GRAVITY AND THE QUANTUM POTENTIAL; Bibliography; IndexThe book surveys mathematical relations between classical and quantum mechanics, gravity, time and thermodynamics from various points of view and many sources (with appropriate attribution). The emergence theme is developed with an emphasis on the meaning via mathematics. A background theme of Bohemian mechanics and connections to the quantum equivalence principle of Matone et al. is also developed in great detail. Some original work relating the quantum potential and Ricci flow is also included.Quantum theoryGeneral relativity (Physics)Emergence (Philosophy)Quantum theory.General relativity (Physics)Emergence (Philosophy)530.12Carroll Robert W.1930-201242697MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962643403321On the emergence theme of physics4413854UNINA
