Description

Objectivity and conventionality in representation are often framed as polar opposites. Offering a fresh appraisal of symmetry in modern physics, employing case studies from relativity theory and quantum mechanics, this book contends that the physical sciences, though dependent on convention, may produce objective representations of reality.
