This volume contains twenty-nine essays written to address such challenges. The essays address issues in quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology and physics in general. Examples include: How do we apply quantum mechanics to the whole universe when all observers are inside? What do we mean by past, present, and future in a four-dimensional universe? What is the origin of classical predictability in a quantum universe? Could physics predict non-computable numbers? Short personal recollections of Murray Gell-Mann and Stephen Hawking are included. The essays vary in length, style, and level but should be accessible to most physicists"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Quantum theory. 650 0 $a Quantum cosmology. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210804011746.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3013730CC43111EB854196005EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
