Krátky popis
A young theoretical physicist's guide to how the radical new
science of counterfactuals can reveal the full scope of our
universeThere is a vast class of properties that science has so far
almost entirely neglected. These properties are central to an
understanding of physical reality both at an everyday level and at
the level of fundamental phenomena, yet they have traditionally
been thought of as impossible to incorporate into fundamental
explanations. They relate not only to what is true - the actual -
but to what could be true - the counterfactual.This is the science
of can and can't. Chiara Marletto, a pioneer in this field,
explores the promise that this fascinating, far-reaching approach
holds not only for revolutionizing how fundamental physics is
formulated, but also for confronting existing technological
challenges, from delivering the next generation of
information-processing devices to designing AI. In each chapter,
Marletto sets out how counterfactuals can solve a vexed open
problem in science, and demonstrates that by contemplating the
possible as well as the actual, we can break down barriers to
knowledge and form a more complete and fruitful picture of the
universe.'Clear, sharp and imaginative... The Science of Can and
Can't will open the doors to a dazzling set of concepts and ideas
that will change deeply the way you look at the world' David
Deutsch, bestselling author of The Beginning of Infinity
