Hardback. Is time, even locally, like the real line? Multiple structures of time, implicit in physics, create a consistency problem. This book includes historical details and explains - why the entropy law is inadequate for time asymmetry, and why notions such as time asymmetry (hence causality) may be conceptually inadequate.

Hardback. Many, perhaps most textbooks of quantum mechanics present a Copenhagen, single system angle; fewer present the subject matter as an instrument for treating ensembles, but the two methods have been silently coexisting since the mid-Thirties. This work resolves this dichotomy by examining the mutual relation between single systems and ensembles. Series: Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science. Num Pages: 336 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPJ; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 242 x 167 x 25. Weight in Grams: 650.
