Overview

Why do we observe phenomena that necessitate indeterminacy prior to observation? Why don't we notice quantum phenomena at scales similar to our own? How can we intuitively understand entanglement without hidden variables or faster-than-light communication? ‘On Reality’ represents an endeavour to answer these questions via a unification of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of special relativity. It provides an intuitive explanation for quantum superposition as a consequence of quantum entanglement, and of quantum entanglement as a consequence of Descartes’ first principle. The resultant theory clarifies the hand-waving explanations of quantum mechanics that have dominated the past century and provides a clear philosophy that may act as a framework for future scientific investigations.

Author Information

Morgan Jones is a rising British mathematician and philosopher who has spent many years specialising in theories concerning the application of the limits of formal logic to physical systems. His first book, ‘On Reality’, questions the assumptions that have guided human thought, from Pythagoras to Einstein, and provides a meditation on what the philosophical consequences will be if these assumptions turn out to be false. Providing one possibility for the unification of special relativity with quantum mechanics, Jones’s book challenges the reader to adopt an unorthodox view of science. which may hold the key to many of the big questions that have haunted physics for the past century.
