Frontmatter Contents Preface
John Archibald Wheeler: A Few Highlights of His Contributions to Physics Early Estimates of the Strength of the Nuclear Spin-Orbit Force Momentum Projection of Solitons Including Quantum Corrections An S Matrix Theory for Classical Nonlinear Physics Some Generalizations of the Virial Theorem Does the Topology of Space Fluctuate? Barrier Penetration and Initial Values in Kaluza-Klein Theories Obvious, Incredible ... Professor Wheeler and the Crack of Doom: Closed Cosmologies in the 5-d Kaluza-Klein Theory Gravitation and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking The Birth of Time Black Holes and Quantum Coherence Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Thermal Ambience Relative to an Accelerated Frame Test of the Gravitomagnetic Field via Laser-Ranged Satellites Static Electromagnetic Geon The Geometrodynamic Content of the Regge Equations as Illuminated by the Boundary of a Boundary Principle Canonical Geometrodynamics and General Covariance Boundary Terms in the Action Principles of General Relativity Bianchi Identities and the Automatic Conservation of Energy-Momentum and Angular Momentum in General-Relativistic Field Theories The Boundary of a Boundary Principle: A Unified Approach The Gravitational Field at Spatial Infinity Gravitational Radiation Reaction on the Motion of Particles in General Relativity Equivalent Lagrangians in Classical Field Theory p-Form Electrodynamics General Covariance and Quantum Theory Steering the Universe On Observing the Absence of an Atom How to Evade the Confrontation with the Uncertainty Relations Are the Quantum Rules Exact? The Case of the Imperfect Measurements The Problems in Quantum Foundations in the Light of Gauge Theories Joint Wigner Distribution for Spin-1/2 Particles Wedges I The Measurement of Quantum Noise Reduction in Squeezed States Quantum Mechanics without Probability Amplitudes Quantum Mechanical Computers Computability and Physical Theories Computation and Physics: Wheeler’s Meaning Circuit? On Wheeler's Notion of “Law without Law” in Physics Existence of “Free Will” as a Problem of Physics On the Nature and Origin of Complexity in Discrete, Homogeneous, Locally-Interacting Systems Descriptions of Plates
