Today, there is widespread agreement among philosophers and physicists that those arguments were wrong. However, the question of what that picture might look like, and how it might fit into a comprehensive picture of physical reality, remains unsettled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eA Guess at the Riddle\u003c\/i\u003e, philosopher David Z Albert argues that the distinctively strange features of quantum mechanics begin to make sense once we conceive of the wave function, vibrating and evolving in high-dimensional space, as the concrete, fundamental physical \"stuff\" of the universe. Starting with simple mechanical models, Albert methodically constructs the defining features of quantum mechanics from scratch. He shows how the entire history of our familiar, three-dimensional universe can be discerned in the wave function's intricate pattern of ripples and whorls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA major new work in the foundations of physics, \u003ci\u003eA Guess at the Riddle\u003c\/i\u003e is poised to transform our understanding of the basic architecture of the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853939003628,"sku":"9780674291263","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1414513482428.jpg?v=1759226629"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/david-z-albert.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
