Below there will be shown some recommendations such as academic books, divulgation books and videos that will allow professional colleagues and students, introduced to the subjects that concern our research.

 

Videos:

Gravitación y cuántica sin gravitación cuántica, el ¿Cómo? y el ¿Por qué? {"Gravitation and Quantum without Quantum Gravitation, the How? and Why?"} (Daniel Sudarsky): Talk given at the Postgraduate Physical Sciences Colloquium UNAM October 22, 2019. [Talk was given in Spanish, no subtitles available]

A Novel Account for the Nature and Magnitude of Dark Energy (Daniel Sudarsky): Talk given at the John Bell Institute in "The Chimera of Entropy II Summer School" which has taken place from 20 to 24 of July 2019. [Subtitles Available]

 

The Problem with Quantum Theory (Tim Maudlin): Interview realized to Professor Tim Maudlin by The Institute of Arts and Ideas, in which the Professor talks about the problems related to Quantum Mechanics and highlights the importance of the study of his foundations. 

What Theories Qualify as Quantum Theories without Observers? (Tim Maudlin): Talk was given at ZiF, Bielefeld in the conference "Quantum Theory without Observers III"  in which the Professor talks explicitly about the Measurement Problem in Quantum Mechanics and the role of an observer in this problem, the Professor also expose some of the requirements to avoid this problem.


Books:

What is Real? (Adam Becker): In this book the author narrates the story of Quantum Mechanics from their beginnings to our days, passing through the first questionings made by Einstein, Schrödinger and Bohm between others, and how the community without convincing answers just decided to ignore them. It also exposes the unfortunate interference of political interests in this story. It finally opens the door to new ideas that try to resolve these problems.

Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: An Exploration of the Physical Meaning of Quantum Theory (Travis Norsen): This book emerged with the purpose of help physics students to understand what Quantum Theory might imply, this is done by exposing the several formulations of a Quantum Theory, it also helps to appreciate and understand the concerns that people like Einstein, Schrödinger, and Bell have had with traditional formulations of the theory.

The Emperor's New Mind (Roger Penrose)In this book the author from a very didactic and accessible perspective, takes us by the hand in subjects such as the philosophy of mathematics and their limitations as well as its influence in computers, besides treating the subject of consciousness and the hypothesis (made by the author) that Quantum Mechanics plays a fundamental role in the understanding of it.
