商品描述
The untold story of the heretical thinkers who dared to question the nature of our quantum universe
Every physicist agrees quantum mechanics is among humanity's finest scientific achievements. But ask what it means, and the result will be a brawl. For a century, most physicists have followed Niels Bohr's Copenhagen interpretation and dismissed questions about the reality underlying quantum physics as meaningless. A mishmash of solipsism and poor reasoning, Copenhagen endured, as Bohr's students vigorously protected his legacy, and the physics community favored practical experiments over philosophical arguments. As a result, questioning the status quo long meant professional ruin. And yet, from the 1920s to today, physicists like John Bell, David Bohm, and Hugh Everett persisted in seeking the true meaning of quantum mechanics. What Is Real? is the gripping story of this battle of ideas and the courageous scientists who dared to stand up for truth.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
質疑我們量子宇宙本質的異端思想家們的未被告知的故事
每位物理學家都同意量子力學是人類最偉大的科學成就之一。但如果問它的意義，結果將是一場爭吵。在過去的百年中，大多數物理學家遵循尼爾斯·玻爾（Niels Bohr）的哥本哈根詮釋，並將關於量子物理背後現實的問題視為毫無意義。哥本哈根詮釋是一種自我中心主義和糟糕推理的混合體，隨著玻爾的學生們積極捍衛他的遺產，物理學界更偏好實驗而非哲學辯論。因此，質疑現狀長期以來意味著職業的毀滅。然而，從1920年代到今天，像約翰·貝爾（John Bell）、大衛·玻姆（David Bohm）和休·埃弗雷特（Hugh Everett）等物理學家仍然堅持尋求量子力學的真正意義。什麼是真實的？ 是這場思想之戰的引人入勝的故事，以及那些敢於為真理挺身而出的勇敢科學家們。
