Quantum Theory and Pictures of Reality: Foundations, Interpretations, and New Aspects

Schommers introduces the foundations, mostly from a histori-
cal point of view. Eberhard gives an introductory account of
the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox and Bell's celebrated
inequalities. D'Espagnat discusses realism andseparability
and concludes that contemporary physics does not lead to a
definite conception of the world. Eberhard shows how a model
consistent with Bell's theorem can be constructed by ad-
mitting faster-than-light action at a distance. Schommers
discusses the structure ofspace-time and argues that physi-
cally real processes do not take place in but are projected
on space-time. Selleri discusses the idea that objectively
real quantum waves exist and could in principle be detected.
