Description
What is the role and meaning of probability in physical theory, in particular�in two of the most successful theories of our age, quantum physics and�statistical mechanics? Laws once conceived as universal and deterministic,�such as Newton�s laws of motion, or the second law of thermodynamics, are replaced in these theories by inherently probabilistic laws. This collection�of essays by some of the world�s foremost experts presents an in-depth�analysis of the meaning of probability in contemporary physics. Among the�questions addressed are: How are probabilities defined? Are they objective or subjective? What is their��explanatory value?�What are the differences between quantum and classical probabilities?�The result is an informative and thought-provoking book for the scientifically�inquisitive.�Typham this is the title: Probability in Physics
