Book Description
Quantum mechanics is one of mankind's most remarkable intellectual achievements. Stunningly successful and elegant, it challenges our deepest intuitions about the world. In this book, seventeen physicists and philosophers, all deeply concerned with understanding quantum mechanics, reply to Schlosshauer's penetrating questions about the central issues. They grant us an intimate look at their radically different ways of making sense of the theory's strangeness. What is quantum mechanics about? What is it telling us about nature? Can quantum information or new experiments help lift the fog? And where are we headed next? Everyone interested in the contemporary but often longstanding conundrums of quantum theory, whether lay reader or expert, will find much food for thought in these pages. A wealth of personal reflections and anecdotes guarantee an engaging read. Participants: Guido Bacciagaluppi, Caslav Brukner, Jeffrey Bub, Arthur Fine, Christopher Fuchs, GianCarlo Ghirardi, Shelly Goldstein, Daniel Greenberger, Lucien Hardy, Anthony Leggett, Tim Maudlin, David Mermin, Lee Smolin, Antony Valentini, David Wallace, Anton Zeilinger, and Wojciech Zurek.

Book Description
Each of us has a belief system in which at one extreme rejects everything that cannot be proved and at the other is open to all possibilities. Most of us believe in an afterlife although we don’t all agree on what, where and how is that life is to be lived. Do our souls roam the earth, go to Heaven...or Hell or somewhere in between? This story touches on the latter wherein a reclusive Metaphysicist has opened a portal from his convervatory into Purgatory or a Netherland where many of the masters of old who are all destined for Heaven remain because they feel their lives were cut short obviating the opportunity to complete their lives’ works.
