  • Philosophical Problems of Modern Physics

    Translated by W. Riemer ...
    by Peter Mittelstaedt ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Professor Peter Mittelstaedt is a physicist whose primary concern is the foundations of current physical theories. This concern has made him, through his prolonged, incisive and detailed examinations of the structures and overall characteristics of these theories, into a philosopher of physic- of contemporary physics, to be precise, of relativistic theories of space and time, and of the logic of ...

  • Rational Reconstructions of Modern Physics

    by Peter Mittelstaedt ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Newton’s classical physics and its underlying ontology are loaded with several metaphysical hypotheses that cannot be justified by rational reasoning nor by experimental evidence. Furthermore, it is well known that some of these hypotheses are not contained in the great theories of Modern Physics, such as the theory of Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. This book shows that, on the basis of ... Read more

  • The Universe as Automaton

    From Simplicity and Symmetry to Complexity

    by Klaus Mainzer, Leon Chua ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This Brief is an essay at the interface of philosophy and complexity research, trying to inspire the reader with new ideas and new conceptual developments of cellular automata. Going beyond the numerical experiments of Steven Wolfram, it is argued that cellular automata must be considered complex dynamical systems in their own right, requiring appropriate analytical models in order to find precise ...

  • Back-of-the-envelope Quantum Mechanics: With Extensions To Many-body Systems And Integrable Pdes

    by Maxim Olchanyi (Olshanii) ...
    Dimensional and order-of-magnitude estimates are practiced by almost everybody but taught almost nowhere. When physics students engage in their first theoretical research project, they soon learn that exactly solvable problems belong only to textbooks, that numerical models are long and resource consuming, and that “something else” is needed to quickly gain insight into the system they are going ...
