Wie viel Wirklichkeit wollen wir? Virtuelle Realität zwischen Utopie und Weltflucht Unser Zugang zur Wirklichkeit wird zunehmend durch Computer geprägt. Denn mit Hilfe von Computersimulationen lässt sich virtuelle Realität (VR) erzeugen. VR hilft in der Forschung, das Wissen zu erweitern. Sie wird in der Ausbildung eingesetzt, um medizinische Eingriffe oder das Lenken eines Flugzeugs zu üben. Schließlich verschafft sie uns in Spi...

This volume offers an integrated understanding of how the theory of general relativity gained momentum after Einstein had formulated it in 1915. Chapters focus on the early reception of the theory in physics and philosophy and on the systematic questions that emerged shortly after Einstein's momentous discovery. They are written by physicists, historians of science, and philosophers, and were originally presented at the conference titled Think...

Probability plays a key role in modern physics: an international team of philosophers illuminate this role by exploring the epistemology and metaphysics of probabilities. They discuss statistical physics, probabilistic modelling, and quantum mechanics and critically assess objectivist and subjectivist views of probabilities in these fields.
