Science is at a cross-roads. For several decades, the Standard
Model of particle physics has managed to fit vast amounts of
particle scattering data remarkably well, but many questions
remain. During those decades, some sophisticated theoretical
hypotheses such as string theory, quantum gravity, and quantum
cosmology have been proposed and studied intensively, in an effort
to break the log-jam of the Standard Model. None of those
hypotheses have succeeded to date. Of greater concern is the
increasing tendency by some practitioners in those fields to
downplay the empirical principles of science.In response, this book
is a restatement of those principles, covering numerous aspects of
observation. A particular focus is on contextuality versus realism,
the two fundamentally contrasting ideologies that underpin modern
physics.
The structural aspects of composite quantum systems in the
foundation, interpretation and application of quantum theory is an
increasingly prominent topic of physics research. As an emerging
field, it seeks to understand the origins of the classical world of
experience from the quantum level.Quantum Structural Studies
presents conceptual fundamentals and mathematical methods for
investigating the structuring of quantum systems into subsystems.
Split into four sections, the topics covered include the historical
and philosophical aspects of quantum structures, specific
interpretive approaches and ontologies, and alternative
methodological approaches to quantum mechanics. Questions addressed
are: Specialists, graduate students and researchers seeking an
introduction to the field of emergent structures and new directions
for research and experimentation can use this book to find
up-to-date representative texts and reviews.
Have you ever wondered how Einstein, a regular man, can come up
with radical ideas that shape the world to be what it is
today?Albert Einstein is a familiar name to many in the scientific
and non-scientific community due to his revolutionary ideas such as
the Theory of Relativity, Special Relativity and significant
contributions to the development of Quantum Mechanics. As such,
many aspire to be like him and wonder how they can do that. The
author believes that one needs to condition his/her mind to be able
to think like the world-renowned Mathematical Physicist, Albert
Einstein. The road to being successful can be challenging and it
requires grit, confidence and guidance from the right people.
Hence, this book is as a must-have guide to readers who wish to be
one of the best scientists in the world!Related Link(s)

Scientists have been debating the meaning of quantum mechanics for
more than a century. This book for graduate students and
researchers gets to the root of the problem: how the contextual
nature of empirical truth and the laws of observation impact on our
understanding of quantum physics. Bridging the gap between
non-relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, this
novel approach to quantum mechanics extends the standard formalism
to cover the observer and their apparatus. The author demystifies
some of the aspects of quantum mechanics that have traditionally
been regarded as extraordinary, such as wave-particle duality and
quantum superposition, emphasizing the scientific principles rather
than the mathematical modelling. Including key experiments and
worked examples throughout, the author encourages the reader to
focus on empirically sound concepts and avoid metaphysical
speculation. Originally released in 2017, this title has been
reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
