Recenzii
A fascinating exploration of a beautiful hypothesis about the mysteries of quantum phenomena, by an independent, careful, and courageous thinker
Written with great clarity and elegance; and with a gift for vivid - but always appropriate and didactically helpful - metaphors
This is the best book yet written in this century to understand the great debate now raging among today's physicists and philosophers. On one side stand the antirealists, arguing we must reject the notion that science tells us what is real. Valentini stands as the most important thinker of this century defending the notion that science gives a complete description of physical processes. With crystal clear prose and brilliant pedagogy Valentini guides us along a trip to understand how quantum theory may be saved.
a remarkable new book reminds us what a big idea really looks like
This book is unlike any other popular science account of quantum physics in that it will shock you. ... Valentini takes the bull by the horns and addresses the elephant in the room: quantum mechanics is non-local. ... This book should not only be read by non-specialists, but practitioners should also have the courage to face up to the implications it suggests.
Valentini's theory reproduces known results, but radically reconstructs much of physics behind the scenes. ...It is either a profound insight or a fantasy. Let experiment decide.
