Abstract
Introduction. 1. Mathematics, Mysticism, and More. From Pythagoras and Plato to Pauli. 2. Mass in Motion. Kepler, Newton and Kelvin lay the Foundations. 3. From Engines to Entropy. Carnot and Clausius develop the yardstick of engine efficiency. 4. From Statistical Entropy to Statistical Time. Thermodynamics evolves from being an engineer's coal pit to becoming a philosopher's gold mine. 5. Maxwells's Demon and Szilard's One Atom Engine. A heady mixture of entropy, information and consciousness. 6. Quantum Mechanics I. From magnets to masers. 7. Using Quantum Mechanics to resolve the Maxwell Demon Paradox. Solving the demon problem with quantum mechanics but without information science, sweat or tears. 8. Quantum Mechanics II. The Wave side of particles and the particle side of waves. 9. From Wigner's Friend to Quantum Eraser. Of Wigner's friends and their amnesia. 10. On Quantum Mechanics and the Big Questions. From quantum controversy to Pauli's spiritual complementarily. Endnotes. Acknowledgements. Glossary. Citations, Comments and Further Readings. Index.
