Escape from Shadow Physics
Book • 2024
Adam Forrest Kay's "Escape from Shadow Physics" delves into the historical narrative of quantum mechanics, challenging the prevailing view that reality is fundamentally intangible and mathematical.
The book traces humanity's journey from studying atoms to grappling with their probabilistic nature.
Kay explores various interpretations and analogies, including hydrodynamic quantum analogs, to offer a fresh perspective on the quantum world.
He questions the prevailing positivistic approach, arguing for a deeper, more material understanding of quantum phenomena.
The book encourages readers to reconsider the limitations of human comprehension in understanding the universe.
