Causation, Physics, and the Constitution of Reality
In philosophy as in ordinary life, cause and effect are twin pillars on which much of our thought seems based. But almost a century ago, Bertrand Russell declared that modern physics leaves these pillars without foundations. Russell's revolutionary conclusion was that ‘the law of causality is a relic of a bygone age, surviving, like the monarchy, only because it is erroneously supposed to do no harm’. Russell’s famous challenge remains unanswered…
Causation, physics, and the constitution of reality
Time's arrow & Archimedes' point
Why is the future so different from the past? Why does the past affect the future and not the other way around? What does quantum mechanics really tell us about the world? In this important and accessible book, Huw Price throws fascinating new light on some of the great mysteries of modern physics, and connects them in a wholly original way. Price begins with the mystery of the arrow of time. Why, for example, does disorder always increase, as re…
