505 0 Quantum theory -- Mathematics and finance -- The Higgs
boson.
520 This book of essays in four parts, was written over a
decade and full of surprises for the breadth and variety
of its subject matter. The first part is about the
foundations of the quantum theory which reflects the
author's many conversations with the late John Bell who
persuaded him that there is still no satisfactory
interpretation of the theory. The second part deals with
nuclear weapons. One of the essays concerns the creation
of the modern gas centrifuge which was done by German
prisoners of war in the Soviet Union. The proliferation of
these centrifuges was one of the issues in the spread of
nuclear weapons. The third section deals with financial
engineering with a profile of Louis Bachelier, the French
mathematician who created it at the beginning of the 20th
century. The final section deals with the Higgs boson and
how it is used for generating mass. It includes a detailed
article of how this mechanism works.
