Philosopher of physics (Bertrand Russell Professor of Philosophy emeritus, University of Cambridge) known for work on time's arrow, causal asymmetry, and the foundations of probability. Matters to this vault as the author of "Retrieving the Baby" (2026), which argues Bell-inequality violations can be read as a selection-bias artefact under Reichenbach's Principle of Common Cause rather than as evidence against locality — a conclusion that rhymes with, but is mechanistically unrelated to, [[entity-sebastian-horvat|Sebastian Horvat]]'s history-dependence account.

Not to be confused with this vault's other "Price" entities — [[entity-richard-price|Richard Price]] (18th-century actuary and moral philosopher), [[entity-time-price|Time Price]], or [[entity-derek-de-solla-price|Derek de Solla Price]] — unrelated namesakes; the vault has already been bitten once by a Price-name embedding collision (see `observation-briquet-1907-price-1771-cosine-pairing-is-embedding-false-friend`).
