Book Description
This book deals mainly with the nature of physical laws, their origin and their possible future evolution. The most direct application of the basic laws of physics is given in nanotechnology. New aspects in connection with basic physical laws will therefore have an immediate influence on this new technological discipline. In other words, new aspects in connection with basic physical laws are not only of direct epistemological interest, but are also related to nanotechnological developments – the key technology of this century. In this connection, quantum theory is of utmost interest. However, the situation here is quite unsatisfactory: up to now, there has been no truly acceptable interpretation of modern quantum theory, and recent experiments strengthen this point. The present situation of quantum physics is outlined in the book. In order to arrive at a more satisfactory description of (quantum) reality, the author comes to the conclusion that we have to enter a new, higher level of reality. In particular, this book deals with the nature of time, the meaning of wave function and its behavior within a non-linear theory, and other relevant facts and mysteries in (quantum) reality.
Editorial Reviews
Review
This book is devoted to one of the most interesting fields of modern physics — quantum processes. The author introduces the readers to the circle of problems and methods characteristic of this field, by illustrating the fundamental theoretical principles by a number of successfully selected examples. The book is distinguished by the original presentation, clarity of thoughts, and the diversity of physical contents. It will be of interest for a wide circle of readers who are students and scientific researchers specialized in quantum mechanics. –Kruchinin S P, Professor, Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics
