This collection of essays by leading philosophers of physics was
first published in 2000, and offers philosophical perspectives on
two of the central elements of modern physics, quantum theory and
relativity. The topics examined include the notorious 'measurement
problem' of quantum theory and the attempts to solve it by
attributing extra values to physical quantities, the mysterious
non-locality of quantum theory, the curious properties of spatial
localization in relativistic quantum theories, and the problem of
time in the search for a theory of quantum gravity. Together the
essays represent some of the last decade's research in philosophy
of physics, particularly interestingly within the philosophy of
quantum theory.

The topics examined include the notorious "measurement problem" of quantum theory and the attempts to solve it by attributing extra values to physical quantities, the mysterious non-locality of quantum theory, and the philosophical aspects of the search for a theory of quantum gravity. Together the essays represent some of the most recent research in philosophy of physics, and break new ground within the philosophy of quantum theory.
