Why More Is Different
Philosophical Issues in Condensed Matter Physics and Complex Systems
Language: English
Release Date: February 26, 2015
The physics of condensed matter, in contrast to quantum physics or cosmology, is not traditionally associated with deep philosophical questions. However, as science - largely thanks to more powerful computers - becomes capable of analysing and modelling ever more complex many-body systems, basic questions...
