The quantum of action was found more then a century ago, but until now the meaning of quantum theory is often claimed to be "unclear or even "not truly understandable. Another prejudice is that quantum theory is only relevant for the range of atomic and sub-atomic phenomena. After a ...

Beyond measure: modern physics, philosophy, and the meaning of quantum theoryQuantum theoryPhysics PhilosophyQuantum theory is one the most important and successful theories of modern physical science. It has been estimated that its principles form the basis for about 30 per cent of the world's ...
Each member of the group presented ideas concerning the interpretation of quantum mechanics. We had discussions ranging from the philosophical underpinnings of local realism and holism, information and decision theoretic approaches to quantum theory all the way to the many worlds interpretation. Strikingly...
After analyzing the difficulties for a local realistic interpretation of quantum theory, it is argued that such an interpretation might be possible if some new postulates are added to the standard ones. We propose a stochastic interpretation of quantum theory, which involves the need of joint probab...

“Quantum” is also a Latin word meaning “how much” and it’s this definition that sufficiently describes the science of quantum physics, for it measures very small thing. The study of physics is a relatively new field; in fact, many discoveries were made by Albert Einstein at the beginni...
Concepts of a natural set of values and a natural (intrinsic) meaning within a quantum Universe are discussed. Going beyond the Copenhagen interpretation orthodoxy by the Dirac-Heisenberg-Pauli-Stapp ontological model, it seems possible, at least in principle, to have a philosophically acceptable mat...
How does the world come to be just what it is, and not something else? Classical physics offers only a partial answer. It says that the deterministic laws of nature fix everything over all of...Stapp, Henry PierceUniversity of California...
