Specificatii
A fascinating and thought-provoking story, one that sheds light on
the origins of... the current challenging situation in
physics.--Wall Street JournalWhen the fuzzy indeterminacy of
quantum mechanics overthrew the orderly world of Isaac Newton,
Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrodinger were at the forefront of the
revolution. Neither man was ever satisfied with the standard
interpretation of quantum mechanics, however, and both rebelled
against what they considered the most preposterous aspect of
quantum mechanics: its randomness. Einstein famously quipped that
God does not play dice with the universe, and Schrodinger
constructed his famous fable of a cat that was neither alive nor
dead not to explain quantum mechanics but to highlight the apparent
absurdity of a theory gone wrong. But these two giants did more
than just criticize: they fought back, seeking a Theory of
Everything that would make the universe seem sensible again. In
Einstein's Dice and Schrodinger's Cat, physicist Paul Halpern tells
the little-known story of how Einstein and Schrodinger searched,
first as collaborators and then as competitors, for a theory that
transcended quantum weirdness. This story of their quest-which
ultimately failed-provides readers with new insights into the
history of physics and the lives and work of two scientists whose
obsessions drove its progress. Today, much of modern physics
remains focused on the search for a Theory of Everything. As
Halpern explains, the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson makes the
Standard Model-the closest thing we have to a unified theory-
nearly complete. And while Einstein and Schrodinger failed in their
attempt to explain everything in the cosmos through pure geometry,
the development of string theory has, in its own quantum way,
brought this idea back into vogue. As in so many things, even when
they were wrong, Einstein and Schrodinger couldn't help but get a
great deal right.
