Publisher's Synopsis
The True Jacob is a presentation of quantum mechanics and physics from the perspective of the information interpretation, which states that the quantum is an amount of information about an event. There is much emphasis placed upon philosophical questions related to physics with a bias to the philosophy of reductionism. In addition there are new inspirational directions for quantum mechanics that are discussed including a theory of life from first principles and an experimental direction for instant communication in quantum mechanics. A philosophical world view is also postulated in the context of the information interpretation.
