Summary
Riding the Quantum Wave: A Journey into Wave Function Realism
If quantum theories of the world are true—and empirical evidence suggests they are—what do they tell us about us, and the world? How should quantum theories make us reevaluate our classical conceptions of material objects? Nearly a century after the development of quantum theories, a consensus has yet to emerge. Many still wonder about what these theories may be telling us about ourselves and our place in the universe.
