GRAVITY AND THE QUANTUM POTENTIAL; Bibliography; Index 330 $aThe 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. 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aGeneral relativity (Physics) 606 $aEmergence (Philosophy) 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aGeneral relativity (Physics) 615 0$aEmergence (Philosophy) 676 $a530.12 700 $aCarroll$b Robert Wayne$f1930-$042697 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816635903321 996 $aOn the emergence theme of physics$94065700 997 $aUNINA
