Description

This book addresses some of the problems of interpreting Schr�dinger’s mechanics � the most complete and explicit theory falling under the umbrella of �quantum theory�. The outlook is materialist (�realist�) and stresses the development of Schr�dinger’s mechanics from classical theories and its close connections with (particularly) the Hamilton-Jacobi theory. Emphasis is placed on the concepts and use of the modern objective (measure-theoretic) probability theory. The work is free from any mention of the bearing of Schr�dinger’s mechanics on God, his alleged mind or, indeed, minds at all. The author has taken the na�ve view that this mechanics is about the structure and dynamics of atomic and sub-atomic systems since he has been unable to trace any references to minds, consciousness or measurements in the foundations of the theory.Typham this is the title: PROBABILITY & SCHRODINGER’S MECHANICS
