- Summary:
- How do quantum theories force us to revise our picture of the fundamental nature of reality? This book outlines a range of ways to address the fundamental weirdness of quantum mechanics, from holism and nonlocality to higher dimensions. Alyssa Ney defends one approach to answering this question, based on an early suggestion of Schrodinger - to take the quantum wave function as a real field that ultimately constitutes the rest of our reality.
