Antony Valentini
"I look at the history of physics and I see how we've been in similar situations before... I believe there is a real world, and we need to find out about it."
Antony Valentini is a theoretical physicist and author tackling the most foundational issues in quantum mechanics. He has held research positions at the University of Rome La Sapienza, Imperial College London, and Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. He is currently academic visitor at Imperial College London.
Valentini is the co-author of Quantum Theory at the Crossroads, which explores the development of quantum theory at the time of the Fifth Solvay Conference. His most recent book Beyond the Quantum: A Quest for the Origin and Hidden Meaning of Quantum Mechanics offers a comprehensive rethink of quantum mechanics.
"Valentini stands as the most important thinker of this century defending the notion that science gives a complete description of physical processes." — Lee Smolin
