DESCRIPTION:
He is a member of the Martin Luther King, Jr. . Fred Alan Wolf is an author of eleven books, a physicist, and a lecturer who earned his PhD in theoretical physics at UCLA in 1963. He has taught at San Diego State University as well as the University of London, the University of Paris, the Hahn-Meitner Institute for Nuclear Physics in Berlin,
Challenge your preceptions of the universe and explore ideas as varied as superspace theater and zero-time ghosts and even explore a future where time travel is real and black holes are gateways rather than endings.. From renowned physicist Fred Alan Wolf comes his enthralling and accessible exploration of parallel universes and the various theories surrounding them.In this "enthralling read" (Publishers Weekly), travel through the frontiers of space as physicist Fred Alan Wolf guides you through the complex yet intruging concept of parallel universes
"A great book on the multiple universe thesis in QM" according to D. Roberts. Warning: this book pre-supposes that you have a basic understanding of quantum mechanics. If you do not have a familiarity with the foundation of QM, I would highly recommend that you first read either "Taking the Quantum Leap" (also by Wolf) or some other introductory book of QM (Rober Gilmore's "Alice In Quantumland" would be an excellent choice). Wolf's present book deals with the Princeton physicist Hugh Everett's "solution" to the paradox of Schroedinger's Cat. While it is. Karl-Ohyd Fuses said Parallel Universes,. I read a lot on this subject and especially by Dr. Wolf. Several years ago I have attended a full day seminar by Dr. Wolf and found him to be brilliant. People who complain about him, really do not get it. I was In the first row and he was talking to me from the platformalmost exclusively, then he came in front of me, talking to me. After the lecture I went to him and asked him why he was talking to me, ignoring every one else (about one hundred of students). He responded: "You. Amazon Customer said Thank you Fred Alan Wolf for this AWESOME book. I remember being 16 staying in on. The book that began my fascination for modern science and quantum theory. Thank you Fred Alan Wolf for this AWESOME book. I remember being 16 staying in on Saturday night to read this book while my friends were out partying. So many parts of it are highlighted in my copy.
The equations of relativity and quantum physics support both interpretations. The physicist ( Starwave ) is a strong proponent of the "many-worlds" interpretation of quantum mechanics, and he launches a ferocious assault on conservative scientists who espouse the "Copenhagen" interpretation. Essentially, the debate hinges on the role of consciousness in measuring quantum events: Copenhagenists argue that a quantum measurement causes the "collapse" of a particle's probability wave, while Wolf claims the a
