Summary and Outlook -- $tAppendix -- $tWorks Cited -- $tIndex 330 $aIn Process and Reality and other works, Alfred North Whitehead struggled to come to terms with the impact the new science of quantum mechanics would have on metaphysics.This ambitious book is the first extended analysis of the intricate relationships between relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and Whitehead's cosmology. Michael Epperson illuminates the intersection of science and philosophy in Whitehead's work-and details Whitehead's attempts to fashion an ontology coherent with quantum anomalies.Including a nonspecialist introduction to quantum mechanics, Epperson adds an essential new dimension to our understanding of Whitehead-and of the constantly enriching encounter between science and philosophy in our century. 410 0$aAmerican philosophy series ;$vNumbero 14. 606 $aQuantum theory$xPhilosophy 615 0$aQuantum theory$xPhilosophy. 676 $a530.12/01 700 $aEpperson$b Michael, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0919400 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910324045703321 996 $aQuantum mechanics and the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead$92357046 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05364nam 2200697 a 450 001 9910786071703321 005 20230124190838.0 010 $a1-283-92377-7 010 $a0-19-150640-0 035 $a(CKB)2670000000315440 035 $a(EBL)1107726 035 $a(OCoLC)823719598 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000906882 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11566470 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000906882 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10855252 035 $a(PQKB)10621098 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1107726 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1107726 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10642329 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL423627 035 $a(OCoLC)824144601 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000315440 100 $a19890427d1999 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe emperor's new mind$b[electronic resource] $econcerning computers, minds, and the laws of physics /$fRoger Penrose ; foreword by Martin Gardner 210 $aOxford [England] ;$aNew York $cOxford University Press$d1999 215 $a1 online resource (633 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-19-286198-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Contents; Prologue; 1 CAN A COMPUTER HAVE A MIND?; Introduction; The Turing test; Artificial intelligence; An AI approach to 'pleasure' and 'pain'; Strong AI and Searle's Chinese room; Hardware and software; 2 ALGORITHMS AND TURING MACHINES; Background to the algorithm concept; Turing's concept; Binary coding of numerical data; The Church-Turing Thesis; Numbers other than natural numbers; The universal Turing machine; The insolubility of Hilbert's problem; How to outdo an algorithm; Church's lambda calculus; 3 MATHEMATICS AND REALITY; The land of Tor'Bled-Nam; Real numbers 327 $aHow many real numbers are there?'Reality' of real numbers; Complex numbers; Construction of the Mandelbrot set; Platonic reality of mathematical concepts?; 4 TRUTH, PROOF, AND INSIGHT; Hilbert's programme for mathematics; Formal mathematical systems; Go?del's theorem; Mathematical insight; Platonism or intuitionism?; Go?del-type theorems from Turing's result; Recursively enumerable sets; Is the Mandelbrot set recursive?; Some examples of non-recursive mathematics; Is the Mandelbrot set like non-recursive mathematics?; Complexity theory; Complexity and computability in physical things 327 $a5 THE CLASSICAL WORLDThe status of physical theory; Euclidean geometry; The dynamics of Galileo and Newton; The mechanistic world of Newtonian dynamics; Is life in the billiard-ball world computable?; Hamiltonian mechanics; Phase space; Maxwell's electromagnetic theory; Computability and the wave equation; The Lorentz equation of motion; runaway particles; The special relativity of Einstein and Poincare?; Einstein's general relativity; Relativistic causality and determinism; Computability in classical physics: where do we stand?; Mass, matter, and reality; 6 QUANTUM MAGIC AND QUANTUM MYSTERY 327 $aDo philosophers need quantum theory?Problems with classical theory; The beginnings of quantum theory; The two-slit experiment; Probability amplitudes; The quantum state of a particle; The uncertainty principle; The evolution procedures U and R; Particles in two places at once?; Hilbert space; Measurements; Spin and the Riemann sphere of states; Objectivity and measurability of quantum states; Copying a quantum state; Photon spin; Objects with large spin; Many-particle systems; The 'paradox' of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen; Experiments with photons: a problem for relativity? 327 $aSchro?dinger's equation Dirac's equation; Quantum field theory; Schro?dinger's cat; Various attitudes in existing quantum theory; Where does all this leave us?; 7 COSMOLOGY AND THE ARROW OF TIME; The flow of time; The inexorable increase of entropy; What is entropy?; The second law in action; The origin of low entropy in the universe; Cosmology and the big bang; The primordial fireball; Does the big bang explain the second law?; Black holes; The structure of space-time singularities; How special was the big bang?; 8 IN SEARCH OF QUANTUM GRAVITY; Why quantum gravity? 327 $aWhat lies behind the Weyl curvature hypothesis? 330 $aFor many decades, the proponents of `artificial intelligence' have maintained that computers will soon be able to do everything that a human can do. In his bestselling work of popular science, Sir Roger Penrose takes us on a fascinating roller-coaster ride through the basic principles of physics, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy to show that human thinking can never be emulated by a machine. 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aThought and thinking 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aComputers 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aThought and thinking. 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aComputers. 676 $a006.3 700 $aPenrose$b Roger$039346 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786071703321 996 $aThe emperor's new mind$93795983 997 $aUNINA
