Title Potentiality, Entanglement and Passion-at-a-Distance : Quantum Mechanical Studies for Abner Shimony, Volume Two Author(s) Cohen, Robert S;Horne, M;Stachel, J.J Publication Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1997. Description XI, 276 p : online resource Abstract Note Potentiality, Entanglement and Passion-at-a-Distance is a book for theoretical physicists and philosophers of modern physics. It treats a puzzling and provocative aspect of recent quantum physics: the apparent interaction of certain physical events that cannot share any causal connection. These are said to be `entangled' in some way, but an explanation remains elusive. Abner Shimony - to whom the book is dedicated - and others suggest the need to revive the category of what may be seen as a metaphysical potentiality. Abner has described these events without actions to link them as `passion at a distance': not active, but passive. The discussions gathered here are written by a truly remarkable cast of scientists and philosophers and shed new light on the most profound puzzles of our times ISBN,Price 9789401727327 Keyword(s) 1.
