Heisenberg, Werner.

Physics and Philosophy.

Bog

DKK 85,00

Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg’s classic account explains the central ideas of the quantum revolutions, and his celebrated Uncertainty Principle. The theme of Heisenberg’s exposition is that words and concepts familiar in daily life can lose their meaning in the world of relativity and quantum physics. This in turn has profound philosophical implications for the nature of reality and for our total world view.
