—Hilary Putnam, Harvard University
"The publication of the third edition of Tim Maudlin's classic
book undoubtedly represents a most notable event. The richness and
depth of the previous editions has been enhanced by the
presentation of very recent and important investigation and debate
concerning the most crucial problem of modern physics, i.e. the
compatibility of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. Reading this
challenging and extremely deep book is a must for all people
interested in the conceptual foundations of science."
—GianCarlo Ghirardi, Professor Emeritus, University of
Trieste
Praise for the second edition
"Maudlin's book is outstanding, and is particularly remarkable
for three central achievements: the clearest exposition of Bell's
theorem I know of; a careful discussion of the (in)compatibility
between the implications of that theorem and relativity; and astute
suggestions for how one could deal with this problem. Maudlin is a
professional philosopher who writes on this most fundamental issue
of physics in a way that is far clearer than the work of most
physicists."
—Jean Bricmont, University of Louvain
