Quantum Dynamics and the Universe
This chapter explores the Schrodinger equation's implications for understanding the universe, suggesting a stochastic approach over traditional unitary evolution. It delves into the transition from quantum to classical physics in larger systems, questioning the restoration of unitary evolution at cosmological scales. The discussion highlights the complexities of quantum field theory, particle behavior, and how conventional quantum mechanics provides consistent predictions despite fundamental differences in underlying assumptions.
