David Bohm

Opis

In this classic, David Bohm was the first to offer us his causal interpretation of the quantum theory. Causality and Chance in Modern Physics continues to make possible further insight into the meaning of the quantum theory and to suggest ways of extending the theory into new directions.

Recenzje

'For those who know Bohm's work only through Wholeness and the Implicate Order then this is a fine primer. For those who want a well written, authoritative and stimulating understanding of the subject matter of causality and quantum physics then the reappearance of this work will provide them with the best.' - Michael Shallis, New Scientist

'Of exceptional importance. A genuine philosophy of nature, written by a physicist, it transcends the present interpretation of quantum mechanics and formulates a most stimulating hypothesis. A brilliant original elaboration of Prince Louis de Broglie's ideas.' - Hibbert Journal
