{"product_id":"model-of-the-universe-a","title":"Model of the Universe, A","description":"\u003cp\u003eStorrs McCall presents an original philosophical theory of the nature of the universe based on a striking new model of its space-time structure. He shows that this theory can illuminate a wide variety of hitherto unresolved philosophical problems. These include: the direction and flow of time; the nature of scientific laws; the interpretation of quantum mechanics; the definition of probability; counterfactual semantics; and the notions of identity, essential\n\u003cbr\u003eproperties, deliberation, decision, and free will. A particular instance of the explanatory powers of the proposed space-time model is its account of quantum non-locality in the EPR and GHZ\n\u003cbr\u003eexperiments.  Professor McCall argues that the fact that the model explains and throws light on such a broad range of problems constitutes strong evidence that the universe is as the model portrays it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156686401774,"sku":"9780198240532","price":165.83,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/model-of-the-universe-a","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
