Herbert's opening chapters provide a brief history of modern science. The rest of the book is simply the best introduction ever published to the several interpretations of Quantum Theory. There are at least eight, and each provides a completely different view of the universe we inhabit. Herbert illustrates each of them and sets them against the background of the two most important debates since the birth of Quantum Theory: the measurement problem (when, how and where does the wave function collapse?) and the entanglement problem (that particles are forever interconnected). The latter, in particular, has implications for each of the interpretations. |
