Quantum Mechanics and Experience
A Science, Philosophy, Physics book. Superb. The second chapter on the mathematical formalism is a bit heavy going at times,...
The more science tells us about the world, the stranger it looks. Ever since physics first penetrated the atom, early in this century, what it found there has stood as a radical and unanswered challenge to many of our most cherished conceptions of nature. It has literally been called into question since then whether or not there are always objective matters of fact about the whereabouts of subatomic particles, or about the locations of tables and chairs, or even about the very contents of our thoughts. A new kind of uncertainty has become a principle of science.This book is an original and provocative investigation of that challenge, as well as a novel attempt at writing about science in a style that is simultaneously elementary and deep. It is a lucid and self-contained introduction to the foundations of quantum mechanics, accessible to anyone with a high school mathematics education, and at the same time a rigorous discussion of...

More About Quantum Mechanics and Experience
Understandable, but technically precise and philosophically rigorous. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. 1) In this part, it'll be talked about 2 properties that precise physical definitions of those don't matter. One of them is 'color' and the other one is 'hardness'. It happens to be an empirical fact that the color and hardness of properties of particles... Superb. The second chapter on the mathematical formalism is a bit heavy going at times, but it's quite enlightening how having that foundation established makes the quantum theory and philosophy in the chapters that follow that much more lucid and compelling. I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to Quantum Mechanics, but it's...
