In Helgoland, Rovelli examines the enduring enigma of quantum theory. The quantum world Rovelli describes is as beautiful as it is unnerving. Helgoland is a treeless island in the North Sea where the 21-year-old Werner Heisenberg first developed quantum theory, setting off a century of scientific revolution. Full of alarming ideas (ghost waves, distant objects that seem to be magically connected, cats that appear both dead and alive), quantum physics has led to countless discoveries and technological advancements. Today our understanding of the world is based on this theory, yet it is still profoundly mysterious. As scientists and philosophers continue to fiercly debate the theory's meaning, Rovelli argues that its most unsettling contradictions can be explained by seeing the world as fundamentally made of relationships, not substances. We and everything around us exist only in our interactions with one another. This bold idea suggests new directions for understanding the structure of reality and even the nature of consciousness. Rovelli makes learning about quantum mechanics an almost psychedelic experience. Shifting our perspective once again, he takes us on a riveting journey through the universe so we can better understand our place in it"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 530.12 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.12 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.12 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.12 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.12 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.12 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.12 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
