variety of viewpoints held by physicists, including quantum decoherence, Niels Bohr's Copenhagen interpretation, genuine fortuitousness, and QBism. This relatively recent interpretation, an abbreviation of "quantum Bayesianism," holds that there's no such thing as an absolutely accurate, objective probability "out there," that quantum mechanical probabilities are subjective judgments, and there's no "action at a distance," spooky or otherwise.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Danielle Gasket's search for ancestral secrets is imperiled by warring factions that agree about nothing but their desire for her death. Her home is a dystopian city beneath the earth's surface. People have lived underground for so long that knowledge of the surface is preserved only in dwindling communities of persecuted heretics. According to the heretics, a prophet called 'the philodendrist' (tree lover) led people underground to repent for their violent conquest of the natural world. Following a string of clues while evading pursuit, Danielle races toward the long-forgotten path of ascension to sunlight, relying upon her wits and valour to make it through. Finally, her mercy toward her fiercest persecutor convinces him to help her ascend to the pure waters of the sunlit world. The Philodendrist Heresy is a call for the preservation and resurrection of the great forests of the earth. Danielle Gasket's search for ancestral secrets is imperiled by warring factions that agree on nothing but a desire for her death. Her home is a city beneath the earth's surface. Knowledge of the surface remains only in communities of persecuted heretics, who believe a prophet led people underground to repent for their conquest of the natural world.
