Examples
-
If you want to include the time prior to the formation of the solar system you will have to tack on a few billion years that had been quite uneventful and still rather nonrelativistic.
-
See p. 496, where this procedure is implemented for the case of a nonrelativistic pointlike particle.
-
Instead, he applies the standard quantization procedure to twistor theory, the same canonical quantization that has been previously applied to nonrelativistic particles, spin, Maxwell's electromagnetic field and strings.
-
Any matter (nonrelativistic) degrees of freedom, for example, would ruin reversibility, as perturbations would grow.

[Ghirardi and Grassi, 1994, 1996] it has been proved that it is impossible to build a genuinely relativistically invariant theory which, in its nonrelativistic limit, exhibits parameter dependence.
Collapse Theories Ghirardi, Giancarlo 2007
-
As we have mentioned, the other consistent proposal, at the nonrelativistic level, of a conceptually satisfactory solution of the macro-objectification problem is represented by the Collapse Theories which are the subject of these pages.

Like nonrelativistic quantum theory, of which it is a version,
Bohmian Mechanics Goldstein, Sheldon 2006
-
This is not an objection to Bohmian mechanics but merely a recognition that quantum field theory explains a great deal more than does nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, whether in orthodox or Bohmian form.
Bohmian Mechanics Goldstein, Sheldon 2006
-
Bohmian mechanics is the minimal completion of Schrödinger's equation, for a nonrelativistic system of particles, to a theory describing a genuine motion of particles.
Bohmian Mechanics Goldstein, Sheldon 2006
-
Rather, it governs the motion of the fundamental variables, the positions of the particles: In the Bohmian mechanical version of nonrelativistic quantum theory, quantum mechanics is fundamentally about the behavior of particles; the particles are described by their positions, and Bohmian mechanics prescribes how these change with time.
