Realism and Other Isms

Alan A. Grometstein

Chapter Chapter 13 in The Roots of Things, 1999, pp 329-345 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The development of quantum mechanics brought with it a reexamination of fundamental ideas which had long been relegated to science’s quiet sister, philosophy. It is time for us to break our chapter-by-chapter survey of scientific discovery and examine some deep-lying concepts. We begin with a fantasy based on a theme by that master science writer Sir James Jeans.
