Alfa Yayınları Do the Dice Play God?

Product description

There is a common misconception: if we know all the physical factors affecting the dice, such as the direction of the throw, wind speed, etc., we can predict the outcome when we roll a dice.

this belief cannot be justified either in classical physics or in quantum physics. But it's still blindly defended by many, because we like to believe we can know things for certain.

we would like to be able to know who will win an election, whether the stock market will crash, or if a suspect is definitely guilty.

yet when we are asked to predict the outcome of a chance event, we are almost always wrong. Stewart provides a summary of the development of probability mathematics throughout history, offering a surprising and satisfying explanation about things we can know and things we can never know.

“a fascinating look at chaos theory and the uncertainties of the quantum universe. Readers interested in whether schrödinger's famous cat is truly dead or alive, or how uncertain the uncertainty principle of heisenberg really is, will find stewart's research satisfying. As publishers weekly astutely demonstrates, uncertainty is life itself.

there is plenty to entertain and challenge here.

Life is full of uncertainties, but as ian stewart shows in this fascinating new book, humanity is in an endless effort to predict the future. Paul halpern, the quantum labyrinth author: ian stewart binding: paperback size: 13.5 x 21 number of pages: 312
