QUANTUM SENSE AND NONSENSE - JEAN BRICMONT KART...

Permeated by the author's delightful humor  this little book explains  with nearly no
mathematics  the main conceptual issues associated with quantum mechanics: The issue of
determinism. Does quantum mechanics signify the end of a deterministic word-view? The role of
the human subject or of the observer in science. Since Copernicus  science has increasingly
tended to dethrone Man from his formerly held special position in the Universe. But quantum
mechanics  with its emphasis on the notion of observation  may once more have given a central
role to the human subject. The issue of locality. Does quantum mechanics imply that
instantaneous actions at a distance exist in Nature? In these pages the author offers a variety
of views and answers - bad as well as good - to these questions. The reader will be both
entertained and enlightened by Jean Bricmont's clear and incisive arguments.
