Why More Is Different [E-Book] : Philosophical Issues in Condensed Matter Physics and Complex Systems / edited by Brigitte Falkenburg, Margaret Morrison.
The physics of condensed matter, in contrast to quantum physics or cosmology, is not traditionally associated with deep philosophical questions. However, as science - largely thanks to more powerful computers - becomes capable of analysing and modelling ever more complex many-body systems, basic que...
