  • Escape From Shadow Physics

    Quantum Theory, Quantum Reality and the Next Scientific Revolution

    by Adam Forrest Kay ...
    The received wisdom in quantum physics is that, at the deepest levels of reality, there are no actual causes for atomic events. This idea led to the outlandish belief that quantum objects - indeed, reality itself - aren't real unless shaped by human measurement. Einstein mocked this idea, asking whether his bed spread out across his room unless he looked at it. And yet it remains one of the most ... Read more

  • Space, Time and Gravitation: An Outline of the General Relativity Theory

    by Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington ...
    By his theory of relativity Albert Einstein has provoked a revolution of thought in physical science.The achievement consists essentially in this:|Einstein has succeeded in separating far more completely than hitherto the share of the observer and the share of external nature in the things we see happen. The perception of an object by an observer depends on his own situation and circumstances; for ... Read more

  • Broadband Measurement and Reduction of Quantum Radiation Pressure Noise in the Audio Band

    by Jonathan Cripe ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents a direct measurement of quantum back action, or radiation pressure noise, on a macroscopic object at room temperature across a broad bandwidth in the audio range. This noise source was predicted to be a limitation for gravitational wave interferometers in the 1980s, but it has evaded direct characterization in the gravitational wave community due to the inherent difficult of ...
