DavidW Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 True. It's not my field of study, i only read a few books ages ago. Fair enough! Actually, you're pretty well informed; I don't usually come across people outside the field who've come across decoherence. Link to comment
Mike1072 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 This whole subject is decoherent. Link to comment
Ardanis Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Quantum philosophy is always an interesting subject. Link to comment
Dakk Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I find that just using the word "quantum" usually gets the job done - whatever the job. And my warmest congratulations Mr. W, well done. As excuses go, it's better than "I got my hand stuck in the toaster". Link to comment
Miloch Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Is this worth reading? Obviously, the author will be biased on this account, but could a philosopher and metaphysicist who doesn't specialise in quantum whatnot be enthralled by it? Link to comment
DavidW Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Like you say, I'm hardly going to be unbiased. It's technical; you can probably get something out of it without formal physics training but you'll have to skip a lot of equations and take a fair amount on trust. If you're interested in philosophy of quantum theory but haven't studied it before, David Albert's Quantum Mechanics and Experience is a better place to start. Link to comment
