In theoretical physicist Lee Smolin argues that the current "anti-realist" version of quantum mechanics is fundamentally incomplete. He contends that we must look beyond standard quantum theory to find a description of the universe that makes sense to "common sense realism"—the idea that the world exists independently of our observations.
Smolin covers the basics of quantum "weirdness," such as superposition and entanglement. He critiques the "anti-realist" stance, which suggests that things only have properties when they are measured.
Smolin explains that Einstein initiated two revolutions in 1905: relativity and the quantum revolution. The latter remains unfinished because:
He evaluates alternative "realist" interpretations, including Louis de Broglie’s Pilot Wave theory , Objective Collapse theories , and the Many-Worlds interpretation . He points out the flaws he sees in these, such as the Many-Worlds' lack of clear probability and its "magical realism".
You can find the book in various formats, including , through retailers like Barnes & Noble , Amazon , or Penguin Random House . Key Themes and Arguments
The book is structured into three main sections that guide the reader from established science into Smolin's own revolutionary theories:
